list_bl: Make list head locking RT safe
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
As per changes in include/linux/jbd_common.h for avoiding the
bit_spin_locks on RT ("fs: jbd/jbd2: Make state lock and journal
head lock rt safe") we do the same thing here.

We use the non atomic __set_bit and __clear_bit inside the scope of
the lock to preserve the ability of the existing LIST_DEBUG code to
use the zero'th bit in the sanity checks.

As a bit spinlock, we had no lockdep visibility into the usage
of the list head locking.  Now, if we were to implement it as a
standard non-raw spinlock, we would see:

Since we are only taking the lock during short lived list operations,
lets assume for now that it being raw won't be a significant latency
concern.
