From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> v5.10.90-rt61-rc1 stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ----------- Upstream commit b542e383d8c005f06a131e2b40d5889b812f19c6 The recursion protection for eventfd_signal() is based on a per CPU variable and relies on the !RT semantics of spin_lock_irqsave() for protecting this per CPU variable. On RT kernels spin_lock_irqsave() neither disables preemption nor interrupts which allows the spin lock held section to be preempted. If the preempting task invokes eventfd_signal() as well, then the recursion warning triggers. Paolo suggested to protect the per CPU variable with a local lock, but that's heavyweight and actually not necessary. The goal of this protection is to prevent the task stack from overflowing, which can be achieved with a per task recursion protection as well. Replace the per CPU variable with a per task bit similar to other recursion protection bits like task_struct::in_page_owner. This works on both !RT and RT kernels and removes as a side effect the extra per CPU storage. No functional change for !RT kernels.
