The swap_lock used by sbitmap has a chain with locks taken from softirq, but the swap_lock is not protected from being preempted by softirqs. A chain exists of: sbq->ws[i].wait -> dispatch_wait_lock -> swap_lock Where the sbq->ws[i].wait lock can be taken from softirq context, which means all locks below it in the chain must also be protected from softirqs.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
