There are a few functions which check for if the lock is held
(spin_lock_assert()) and the interrupts are disabled (irqs_disabled()).
From looking at the code, each function is static, the caller is near by
and does spin_lock_irq|safe(). As Linus puts it:

|It's not like this is some function that is exported to random users,
|and we should check that the calling convention is right.
|
|This looks like "it may have been useful during coding to document
|things, but it's not useful long-term".

Remove those checks.

Can you add a comment above the functions though?

I could. I haven't heard from Bart / Nicholas about their opinion. I
know, we do this other places but Bart was against this kind of
annotation in 2/2 of this thread.
So I am waiting to hear from them :)

The names of the two functions touched by patch 1/2 start with a double
underscore. That by itself is already a hint that these should be called with
a lock held (I know that this is not a universal convention in the Linux
kernel). I'm fine either way - either with patch 1/2 as posted or patch 1/2
with the above comment added.

Bart.

Okay. In that case let me update 1/2.
But 2/2 with the comment as Steven suggested is still a no no for you?

Although I'm not enthusiast about patch 2/2, if others agree with that 
patch I'm fine with that patch being sent upstream.

Thanks,

Bart.

I've been waiting for something to happen but nobody replied.
Bart, you were fine with 1/2 as posted but not too happy about 2/2.
Assuming we keep 1/2 as is and I remove just the
"WARN_ON_ONCE(!irqs_disabled());" from 2/2 (keeping the
assert_spin_locked()), would that improve your mood? Lockdep would still
perform full validation, yell if __transport_check_aborted_status() was
invoked without locking and also yell abut missing IRQ-save at locking
time of ->t_state_lock).

Would adding WARN_ON_ONCE(!irqs_disabled()) work fine with an RT kernel?

Thanks,

Bart.

no, because the interrupts are not disabled at this point on RT.
Lockdep works fine on RT.
