From: Wen Yang <[email protected]> We occasionally hit a lockdep "Invalid wait context" warning in production when a reactor callback is preempted by a timer interrupt. On interrupt exit the scheduler takes rq->__lock (LD_WAIT_SPIN) while rv_react() still holds its wait-type-override map, which declared LD_WAIT_FREE. On a preemptible kernel (e.g. CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT) this triggers a spurious lockdep report: [ BUG: Invalid wait context ] 1 lock held by kunit_try_catch/209: #0: (rv_react_map-wait-type-override){+.+.}-{1:1} kunit_try_catch/209 is trying to lock: ffff8a743ed3e8a0 (&rq->__lock){-...}-{2:2} Changes in v2: - Use a context-sensitive override map: LD_WAIT_SPIN in preemptible contexts, LD_WAIT_FREE in NMI/hardirq where the scheduler cannot run (patch 1). - Merge the v1 printk/panic test files into one generic rv_reactors_kunit covering registration and dispatch, as the v1 tests were mostly not reactor-specific (patches 2-4). - Export rv_register_reactor()/rv_unregister_reactor() so the tristate KUnit module can link against them (patch 3). - Propagate rv_register_reactor() errors from the built-in reactor init functions instead of silently ignoring them (patch 2). - KUnit tests are tristate (usable with CONFIG_KUNIT=m) and verify the callback is actually invoked (atomic counter), the exact -EINVAL on duplicate registration, and use mdelay(5) to exercise the lockdep context under load. A teardown action unregisters the test reactor even if a test aborts. Patch 1 fixes the lockdep warning. Patches 2-3 make the registration API usable by the test module and propagate its errors. Patch 4 adds the KUnit tests. Tested with CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING=y and CONFIG_KUNIT=y.
