Subject: [PATCH rcu 05/10] rcu: Make RCU_LOCKDEP_WARN() avoid early lockdep checks
Date: Wed,  4 Jan 2023 16:23:00 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230105002305.1768591-5-paulmck@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230105002257.GA1768487@paulmck-ThinkPad-P17-Gen-1>

Currently, RCU_LOCKDEP_WARN() checks the condition before checking
to see if lockdep is still enabled.  This is necessary to avoid the
false-positive splats fixed by commit 3066820034b5dd ("rcu: Reject
RCU_LOCKDEP_WARN() false positives").  However, the current state can
result in false-positive splats during early boot before lockdep is fully
initialized.  This commit therefore checks debug_lockdep_rcu_enabled()
both before and after checking the condition, thus avoiding both sets
of false-positive error reports.
