Subject[PATCH V2] kernel: locking: rtmutex: Fix a possible sleep-in-atomic-context bug in rt_mutex_handle_deadlock()
Date
The driver may sleep with holding a spinlock.

The function call paths (from bottom to top) in Linux-4.16 are:

[FUNC] schedule
kernel/locking/rtmutex.c, 1223:
schedule in rt_mutex_handle_deadlock
kernel/locking/rtmutex.c, 1273:
rt_mutex_handle_deadlock in rt_mutex_slowlock
kernel/locking/rtmutex.c, 1249:
_raw_spin_lock_irqsave in rt_mutex_slowlock

To fix the bug, the spinlock is released before the loop of schedule()
This is found by my static analysis tool (DSAC).

v2:
* Release the spinlock before the loop, instead of v1 that releases the
spinlock before schedule() and then acquires the spinlock again.
Thank Steven for good advice.
