fcoe_get_paged_crc_eof() relies on the caller having preemption disabled to ensure the per-CPU fcoe_percpu context remains valid throughout the call. This is done by either holding spinlocks (such as bnx2fc_global_lock or qedf_global_lock) or the get_cpu() from fcoe_alloc_paged_crc_eof(). This last one breaks PREEMPT_RT semantics as there can be memory allocation and end up sleeping in atomic contexts. Introduce a local_lock_t to struct fcoe_percpu that will keep the non-RT case the same, mapping to preempt_disable/enable, while RT will use a per-CPU spinlock allowing the region to be preemptible but still maintain CPU locality. The other users of fcoe_percpu are already safe in this regard and do not require local_lock()ing.

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.
