Your patch was:

- if (!t || in_interrupt())
+ if (!t || (preempt_count() & (HARDIRQ_MASK | SOFTIRQ_OFFSET
+ | NMI_MASK)))

But look at the definitions:

#define irq_count() (preempt_count() & (HARDIRQ_MASK | SOFTIRQ_MASK \
| NMI_MASK))
#define in_interrupt() (irq_count())

So isn't the patch a no-op to start with?

Eh, SOFTIRQ_OFFSET vs SOFTIRQ_MASK.

I'll just go stand in the corner.
