Subject: [PATCH] timekeeping: Add a lockdep override in tick_freeze().
Date: Fri, 4 Apr 2025 15:34:29 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250404133429.pnAzf-eF@linutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <87r029uh3j.ffs@tglx>

tick_freeze() acquires a raw_spinlock_t (tick_freeze_lock). Later in the
callchain (timekeeping_suspend() -> mc146818_avoid_UIP()) the RTC driver
can acquire a spinlock_t which becomes a sleeping lock on PREEMPT_RT.
Lockdep complains about this lock nesting.

Add a lockdep override for this special case and a comment explaining
why it is okay.
