Waiman Long d75abd0d0b mm/memory-failure: use raw_spinlock_t in struct memory_failure_cpu
The memory_failure_cpu structure is a per-cpu structure.  Access to its
content requires the use of get_cpu_var() to lock in the current CPU and
disable preemption.  The use of a regular spinlock_t for locking purpose
is fine for a non-RT kernel.

Since the integration of RT spinlock support into the v5.15 kernel, a
spinlock_t in a RT kernel becomes a sleeping lock and taking a sleeping
lock in a preemption disabled context is illegal resulting in the
following kind of warning.

  [12135.732244] BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/locking/spinlock_rt.c:48

Fix it by using a raw_spinlock_t for locking instead.

Also move the pr_err() out of the lock critical section and after
put_cpu_ptr() to avoid indeterminate latency and the possibility of sleep
with this call.

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.
