[PATCH 07/13] softirq: Avoid "local_softirq_pending" messages if task is in cpu_chill()

From: Tom Zanussi
Date: Mon Apr 08 2019 - 15:14:36 EST


4.14.109-rt58-rc1 stable review patch.
If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit a3429e0147dfd3fc585f989aa49a76579c2b6565 ]

If the softirq thread enters cpu_chill() then ->state is UNINTERRUPTIBLE
and has no ->pi_blocked_on set and so its mask is not taken into account.

->sleeping_lock is increased by cpu_chill() since it is also requried to
avoid a splat by RCU in case cpu_chill() is used while a RCU-read lock
is held. Use the same mechanism for the softirq-pending check.
