See:

https://rt.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Frequently_Asked_Questions#How_does_the_CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT_patch_work.3F
spinlock_t
Critical sections are preemptible. The _irq operations (e.g., spin_lock_irqsave())
do -not- disable hardware interrupts. Priority inheritance is used to prevent priority
inversion. An underlying rt_mutex is used to implement spinlock_t in PREEMPT_RT.
As result, have to do things like:
