You lost me on "the spinlock will be called in call_srcu()".

Nice! A question below.

If this is built-in, could we please WARN if there is a conflict?
Otherwise, it looks like the test succeeded.

What makes us not need this preempt_disable() in the RCU case?

Same question for the local_irq_disable()?

It might be possible to simplify the code by turning this #ifdef into
IS_ENABLED().
