The patch titled Subject: fs/epoll: make nesting accounting safe for -rt kernel has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was fs-epoll-make-nesting-accounting-safe-for-rt-kernel.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Jason Baron <jbaron@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: fs/epoll: make nesting accounting safe for -rt kernel Davidlohr Bueso pointed out that when CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC is set ep_poll_safewake() can take several non-raw spinlocks after disabling interrupts. Since a spinlock can block in the -rt kernel, we can't take a spinlock after disabling interrupts. So let's re-work how we determine the nesting level such that it plays nicely with the -rt kernel. Let's introduce a 'nests' field in struct eventpoll that records the current nesting level during ep_poll_callback(). Then, if we nest again we can find the previous struct eventpoll that we were called from and increase our count by 1. The 'nests' field is protected by ep->poll_wait.lock. I've also moved the visited field to reduce the size of struct eventpoll from 184 bytes to 176 bytes on x86_64 for !CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC, which is typical for a production config.
