From 7f1b43936f0ecad14770634c021cf4a929aec74d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Thu, 17 May 2012 21:19:46 +0200 Subject: sched/rt: Fix lockdep annotation within find_lock_lowest_rq() Roland Dreier reported spurious, hard to trigger lockdep warnings within the scheduler - without any real lockup. This bit gives us the right clue: > [89945.640512] [] double_lock_balance+0x5a/0x90 > [89945.640568] [] push_rt_task+0xc6/0x290 if you look at that code you'll find the double_lock_balance() in question is the one in find_lock_lowest_rq() [yay for inlining]. Now find_lock_lowest_rq() has a bug.. it fails to use double_unlock_balance() in one exit path, if this results in a retry in push_rt_task() we'll call double_lock_balance() again, at which point we'll run into said lockdep confusion.
