Message:

Make slab_mag_cache_t's spinlock IRQ safe.

  • slab_cache_destroy() was taking this lock while interrupts were not disabled.
  • Some TLB shootdown sequences could allocate memory, which may involve taking the lock.
  • The above could lead to a deadlock if one CPU took the lock and another one started the TLB shootdown sequence which also takes this lock.
