Hmm. I'll recheck, quite possibly I missed something.

But. From include/linux/spinlock_types.h

/* PREEMPT_RT kernels map spinlock to rt_mutex */
#include <linux/rtmutex.h>

typedef struct spinlock {
struct rt_mutex_base lock;
#ifdef CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC
struct lockdep_map dep_map;
#endif
} spinlock_t;

see above...

Yes, but this won't work on RT? Again, I didn't check (yet), possibly I am
wrong...

See above and please correct me.

Oleg.
