Subject: [PATCH 5/7] x86: Enter rcu extended qs after idle notifier call
Date: Mon, 26 Sep 2011 12:19:10 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1317032352-25571-6-git-send-email-fweisbec@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1317032352-25571-1-git-send-email-fweisbec@gmail.com>
The idle notifier, called by enter_idle(), enters into rcu read
side critical section but at that time we already switched into
rcu dynticks idle mode. And it's illegal to use rcu_read_lock()
in that state.
This results in rcu reporting its bad mood:

Fix this by entering rcu extended quiescent state later, just before
the CPU goes to sleep.
