[PATCH v3 0/1] rust: helpers: Avoid raw_spin_lock initialization for PREEMPT_RT
From: Eder Zulian
Date: Thu Nov 07 2024 - 11:33:42 EST
Hello!
When PREEMPT_RT=y, spin locks are mapped to rt_mutex types, so using
spinlock_check() + __raw_spin_lock_init() to initialize spin locks is
incorrect, and would cause build errors.
This v3 patch introduces __spin_lock_init() to initialize a spin lock with
lockdep rquired information for PREEMPT_RT builds, and use it in the Rust
helper.
This patch was developed on top of linux-next/master.
As a note, at the time of writing, RUST support for x86_64 depends on
!(MITIGATION_RETHUNK && KASAN) || RUSTC_VERSION >= 108300. Miguel Ojeda
pointed out that this can be avoided with Rust 1.83, to be released in 3
weeks (2024-11-28).
In order to reproduce the problem rust must be available on the system.
$ make LLVM=1 rustavailable
With CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT=y, CONFIG_RUST=y, and CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK=y a
x86_64 kernel can be built with
$ make LLVM=1 -j$(nproc) bzImage

Version 2 changes:
- Cleaned up style and incorporated feedback from reviewers Boqun Feng and
Miguel Ojeda.
Version 3 changes:
- Addressed review comments from Boqun Feng. Improved commit title and
description and used a proper 'Fixed:' tag.
Thanks,
