Sorry to necro this...

I have a customer case that has hit the issue here. It looks like this
fix didn't end up going in.

The only way I could reproduce it myself was to add a udelay(2) to
the tg_has_rt_tasks loop. With this patch applied, even with the
udelay nothing bad happens.

Kirill, did you have a good way to reproduce it without adding
delays?

Peter, is there any chance of taking something like this?

Is there a better fix?


Thanks,
Phil
