Subject: [PATCH] gpio: mvebu: use raw spinlock for MMIO regmaps
Date: Tue, 15 Sep 2026 15:26:09 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260915222609.194216-1-rosenp@gmail.com> (raw)
The mask/unmask handlers run with the generic irqchip's raw spinlock
held and call regmap_read()/regmap_write() on the GPIO regmaps. By
default regmap protects itself with a plain spinlock, which becomes a
sleeping rt_mutex on CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT; taking it while holding the raw
irqchip lock trips might_sleep(), and PROVE_RAW_LOCK_NESTING flags the
same nesting on non-RT builds.
Configure both GPIO regmaps with .use_raw_spinlock = true so the MMIO
accesses stay atomic in hardirq and raw-locked context.
