From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> In !PREEMPT_RT local_lock_irqsave() disables interrupts to protect critical section, but it doesn't prevent NMI, so the fully reentrant code cannot use local_lock_irqsave() for exclusive access. Introduce localtry_lock_t and localtry_lock_irqsave() that disables interrupts and sets acquired=1, so localtry_lock_irqsave() from NMI attempting to acquire the same lock will return false. In PREEMPT_RT local_lock_irqsave() maps to preemptible spin_lock(). Map localtry_lock_irqsave() to preemptible spin_trylock(). When in hard IRQ or NMI return false right away, since spin_trylock() is not safe due to PI issues. Note there is no need to use local_inc for acquired variable, since it's a percpu variable with strict nesting scopes.
