Subject: [GIT PULL rcu/urgent] Fix two more 4.3 regressions
Date: Sat, 26 Sep 2015 21:19:30 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20150927041930.GA32426@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
Hello, Ingo,
This series contains two small fixes for regressions introduced during
the past merge window:
1. Recent versions of gcc are fatally confused by use of a const
int variable for array bounds in inline functions, one of which
was introduced by 114b7fd4b (rcu: Create rcu_sync infrastructure).
For more information on the gcc bug, see:
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=67055#c13
This workaround for that gcc bug, courtesy of Oleg Nesterov,
simply substitutes the constant expression for the two uses of
the const int variable.
2. Commit 2cd6ffafec06 (rcu: Extend expedited funnel locking
to rcu_data structure) extended contention-reducing
funnel locking from the rcu_node structures to the rcu_data
structures, but failed to create a separate lock class for the
rcu_sched_data structures, which is needed due to the fact that
synchronize_rcu_expedited() invokes synchronize_sched_expedited().
In the absence of this separate lock class, lockdep can give
false-positive splats. This commit therefore creates the
required lock class so that lockdep can see that there is in
fact no deadlock.
Both fixes have been exposed to -next and 0day Test Robot testing.
