The quilt patch titled Subject: mm/memory-failure: use raw_spinlock_t in struct memory_failure_cpu has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-memory-failure-use-raw_spinlock_t-in-struct-memory_failure_cpu.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-hotfixes-stable branch of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm
------------------------------------------------------ From: Waiman Long longman@redhat.com Subject: mm/memory-failure: use raw_spinlock_t in struct memory_failure_cpu Date: Tue, 6 Aug 2024 12:41:07 -0400
The memory_failure_cpu structure is a per-cpu structure. Access to its content requires the use of get_cpu_var() to lock in the current CPU and disable preemption. The use of a regular spinlock_t for locking purpose is fine for a non-RT kernel.
Since the integration of RT spinlock support into the v5.15 kernel, a spinlock_t in a RT kernel becomes a sleeping lock and taking a sleeping lock in a preemption disabled context is illegal resulting in the following kind of warning.

Fix it by using a raw_spinlock_t for locking instead.
Also move the pr_err() out of the lock critical section and after put_cpu_ptr() to avoid indeterminate latency and the possibility of sleep with this call.
