Ooh, that is just no fun too :\
Again surprised some lockdep didn't catch wrongly nesting irq locks

Yes, it looks like there is no reason for this, all users of the
xarray are from sleeping contexts, so it shouldn't need the IRQ
version.. I made a patch for this thanks
The cm_id_priv->lock is probably also not needing to be irq either,
but that is much harder to tell for sure

But this debugging would still catch the wrong nesting of a GFP_KERNEL
inside a spinlock, you don't like it?

Make sense.. But I've also done this with cmpxchg. A magic GFP flag,
as you tried to do with 0, is appealing in many ways
