From b4270ee356e5ecef5394ab80c0a0301c1676b7f0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Paul E. McKenney" Date: Tue, 31 Jul 2012 10:12:48 -0700 Subject: rcu: Permit RCU_NONIDLE() to be used from interrupt context There is a need to use RCU from interrupt context, but either before rcu_irq_enter() is called or after rcu_irq_exit() is called. If the interrupt occurs from idle, then lockdep-RCU will complain about such uses, as they appear to be illegal uses of RCU from the idle loop. In other environments, RCU_NONIDLE() could be used to properly protect the use of RCU, but RCU_NONIDLE() currently cannot be invoked except from process context. This commit therefore modifies RCU_NONIDLE() to permit its use more globally. Reported-by: Steven Rostedt Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney Signed-off-by: Paul E.
