If you run on an SMP system and it happens that spin_lock_irqsave() just
immediately after spin_unlock(), you will get into the troubles. Am I mistaken?

I think this entire activity is a carefully crafted mine field for the future
syzcaller and fuzzers alike. I don't believe there are no side effects in a long
term on all possible systems and configurations (including forced threaded IRQ
handlers).

I would love to see a better explanation in the commit message of such patches
which makes it clear that there are *no* side effects.

For time being, NAK to the all patches of this kind.
