sched/numa: Fix use of spin_{un}lock_irq() when interrupts are disabled As Peter Zijlstra told me, we have the following path: do_exit() exit_itimers() itimer_delete() spin_lock_irqsave(&timer->it_lock, &flags); timer_delete_hook(timer); kc->timer_del(timer) := posix_cpu_timer_del() put_task_struct() __put_task_struct() task_numa_free() spin_lock(&grp->lock); Which means that task_numa_free() can be called with interrupts disabled, which means that we should not be using spin_lock_irq() but spin_lock_irqsave() instead. Otherwise we are enabling interrupts while holding an interrupt unsafe lock!
