From: "Joel Fernandes (Google)" <j...@joelfernandes.org> On PREEMPT_RT kernels, the krcp spinlock gets converted to an rt-mutex and causes kfree_rcu() callers to sleep. This makes it unusable for callers in purely atomic sections such as non-threaded IRQ handlers and raw spinlock sections. Fix it by converting the spinlock to a raw spinlock.
Vetting all code paths, there is no reason to believe that the raw spinlock will hurt RT latencies as it is not held for a long time.
