Davidlohr Bueso pointed out that when CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC is set ep_poll_safewake() can take several non-raw spinlocks after disabling interrupts. Since a spinlock can block in the -rt kernel, we can't take a spinlock after disabling interrupts. So let's re-work how we determine the nesting level such that it plays nicely with the -rt kernel. Let's introduce a 'nests' field in struct eventpoll that records the current nesting level during ep_poll_callback(). Then, if we nest again we can find the previous struct eventpoll that we were called from and increase our count by 1. The 'nests' field is protected by ep->poll_wait.lock. I've also moved the visited field to reduce the size of struct eventpoll from 184 bytes to 176 bytes on x86_64 for !CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC, which is typical for a production config.

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.
