Subject: [PATCH 2/2] sched/uclamp: Fix a deadlock when enabling uclamp static key
Date:   Fri, 28 Aug 2020 13:56:10 +0100
Message-Id: <20200828125610.30943-3-qais.yousef@arm.com>
In-Reply-To: <20200828125610.30943-1-qais.yousef@arm.com>
References: <20200828125610.30943-1-qais.yousef@arm.com>
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

The following splat was caught when setting uclamp value of a task:

  BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at ./include/linux/percpu-rwsem.h:49

   cpus_read_lock+0x68/0x130
   static_key_enable+0x1c/0x38
   __sched_setscheduler+0x900/0xad8

Fix by ensuring we enable the key outside of the critical section in
__sched_setscheduler()
