Hello, Ingo,

Here are three more RCU-lockdep fixes for 2.6.34:

Pulled, thanks Paul!

Jens, is that blk-cgroup fix from Vivek fine to you via this route?

Thanks,

Sure, I did think it was a bit odd to funnel it through that route, but
it's no big deal.

I havent pushed the tree out yet, wanted to wait for your feedback before 
doing anything permanent. You can still apply it to the block tree.

You were Cc:-ed 3 days ago to this patch, when RCU fixes got posted. These are 
basically the leftover PROVE_RCU fix patches that didnt get picked up by 
subsystem trees.

Thanks,

	Ingo

Yes I read it then, and Paul said he'd applied it. So I didn't touch it,
it was trivial enough that the path to the kernel wasn't that big of a
problem. And it didn't cause me any merge issues, so no harm done.

I can easily pull it in since I have a fix or two for .34 left yet, but
if you already have it stashed and ready to submit, lets just leave it
there.

Yeah, please apply it to the block tree (i have just zapped it from my local 
tree), we really want subsystem patches to go via their respective trees. I've 
attached the latest patch below.

Thanks!

Subject: [PATCH] blk-cgroup: Fix RCU correctness warning in cfq_init_queue()

It is necessary to be in an RCU read-side critical section when invoking
css_id(), so this patch adds one to blkiocg_add_blkio_group().  This is
actually a false positive, because this is called at initialization time
and hence always refers to the root cgroup, which cannot go away.
