Subject: audit: rcu_read_lock() used illegally while idle
Date: Wed, 3 Dec 2014 13:19:22 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20141203181922.GA26916@redhat.com> (raw)

I'm not sure why this only just started complaining, because this code
hasn't changed in years, but I don't recall seeing this before.
This gets spewed during bootup since I put 3.18-rc7 on my firewall.
Previously it was running rc4 where I didn't see this.

Did something in RCU change recently ?

===============================
[ INFO: suspicious RCU usage. ]
3.18.0-rc7+ #93 Not tainted
-------------------------------
include/linux/rcupdate.h:883 rcu_read_lock() used illegally while idle!

other info that might help us debug this:


RCU used illegally from idle CPU!
rcu_scheduler_active = 1, debug_locks = 0
RCU used illegally from extended quiescent state!
1 lock held by systemd-sysctl/557:
 #0:  (rcu_read_lock){......}, at: [<ffffffff890f1320>] audit_filter_type+0x0/0x240
