3.12.38-rt53-rc1 stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Gustavo Bittencourt <gbitten@xxxxxxxxx> The functions ww_mutex_lock_interruptible and ww_mutex_lock should return -EDEADLK when faced with a deadlock. To do so, the paramenter detect_deadlock in rt_mutex_slowlock must be TRUE. This patch corrects potential deadlocks when running PREEMPT_RT with nouveau driver.
