sched/cputime: fix a deadlock on 32bit systems
cpu_hardirq_time and cpu_softirq_time are protected with seqlock on 32bit systems. There is a potential deadlock with this seqlock and rq->lock. CPU 1 CPU0 ========================== ======================== --> acquire CPU0 rq->lock --> __irq_enter() ----> task enqueue/dequeue ----> irqtime_account_irq() ------> update_rq_clock() ------> irq_time_write_begin() --------> irq_time_read() --------> sched_account_irqtime() (waiting for the seqlock (waiting for the CPU0 rq->lock) held in irq_time_write_begin() Fix this issue by dropping the seqlock before calling sched_account_irqtime() Change-Id: I29a33876e372f99435a57cc11eada9c8cfd59a3f Signed-off-by: Pavankumar Kondeti <pkondeti@codeaurora.org>
