This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled wait: Fix __wait_event_hrtimeout for RT/DL tasks to the 5.4-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: wait-fix-__wait_event_hrtimeout-for-rt-dl-tasks.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 45480fc27ad1603a4bc6da87a5e681cd6afe5a7d Author: Juri Lelli <juri.lelli@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Jun 27 11:50:51 2022 +0200 wait: Fix __wait_event_hrtimeout for RT/DL tasks [ Upstream commit cceeeb6a6d02e7b9a74ddd27a3225013b34174aa ] Changes to hrtimer mode (potentially made by __hrtimer_init_sleeper on PREEMPT_RT) are not visible to hrtimer_start_range_ns, thus not accounted for by hrtimer_start_expires call paths. In particular, __wait_event_hrtimeout suffers from this problem as we have, for example: fs/aio.c::read_events wait_event_interruptible_hrtimeout __wait_event_hrtimeout hrtimer_init_sleeper_on_stack <- this might "mode |= HRTIMER_MODE_HARD" on RT if task runs at RT/DL priority hrtimer_start_range_ns WARN_ON_ONCE(!(mode & HRTIMER_MODE_HARD) ^ !timer->is_hard) fires since the latter doesn't see the change of mode done by init_sleeper Fix it by making __wait_event_hrtimeout call hrtimer_sleeper_start_expires, which is aware of the special RT/DL case, instead of hrtimer_start_range_ns.
