This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled nd_btt: Make BTT lanes preemptible to the 5.10-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: nd_btt-make-btt-lanes-preemptible.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 88379ef5535c69920c73f88e62e28f0d558c8240 Author: Tomas Glozar <tglozar@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Sep 20 07:37:12 2023 +0200 nd_btt: Make BTT lanes preemptible [ Upstream commit 36c75ce3bd299878fd9b238e9803d3817ddafbf3 ] nd_region_acquire_lane uses get_cpu, which disables preemption. This is an issue on PREEMPT_RT kernels, since btt_write_pg and also nd_region_acquire_lane itself take a spin lock, resulting in BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context. Fix the issue by replacing get_cpu with smp_process_id and migrate_disable when needed. This makes BTT operations preemptible, thus permitting the use of spin_lock.
