From c44e2cddacc2cf299186bad5697d738ea19668b7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Paul E. McKenney" Date: Thu, 12 Jan 2012 13:08:18 -0800 Subject: rcu: Check for idle-loop entry while in RCU read-side critical section The inner idle loop is an extended quiescent state for all flavors of RCU, but there have been recent bug involving use of RCU read-side primitives from within the idle loop. Therefore, this commit enlists lockdep-RCU to detect attempts to enter the inner idle loop while in an RCU read-side critical section, emitting a lockdep-RCU splat if so. Signed-off-by: Paul E.
