From: Dave Chinner <[email protected]>

hash-bl nests spinlocks inside the bit locks. This causes problems
for CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT which converts spin locks to sleeping locks,
and we're not allowed to sleep while holding a spinning lock.

Further, lockdep does not support bit locks, so we lose lockdep
coverage of the inode hash table with the hash-bl conversion.

To enable these configs to work, add an external per-chain spinlock
to the hlist_bl_head() and add helpers to use this instead of the
bit spinlock when preempt_rt or lockdep are enabled.

This converts all users of hlist-bl to use the external spinlock in
these situations, so we also gain lockdep coverage of things like
the dentry cache hash table with this change.

 /*
  * Special version of lists, where head of the list has a lock in the lowest
  * bit. This is useful for scalable hash tables without increasing memory
  * footprint overhead.
  *
- * For modification operations, the 0 bit of hlist_bl_head->first
- * pointer must be set.
+ * Whilst the general use of bit spin locking is considered safe, PREEMPT_RT
+ * introduces a problem with nesting spin locks inside bit locks: spin locks
+ * become sleeping locks, and we can't sleep inside spinning locks such as bit
+ * locks. However, for RTPREEMPT, performance is less of an issue than
+ * correctness, so we trade off the memory and cache footprint of a spinlock 
per
+ * list so the list locks are converted to sleeping locks and work correctly
+ * with PREEMPT_RT kernels.
+ *
+ * An added advantage of this is that we can use the same trick when lockdep is
+ * enabled (again, performance doesn't matter) and gain lockdep coverage of all
+ * the hash-bl operations.
+ *
+ * For modification operations when using pure bit locking, the 0 bit of
+ * hlist_bl_head->first pointer must be set.
  *
  * With some small modifications, this can easily be adapted to store several
  * arbitrary bits (not just a single lock bit), if the need arises to store
