Subject[PATCH RT 05/16] list_bl.h: fix it for for !SMP && !DEBUG_SPINLOCK
From: =?UTF-8?q?Uwe=20Kleine-K=C3=B6nig?= <u.kleine-koenig@pengutronix.de>

The patch "list_bl.h: make list head locking RT safe" introduced
an unconditional

__set_bit(0, (unsigned long *)b);

in void hlist_bl_lock(struct hlist_bl_head *b). This clobbers the value
of b->first. When the value of b->first is retrieved using
hlist_bl_first the clobbering is undone using

(unsigned long)h->first & ~LIST_BL_LOCKMASK

and so depending on LIST_BL_LOCKMASK being one. But LIST_BL_LOCKMASK is
only one if at least on of CONFIG_SMP and CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK are
defined. Without these the value returned by hlist_bl_first has the
zeroth bit set which likely results in a crash.

So only do the clobbering in the cases where LIST_BL_LOCKMASK is one.
An alternative would be to always define LIST_BL_LOCKMASK to one with
CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT_BASE.
