Both unit_free() and unit_free_rcu() invoke irq_work_raise() to free
freed objects back to slab and the invocation may also be preempted by
unit_alloc() and unit_alloc() may return NULL unexpectedly as shown in
the following case:
task A task B
unit_free()
// high_watermark = 48
// free_cnt = 49 after free
irq_work_raise()
// mark irq work as IRQ_WORK_PENDING
irq_work_claim()
// task B preempts task A
unit_alloc()
// free_cnt = 48 after alloc
// does unit_alloc() 32-times
......
// free_cnt = 16
unit_alloc()
// free_cnt = 15 after alloc
// irq work is already PENDING,
// so just return
irq_work_raise()
// does unit_alloc() 15-times
......
// free_cnt = 0
unit_alloc()
// free_cnt = 0 before alloc
return NULL
Fix it by enabling IRQ after irq_work_raise() completes.

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.
