The static lock quarantine_lock is used in quarantine.c to protect the quarantine queue datastructures. It is taken inside quarantine queue manipulation routines (quarantine_put(), quarantine_reduce() and quarantine_remove_cache()), with IRQs disabled. This is not a problem on a stock kernel but is problematic on an RT kernel where spin locks are sleeping spinlocks, which can sleep and can not be acquired with disabled interrupts. Convert the quarantine_lock to a raw spinlock_t. The usage of quarantine_lock is confined to quarantine.c and the work performed while the lock is held is used for debug purpose.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
