The following commit has been merged into the locking/urgent branch of tip: Commit-ID: 91ea62d58bd661827c328a2c6c02a87fa4aae88b Gitweb: https://git.kernel.org/tip/91ea62d58bd661827c328a2c6c02a87fa4aae88b Author: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> AuthorDate: Fri, 18 Dec 2020 16:39:14 +01:00 Committer: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> CommitterDate: Fri, 18 Dec 2020 16:53:13 +01:00 softirq: Avoid bad tracing / lockdep interaction Similar to commit: 1a63dcd8765b ("softirq: Reorder trace_softirqs_on to prevent lockdep splat") __local_bh_enable_ip() can also call into tracing with inconsistent state. Unlike that commit we don't need to bother about the tracepoint because 'cnt-1' never matches preempt_count() (by construction).
