From: Wander Lairson Costa <wander@xxxxxxxxxx> write_msg(netconsole.c:836) calls netpoll_send_udp after a call to spin_lock_irqsave, which normally disables interrupts; but in PREEMPT_RT this call just locks an rt_mutex without disabling irqs. In this case, netpoll_send_udp is called with interrupts enabled.
