From: Paul E. McKenney Date: Thu, 5 May 2011 04:43:49 +0000 (-0700) Subject: rcu: permit rcu_read_unlock() to be called while holding runqueue locks X-Git-Tag: firefly_0821_release~7613^2~1382^2~43 X-Git-Url: http://plrg.eecs.uci.edu/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=1217ed1ba5c67393293dfb0f03c353b118dadeb4;p=firefly-linux-kernel-4.4.55.git rcu: permit rcu_read_unlock() to be called while holding runqueue locks Avoid calling into the scheduler while holding core RCU locks. This allows rcu_read_unlock() to be called while holding the runqueue locks, but only as long as there was no chance of the RCU read-side critical section having been preempted. (Otherwise, if RCU priority boosting is enabled, rcu_read_unlock() might call into the scheduler in order to unboost itself, which might allows self-deadlock on the runqueue locks within the scheduler.)
