I see, thank you. :-)

I just quickly looked at about the spinlock on -rt mode. Because
realtime linux kernel provides two kinds of spinlock, the original
spinlock_t will be replaced the one which is able to sleep, actually,
like mutex. And another one (you mentioned here, raw_spinlock_t) can
keep on non-sleep behavior, that is the real spinlock.

And my lock here also will be nested under perf_event_context::lock,
right?

Can you CC me when you post that patch next time?

OK, that's because allocation might sleep when IRQ disabled. That's

I draft an update diff that based on original patch, please take a
look.
