rt_spin_lock is actually mutex on RT Kernel so it goes for contention
for lock. Currently owners of rt_spin_lock are decided before actual
acquiring of lock. This patch would depict the correct owner of
rt_spin_lock. The patch would help in solving crashes and deadlock
due to race condition of lock
acquiring rt_spin_lock acquired the lock released the lock

As per above call traces sample, Thread1 acquired the rt_spin_lock and
went to critical section on the other hand Thread2 kept trying to acquire
the same rt_spin_lock held by Thread1 ie contention period is too high.
Finally Thread2 entered to dl queue due to high held time of the lock by
Thread1. The below patch would help us to know the correct owner of
rt_spin_lock and point us the driver's critical section. Respective driver
need to be debugged for longer held period of lock.
ex: cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace
kworker/u13:0-150 [003] .....11 202.761025: rt_spinlock_acquire:

kworker/u13:0-150 [003] .....11 202.761042: rt_spinlock_released:
