Ahh, no wonder I didn't find that ;-)

the tail end of finish_lock_switch(), where it does:
raw_spin_unlock_irq(&rq->lock).

It should be called on the return to userspace path when
TIF_NEED_RESCHED is set. It should not be called from non-preemptible
contexts like non-zero preempt_count or IRQ-disabled.
[ with the exception of CONFIG_PREEMPT which calls preempt_schedule()
which checks both those things ]

I'm having trouble understanding: on but masked.

generic code isn't supposed to call schedule() with IRQs disabled (and
doesn't afaik)
