Subject: [PATCH RFC] rcu: RCU CPU stall patches backported to 2.6.33-rc8
Date: Mon, 22 Feb 2010 17:46:54 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100223014654.GA3404@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)

Hello!

This set backports a couple of RCU CPU stall detection patches from the
earlier series (http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/2/22/384) to 2.6.33-rc8 to
help track down some NMI issues.

These two patches fix an embarrassing deadlock that can affect
TREE_PREEMPT_RCU and add additional per-task output when tasks stall the
RCU grace period.
