Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 0/3] rcu: fixes for lockdep RCU and accelerated dyntick GPs
Date: Fri, 26 Feb 2010 16:38:31 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100227003831.GA27703@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)

Hello!

This patchset includes three fixes for problems in tip/core/rcu:

1.	Convert grace-period acceleration for the last non-dynticked
	RCU to a trivial state machine in order to avoid illegally
	invoking __rcu_process_callbacks() with irqs disabled.

2.	Make the non-PROVE_RCU variant of rcu_read_lock_sched_held()
	understand that preemption is disabled during boot before
	the scheduler starts.  (The earlier patch did the PROVE_RCU
	variant, but missed the non-PROVE_RCU variant.)

3.	Add some irq-disabling to the grace-period acceleration
	in #1 above and also enforce a hold-off period so that the
	last non-dynticked CPU doesn't softirq itself to death when
	there are multiple RCU callbacks in flight.

							Thanx, Paul
