[PATCH RT 10/20] kernel: softirq: unlock with irqs on

From: Steven Rostedt
Date: Wed Mar 02 2016 - 10:38:01 EST


3.18.27-rt27-rc1 stable review patch.
If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

We unlock the lock while the interrupts are off. This isn't a problem
now but will get because the migrate_disable() + enable are not
symmetrical in regard to the status of interrupts.
