system_page_pool is a per-CPU variable and relies on disabled BH for its locking. Without per-CPU locking in local_bh_disable() on PREEMPT_RT this data structure requires explicit locking. Make a struct with a page_pool member (original system_page_pool) and a local_lock_t and use local_lock_nested_bh() for locking. This change adds only lockdep coverage and does not alter the functional behaviour for !PREEMPT_RT.

I'm a little fuzzy on how DEFINE_PER_CPU() works, but does this initialisation automatically do the right thing with the multiple per-CPU instances?

Hmm, instead of having four separate unlock calls in this function, how about initialising skb = NULL, and having the unlock call just above 'return skb' with an out: label? Then the three topmost 'return NULL' can just straight-forwardly be replaced with 'goto out', while the last one becomes 'skb = NULL; goto out;'. I think that would be more readable than this repetition. -Toke
