A busy-wait loop is used to implement waiting for bits to be copied from the skb to the kernel buffer before retiring a block. This is a problem on PREEMPT_RT because the copying task could be preempted by the busy-waiting task and thus live lock in the busy-wait loop. Replace the busy-wait logic with an rwlock_t. This provides lockdep coverage and makes the code RT ready. Signed-off-by: John Ogness <john.ogness@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
