Ooops again, that is not exactly what I wanted, because...

Then I end up cond_resched'ing here in the non-preemptive kernel.

But I also want to avoid this cond_resched if preempt_disable is set.

So, I will merge both things:

- change the preempt_disable assignment to check !irq_disabled, like:

/*
* Disabling preemption is only required if IRQs are enabled, and the options is set on.
*/
preempt_disable = !irq_disable && test_bit(OSN_PREEMPT_DISABLE, &osnoise_options);

- change the preempt disabled if to
if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_PREEMPT) && preempt_disabled)
preempt_disable();

I tested with both preemption models (preemptive and not preemptive) and it works fine.

am I missing something?
