Subject: [PATCH v2 0/4] Fix put_task_struct() calls under PREEMPT_RT
Date:   Fri, 20 Jan 2023 12:02:38 -0300

put_task_struct() decrements a usage counter and calls
__put_task_struct() if the counter reaches zero.

__put_task_struct() indirectly acquires a spinlock, which is a sleeping
lock under PREEMPT_RT. Therefore, we can't call put_task_struct() in an
atomic context in RT kernels.

This patch series introduces put_task_struct_atomic_safe(), which defers
the call to __put_task_struct() to a process context when compiled with
PREEMPT_RT.

It also fixes known problematic call sites.

Changelog:
==========

v2:
 * Add the put_task_struct_atomic_safe() function that is responsible for
   handling the conditions to call put_task_struct().
 * Replace put_task_struct() by put_task_struct_atomic_safe() in known
   atomic call sites.

Wander Lairson Costa (4):
  sched/task: Add the put_task_struct_atomic_safe function
  sched/deadline: fix inactive_task_timer splat
  sched/rt: use put_task_struct_atomic_safe() to avoid potential splat
  sched/core: use put_task_struct_atomic_safe() to avoid potential splat
