It is taken inside quarantine queue manipulation routines (quarantine_put(), quarantine_reduce() and quarantine_remove_cache()), with IRQs disabled. This is not a problem on a stock kernel but is problematic on an RT kernel where spin locks are sleeping spinlocks, which can sleep and can not be acquired with disabled interrupts. Convert the quarantine_lock to a raw spinlock_t. The usage of quarantine_lock is confined to quarantine.c and the work performed while the lock is held is used for debug purpose.
