From: Steven Rostedt
Date: Thu Jan 23 2020 - 15:41:27 EST


4.19.94-rt39-rc2 stable review patch.
If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Julien Grall <julien.grall@xxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit fd420354bea2f57c11f3de191dffdeea76531e76 ]

Acquiring the lock in hrtimer_grab_expiry_lock() is designed for
sleeping-locks and should not be used with disabled interrupts.
hrtimer_cancel() may invoke hrtimer_grab_expiry_lock() also for locks
which expire in hard-IRQ context.

Let hrtimer_cancel() invoke hrtimer_grab_expiry_lock() only for locks
which expire in softirq context.
