If a task is PI-blocked (blocking on sleeping spinlock) then we don't want to schedule a new kworker if we schedule out due to lock contention because !RT does not do that as well. A spinning spinlock disables preemption and a worker does not schedule out on lock contention (but spin). On RT the RW-semaphore implementation uses an rtmutex so tsk_is_pi_blocked() will return true if a task blocks on it. In this case we will now start a new worker which may deadlock if one worker is waiting on progress from another worker. Since a RW-semaphore starts a new worker on !RT, we should do the same on RT. XFS is able to trigger this deadlock. Allow to schedule new worker if the current worker is PI-blocked.

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.
