[PATCH 1/3] rv/reactors: fix lockdep "Invalid wait context" in rv_react()

From: wen . yang

Date: Mon Jun 15 2026 - 12:45:28 EST


From: Wen Yang <wen.yang@xxxxxxxxx>

The DEFINE_WAIT_OVERRIDE_MAP() macro creates a lockdep map with
wait_type_inner = LD_WAIT_CONFIG, which inherits the outer context's
wait type. When rv_react() is called from a LD_WAIT_FREE context
(e.g., a KUnit test with busy-wait), and the reactor callback triggers
a timer interrupt during the busy-loop, the interrupt exit path attempts
to schedule (preempt_schedule_irq -> __schedule -> rq->__lock), which is
LD_WAIT_SPIN. Lockdep then reports:

[ BUG: Invalid wait context ]
context-{5:5}
1 lock held by kunit_try_catch/209:
#0: rv_react_map-wait-type-override at rv_react+0x9d/0xf0

The wait_type_override map allowed the outer LD_WAIT_FREE to propagate
inward, but scheduling from an interrupt is LD_WAIT_SPIN, violating the
constraint.

Fix by explicitly setting wait_type_inner = LD_WAIT_SPIN, which is the
tightest constraint rv_react() callbacks must satisfy: they may not
sleep (LD_WAIT_SLEEP) or use mutexes, but can use spinlocks and be
interrupted. This matches the documented LD_WAIT_FREE constraint.

Fixes: 69d8895cb9a9 ("rv: Add explicit lockdep context for reactors")
