[RFC patch 18/19] bpf, lpm: Make locking RT friendly
From: Thomas Gleixner
Date: Fri Feb 14 2020 - 11:22:53 EST
The LPM trie map cannot be used in contexts like perf, kprobes and tracing
as this map type dynamically allocates memory.
The memory allocation happens with a raw spinlock held which is a truly
spinning lock on a PREEMPT RT enabled kernel which disables preemption and
interrupts.
As RT does not allow memory allocation from such a section for various
reasons, convert the raw spinlock to a regular spinlock.
On a RT enabled kernel these locks are substituted by 'sleeping' spinlocks
which provide the proper protection but keep the code preemptible.
On a non-RT kernel regular spinlocks map to raw spinlocks, i.e. this does
not cause any functional change.
