It is not safe to call spin_lock() with irq disabled on RT-linux.
Instead, transfer the code segment to spin_lock_irqsave to make it work
on both RT and non-RT linux.

Hi,

have you investigated what is protected by the local_irq_save() in there? The lock is not always taken, OTOH the interrupts are always disabled.

I believe the fix is not as easy as is presented below.
