Subject: [PATCH] locking: Revert switching guards to _irq_{disable,enable}()
Date: Mon, 24 Aug 2026 12:55:23 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260824105523.GA4121620@noisy.programming.kicks-ass.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260824104704.GA4121339@noisy.programming.kicks-ass.net>
While the guards are properly nested, not all wrapped code is nice, as already
highlighted by that fair.c hunk.
Syzbot found another instance of this pattern in posix_timer_delete(), which
does spin_unlock_irq()+spin_lock_irq() inside scoped_guard(spinlock_irq).
Combined with this patch, that goes sideways most spectacular.
Undo this change, until we've developed stronger tools / debug for such issues.
