rcu: Permit rt_mutex_unlock() with irqs disabled
Create a separate lockdep class for the rt_mutex used for RCU priority boosting and enable use of rt_mutex_lock() with irqs disabled. This prevents RCU priority boosting from falling prey to deadlocks when someone begins an RCU read-side critical section in preemptible state, but releases it with an irq-disabled lock held. Unfortunately, the scheduler's runqueue and priority-inheritance locks still must either completely enclose or be completely enclosed by any overlapping RCU read-side critical section. This version removes a redundant local_irq_restore() noted by Yong Zhang. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paul.mckenney@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
