__free_pages_ok() disables IRQs before calling a common helper free_one_page() that acquires the zone lock. This is not safe according to Documentation/locking/locktypes.rst and in this context, IRQ disabling is not protecting a per_cpu_pages structure either or a local_lock would be used. This patch explicitly acquires the lock with spin_lock_irqsave instead of relying on a helper. This removes the last instance of local_irq_save() in page_alloc.c.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
