Actually, maybe I was confusing this with the fixes Ingo had for
local_bh_disable vs. preemption in the -rt tree. Ingo, do you
have preemptible RCU support in your -rt tree and if so did you
have to fix the networking stack to behave correctly with it?
It could also be that the fixes for local_bh_disable also masked
any problems that would trigger under preemptible RCU.
Cheers,
