rcu: Update lockdep while in RCU read-side critical section
With Ankur's lazy-/auto-preemption patches applied and with a
lazy-preemptible kernel in combination with a non-preemptible RCU,
lockdep sometimes complains about context switches within RCU read-side
critical sections. This is a false positive due to rcu_read_unlock()
updating lockdep state too late:
__release(RCU);
__rcu_read_unlock();
// Context switch here results in lockdep false positive!!!
rcu_lock_release(&rcu_lock_map); /* Keep acq info for rls diags. */
Although this complaint could also happen with preemptible RCU
in a preemptible kernel, the odds of that happening aer quite low.
In constrast, with non-preemptible RCU, a long critical section has a
high probability of performing a context switch from the preempt_enable()
in __rcu_read_unlock().
The fix is straightforward, just move the rcu_lock_release()
within rcu_read_unlock() to obtain the reverse order from that of
rcu_read_lock():
rcu_lock_release(&rcu_lock_map); /* Keep acq info for rls diags. */
__release(RCU);
__rcu_read_unlock();
This commit makes this change.
