Dear documentation maintainers,
the latest version of locking.rst contains the following (since 2005):
"Manfred Spraul points out that you can still do this, even if the data
is very occasionally accessed in user context or softirqs/tasklets. The
irq handler doesn't use a lock, and all other accesses are done as so::
spin_lock(&lock);
disable_irq(irq);
"
Isn't it "sleeping in atomic" actually because of the sleeping
disable_irq()?
