    Subject[PATCH] lockdep: Fix redundant_hardirqs_on incremented with irqs enabled
    Date
    When a path restore the flags while irqs are already enabled, we
    update the per cpu var redundant_hardirqs_on in a racy fashion
    and debug_atomic_inc() warns about this situation.

    In this particular case, we need to explictly disable the irqs before
    updating this stat var in order to update it safely.
