There is no imbalance, is there? Interrupts are disabled as part of acquiring the first lock and enabled again as part of releasing the second lock. It may not look beautiful. I'm just not sure if this | spin_lock_irq(&rq->engine->active.lock); | list_del(&rq->sched.link); | spin_unlock_irq(&rq->engine->active.lock); | | spin_lock_irq(&rq->lock); | i915_request_mark_complete(rq); … | spin_unlock_irq(&rq->lock); has been avoided because an interrupt here could change something or if this is just an optimisation. > -Chris Sebastian

The locks (active.lock and rq->lock) need to be taken with disabled interrupts. This is done in i915_request_retire() by disabling the interrupts independently of the locks itself. While local_irq_disable()+spin_lock() equals spin_lock_irq() on vanilla it does not on PREEMPT_RT. Also, it is not obvious if there is a special reason to why the interrupts are disabled independently of the lock. Enable/disable interrupts as part of the locking instruction.
