+Subject: rtc: cmos: use spin_lock_irqsave in cmos_interrupt
+MIME-Version: 1.0

+
+commit 00a39d8652ff9088de07a6fe6e9e1893452fe0dd upstream.
+
+cmos_interrupt() can be called in a non-interrupt context, such as in
+an ACPI event handler (which runs in an interrupt thread). Therefore,
+usage of spin_lock(&rtc_lock) is insecure. Use spin_lock_irqsave() /
+spin_unlock_irqrestore() instead.
+
+Before a misguided
+commit 6950d046eb6e ("rtc: cmos: Replace spin_lock_irqsave with spin_lock in hard IRQ")
+the cmos_interrupt() function used spin_lock_irqsave(). That commit
+changed it to spin_lock() and broke locking, which was partially fixed in
+commit 13be2efc390a ("rtc: cmos: Disable irq around direct invocation of cmos_interrupt()")
+
+That second commit did not take account of the ACPI fixed event handler
+pathway, however. It introduced local_irq_disable() workarounds in
+cmos_check_wkalrm(), which can cause problems on PREEMPT_RT kernels
+and are now unnecessary.
+
+Add an explicit comment so that this change will not be reverted by
+mistake.
