Ah yes, makes sense. Did you want to use preempt_enable_no_resched()
at all then? No chance of preempt_count() being 1 at the point of
enable, as you comment below.

No worries, hope it's a mild one.

Looks good to me (other than the synchronize_sched()->synchronize_rcu()).

For these locking patches,
Reviewed-by: Josh Don <joshdon@...gle.com>

I'll see if I can repro  that lockup.
