[ Upstream commit 3c7b30f704b6f5e53eed6bf89cf2c8d1b38b02c0 ] The BCM2835 pinctrl driver acquires a spinlock in its ->irq_enable, ->irq_disable and ->irq_set_type callbacks. Spinlocks become sleeping locks with CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT_FULL=y, therefore invocation of one of the callbacks in atomic context may cause a hard lockup if at least two GPIO pins in the same bank are used as interrupts. The issue doesn't occur with just a single interrupt pin per bank because the lock is never contended. I'm experiencing such lockups with GPIO 8 and 28 used as level-triggered interrupts, i.e. with ->irq_disable being invoked on reception of every IRQ. The critical section protected by the spinlock is very small (one bitop and one RMW of an MMIO register), hence converting to a raw spinlock seems a better trade-off than converting the driver to threaded IRQ handling (which would increase latency to handle an interrupt).

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
