I have plans to get rid of the softirq issue and the argument for "bad"
or inefficient rwlocks is usually "get rid of rwlocks then". So…

Then I looked at the patch and it only swapped the flag nothing else and
this hardly works. So I looked at sched_cfs_period_timer():
| static enum hrtimer_restart sched_cfs_period_timer(struct hrtimer *timer)
| {
…
|         raw_spin_lock_irqsave(&cfs_b->lock, flags);
…
|         raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore(&cfs_b->lock, flags);
| 
|         return idle ? HRTIMER_NORESTART : HRTIMER_RESTART;
|}

Judging by this, the whole callback runs already with disabled
interrupts. At least now it enabled interrupts if multiple callbacks are
invoked…
