We need to disable irqs around slab_lock() (a bit spinlock) to make it irq-safe. Most calls to slab_lock() are nested under spin_lock_irqsave() which doesn't disable irqs on PREEMPT_RT, so add explicit disabling with PREEMPT_RT. The exception is cmpxchg_double_slab() which already disables irqs, so use a __slab_[un]lock() variant without irq disable there. slab_[un]lock() thus needs a flags pointer parameter, which is unused on !RT. free_debug_processing() now has two flags variables, which looks odd, but only one is actually used - the one used in spin_lock_irqsave() on !RT and the one used in slab_lock() on RT. As a result, __cmpxchg_double_slab() and cmpxchg_double_slab() become effectively identical on RT, as both will disable irqs, which is necessary on RT as most callers of this function also rely on irqsaving lock operations. Thus, assert that irqs are already disabled in __cmpxchg_double_slab() only on !RT and also change the VM_BUG_ON assertion to the more standard lockdep_assert one.

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.
