+Subject: Drivers: hv: vmbus: Use kthread for vmbus interrupts on PREEMPT_RT
+
+From: Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@siemens.com>
+
+commit f8e6343b7a89c7c649db5a9e309ba7aa20401813 upstream.
+
+Resolves the following lockdep report when booting PREEMPT_RT on Hyper-V
+with related guest support enabled:
+
+[ 1.127941] hv_vmbus: registering driver hyperv_drm

+
+As code paths that handle vmbus IRQs use sleepy locks under PREEMPT_RT,
+the vmbus_isr execution needs to be moved into thread context. Open-
+coding this allows to skip the IPI that irq_work would additionally
+bring and which we do not need, being an IRQ, never an NMI.
+
+This affects both x86 and arm64, therefore hook into the common driver
+logic.
