No, although there is a spin_trylock_bh for whatever reason.
Implementing this would not be hard, you just need to disable irqs
_before_ spin_trylock to avoid a race. Something like:
int dog;
unsigned long flags;
local_irq_save(flags);
dog = spin_trylock(lock);
if (!dog)
local_irq_restore(flags);
Oh, I'll just attach a patch. Enjoy,
