From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <[email protected]> Date: Thu, 23 Jan 2014 14:45:59 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] leds: trigger: Disable CPU trigger on PREEMPT_RT The CPU trigger is invoked on ARM from CPU-idle. That trigger later invokes led_trigger_event() which may invoke the callback of the actual driver. That driver can acquire a spinlock_t which is okay on kernel without PREEMPT_RT. On PREEMPT_RT enabled kernel this lock is turned into a sleeping lock and must not be acquired with disabled interrupts. Disable the CPU trigger on PREEMPT_RT.
