Johannes, We are seeing a panic in the latest RT kernel (4.0.4-rt1) where a VM_BUG_ON(!irqs_disabled()) in mm/memcontrol.c fires. This is because on an RT kernel, rt_mutexes (which replace spinlocks) don't disable interrupts while the lock is held. I talked to Steven and he suggested that we replace the irqs_disabled() with spin_is_held(). Does this patch work for you?

Change the test for the lock being held to use spin_is_locked.
