RT enabled kernels substitute spin/rwlocks with 'sleeping' variants based on rtmutexes. Blocking on such a lock is similar to preemption versus: - I/O scheduling and worker handling, because these functions might block on another substituted lock, or come from a lock contention within these functions. - RCU considers this like a preemption, because the task might be in a read side critical section. Add a separate scheduling point for this, and hand a new scheduling mode argument to __schedule() which allows, along with separate mode masks, to handle this gracefully from within the scheduler, without proliferating that to other subsystems like RCU.
