On PREEMPT_RT bit-spinlocks have the same semantics as on PREEMPT_RT=n, i.e. they disable preemption. That means functions which are not safe to be called in preempt disabled context on RT trigger a might_sleep() assert. The journal head bit spinlock is mostly held for short code sequences with trivial RT safe functionality, except for one place: jbd2_journal_put_journal_head() invokes __journal_remove_journal_head() with the journal head bit spinlock held. __journal_remove_journal_head() invokes kmem_cache_free() which must not be called with preemption disabled on RT. Jan suggested to rework the removal function so the actual free happens outside the bit-spinlocked region. Split it into two parts: - Do the sanity checks and the buffer head detach under the lock - Do the actual free after dropping the lock There is error case handling in the free part which needs to dereference the b_size field of the now detached buffer head. Due to paranoia (caused by ignorance) the size is retrieved in the detach function and handed into the free function. Might be over-engineered, but better safe than sorry. This makes the journal head bit-spinlock usage RT compliant and also avoids nested locking which is not covered by lockdep.
