SubjectRe: [patch] Real-Time Preemption, -RT-2.6.12-rc6-V0.7.48-00

Hi Ingo,

I'm having some difficulty with your latest patches; more specifically
linux-2.6.12-rc6-git4-RT-V0.7.48-10 floods me with BUGs like these:

BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context ksoftirqd/1(7) at kernel/rt.c:1657
in_atomic():0 [20000000], irqs_disabled():536870912

----------------------------------------
.. [<c0141bdb>] .... print_traces+0x1b/0x60
.....[<c01041c3>] .. ( <= dump_stack+0x23/0x30)

I gather these are because of:

drivers/usb/code/hcd.c:rh_report_status

static void rh_report_status (unsigned long ptr)
{
struct urb *urb;
struct usb_hcd *hcd;
int length = 0;
unsigned long flags;

urb = (struct urb *) ptr;
local_irq_save (flags);
spin_lock (&urb->lock);


...
}

where local_irq_save() would disable pre-emption while spin_lock(); the
urb->lock is not a raw lock; can sleep.

I'm not well versed in that code; do you have a suggestion?

On another note; X seems to have trouble getting up. It consumes a full
CPU right after mode switching (afaict) without getting any progress.
I'll try and get a nice trace of X using sysrq-t.
