With PREEMPT_RT there is a rt_mutex recursion problem where
sched_submit_work() can use an rtlock (aka spinlock_t). More
specifically what happens is:
mutex_lock() /* really rt_mutex */
...
__rt_mutex_slowlock_locked()
task_blocks_on_rt_mutex()
// enqueue current task as waiter
// do PI chain walk
rt_mutex_slowlock_block()
schedule()
sched_submit_work()
...
spin_lock() /* really rtlock */
...
__rt_mutex_slowlock_locked()
task_blocks_on_rt_mutex()
// enqueue current task as waiter *AGAIN*
// *CONFUSION*
Fix this by making rt_mutex do the sched_submit_work() early, before
it enqueues itself as a waiter -- before it even knows *if* it will
wait.
[[ basically Thomas' patch but with different naming and a few asserts
added ]]

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 Restructured Text 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.
