Are these patches intended to be applied to Linus' tree before v5.9 is released? This patchset will cause conflicts against -next. For instance, in patch 34, RT_TRACE has already been removed in -next.

Sorry. will fix and rebase. Thanks, tglx
Folks, in the discussion about preempt count consistency accross kernel configurations: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20200914204209.256266093@linutronix.de/ Linus clearly requested that code in drivers and libraries which changes behaviour based on execution context should either be split up so that e.g. task context invocations and BH invocations have different interfaces or if that's not possible the context information has to be provided by the caller which knows in which context it is executing. This includes conditional locking, allocation mode (GFP_*) decisions and avoidance of code paths which might sleep. In the long run, usage of 'preemptible, in_*irq etc.' should be banned from driver code completely. Our team started to dig through drivers and this it the first batch of cleanups in drivers/net/. It's not yet complete, so expect further patches in the next days. The series contains: - A couple of bug fixes - Removal of the bitrotting CAIF SPI driver which has never had a matching driver providing the necessary platform device support. - Removal of WARN/BUG(in_interrupt()) en masse as most of them are incomplete because they won't detect other non-preemptible context. All of the functions which have these WARN/BUG invoke core code functions which can sleep. These have plenty of checks to catch _all_ invalid contexts. So it's pointless to have incomplete WARN/BUG in the drivers. If a driver wants to have such a check for paranoia reasons, then e.g. lockdep_assert_preemtion_enabled() is the right mechanism to chose because lockdep guarantees to catch all invalid contexts independent of kernel configuration while e.g. preemptible() does not. - Conversion of in_interrupt() checks to use either different functions or to hand the context information in from the caller. - For some drivers handing the context into functions which decided between netif_rx() and netif_rx_ni() turned out to be impossible due to lack of driver knowledge and convoluted code pathes with multiple indirections. For those a core code function netif_rx_any_context() is provided which contains an in_interrupt() check as a stop gap. This allows to make progess on the driver side cleanup and the function should go away once the driver wizards have fixed it up proper. - Simplifcation and cleanups in various places where code pointlessly contains in_interrupt() conditionals which are mostly leftovers from calling conventions in older kernels and have never been cleaned up. Along with removing if from the horrible DBG_FOO() macro mess which probably should be removed completely as the kernel today provides way more sensible mechanisms to do function tracing and similar. - A few other cleanups which were obvious when chasing the in_interrupt() usage.
