The tasklet_unlock_spin_wait() via tasklet_disable_in_atomic() is provided for a few legacy tasklet users. The interface is used from atomic context (which is either softirq or disabled preemption) on non-PREEMPT_RT and relies on spinning until the tasklet callback completes. On PREEMPT_RT the context is never atomic but the busy polling logic remains. It is possible that the thread invoking tasklet_unlock_spin_wait() has higher priority than the tasklet. If both run on the same CPU the the tasklet makes no progress and the thread trying to cancel the tasklet will live-lock the system. To avoid the lockup tasklet_unlock_spin_wait() uses local_bh_disable()/ enable() which utilizes the local_lock_t for synchronisation. This lock is a central per-CPU BKL and about to be removed. Solve this by acquire a lock in tasklet_action_common() which is held while the tasklet's callback is invoked. This lock will be acquired from tasklet_unlock_spin_wait() via tasklet_callback_cancel_wait_running(). After the tasklet completed tasklet_callback_sync_wait_running() drops the lock and acquires it again. In order to avoid unlocking the lock even if there is no cancel request, there is a cb_waiters counter which is incremented during a cancel request. Blocking on the lock will PI-boost the tasklet if needed, ensuring progress is made.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
