From: Rik van Riel Date: Fri, 12 Sep 2014 13:12:15 +0000 (-0400) Subject: sched, time: Fix lock inversion in thread_group_cputime() X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=9c368b5b6eccce1cbd7f68142106b3b4ddb1c5b5;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git sched, time: Fix lock inversion in thread_group_cputime() The sig->stats_lock nests inside the tasklist_lock and the sighand->siglock in __exit_signal and wait_task_zombie. However, both of those locks can be taken from irq context, which means we need to use the interrupt safe variant of read_seqbegin_or_lock. This blocks interrupts when the "lock" branch is taken (seq is odd), preventing the lock inversion. On the first (lockless) pass through the loop, irqs are not blocked.
