Subject: [PATCH v8 11/21] ring-buffer: Use irqsave for the reader lock in ring_buffer_poll_remote
Date: Fri,  6 Nov 2026 18:06:47 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261106180657.2460376-12-vdonnefort@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261106180657.2460376-1-vdonnefort@google.com>

Calling rb_wakeups with the reader lock held but interrupts enabled can
lead to a deadlock: the irq_work might run on the same CPU, but will
block when acquiring that very same reader spinlock.

First, rb_wakeups does not even need to be called under the reader lock.
Move the function outside of the reader lock scope.

Second, the reader lock must be acquired with IRQs disabled anyway. Use
the irqsave variant of the spinlock.

Fixes: 2e67fabd8b77 ("ring-buffer: Introduce ring-buffer remotes")
Reported-by: Sashiko <sashiko-bot@kernel.org>
Closes: https://sashiko.dev/#/patchset/20260602171146.2238998-1-vdonnefort%40google.com # patch 8
