Slab notices that a function that expects enabled local interrupts is called with disabled local interrupts.

do_tune_cpucache:
the function call smp_call_function(), and that is only permitted with enabled local interrupts. The complain is correct.

Within kmem_cache_create. kmem_cache_create checks for in_interrupt(), thus someone probably does
spin_lock_irqsave();
kmem_cache_create();

Do you have an eata scsi controller?
Ugs.
eata2x_detect():
* spin_lock_irqsave();
* calls port_detect();
* * spin_unlock();
* * scsi_register.
Eata maintainers: Is that necessary?
Why do the interrupts remain disabled across scsi_register?
Is that a bug workaround, or an oversight?
I'd use
spin_unlock_irq();
scsi_register();
spin_lock_irq();
