Wow .... this is run in real mode right ?

spin_lock() and spin_unlock() are a big no-no in real mode. If lockdep
and/or spinlock debugging are enabled and something goes pear-shaped
they are going to bring your whole system down in a blink in quite
horrible ways.

If you are going to do that, you need some kind of custom low-level
lock.

Also, I see that you are basically using a non-ordered list and doing a
linear search in it every time. That's going to COST !

You should really consider a more efficient data structure. You should
also be able to do something that doesn't require locks for readers.
