From ebade5e833eda30f648d9bf4954f7d47a920b60f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ingo Molnar Date: Fri, 7 Mar 2014 14:58:39 +0100 Subject: serial: 8250: Clean up the locking for -rt In -RT the spin_lock_irqsave() does not spin but sleep if the lock is taken. Before that, local_irq_save() is invoked which disables interrupts even on -RT. Therefore local_irq_save() + spin_lock() does not work. In the ->sysrq and oops_in_progress case it is save to trylock the lock i.e. this is what we do now anyway except for ->sysrq where we assume that the lock is already taken. The spin_lock_irqsave() grabs the lock and disables the interrupts on vanilla (the same behavior) and on -RT it won't disable interrupts.
