The following commit has been merged into the irq/core branch of tip: Commit-ID: e739f98b4b11337a4e3865364b8922a9e5ad32b6 Gitweb: https://git.kernel.org/tip/e739f98b4b11337a4e3865364b8922a9e5ad32b6 Author: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> AuthorDate: Tue, 10 Nov 2020 12:38:48 +01:00 Committer: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> CommitterDate: Fri, 17 Sep 2021 15:08:22 +02:00 genirq: Move prio assignment into the newly created thread With enabled threaded interrupts the nouveau driver reported the following: | Chain exists of: | &mm->mmap_lock#2 --> &device->mutex --> &cpuset_rwsem | | Possible unsafe locking scenario: | | CPU0 CPU1 | ---- ---- | lock(&cpuset_rwsem); | lock(&device->mutex); | lock(&cpuset_rwsem); | lock(&mm->mmap_lock#2); The device->mutex is nvkm_device::mutex. Unblocking the lockchain at `cpuset_rwsem' is probably the easiest thing to do. Move the priority assignment to the start of the newly created thread.
