notifier: Make atomic_notifiers use raw_spinlock
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Booting a recent PREEMPT_RT kernel (v5.10-rc3-rt7-rebase) on my arm64 Juno
leads to the idle task blocking on an RT sleeping spinlock down some
notifier path:

Two points worth noting:

1) That this is conceptually the same issue as pointed out in:
   313c8c1 ("PM / CPU: replace raw_notifier with atomic_notifier")
2) Only the _robust() variant of atomic_notifier callchains suffer from
   this

AFAICT only the cpu_pm_notifier_chain really needs to be changed, but
singling it out would mean introducing a new (truly) non-blocking API. At
the same time, callers that are fine with any blocking within the call
chain should use blocking notifiers, so patching up all atomic_notifier's
doesn't seem *too* crazy to me.
