Acquire SRCU before taking the gpc spinlock in wait_pending_event() so as to be consistent with all other functions that acquire both locks. It's not illegal to acquire SRCU inside a spinlock, nor is there deadlock potential, but in general it's preferable to order locks from least restrictive to most restrictive, e.g. if wait_pending_event() needed to sleep for whatever reason, it could do so while holding SRCU, but would need to drop the spinlock.

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.
