4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx> commit ad0f1d9d65938aec72a698116cd73a980916895e upstream. When the rto_push_irq_work_func() is called, it looks at the RT overloaded bitmask in the root domain via the runqueue (rq->rd). The problem is that during CPU up and down, nothing here stops rq->rd from changing between taking the rq->rd->rto_lock and releasing it. That means the lock that is released is not the same lock that was taken. Instead of using this_rq()->rd to get the root domain, as the irq work is part of the root domain, we can simply get the root domain from the irq work that is passed to the routine: container_of(work, struct root_domain, rto_push_work) This keeps the root domain consistent.
