Could you please also try CONFIG_TREE_RCU?

Color me confused.

>From what I can see, the two values passed in through preempt_offset
are PREEMPT_LOCK_OFFSET and SOFTIRQ_DISABLE_OFFSET. PREEMPT_ACTIVE
is normally a high-order bit, above PREEMPT_MASK, SOFTIRQ_MASK, and
HARDIRQ_MASK.

PREEMPT_LOCK_OFFSET and SOFTIRQ_DISABLE_OFFSET have only low-order bits,
so I don't see how rcu_sleep_check() is passed anything other than zero.
Am I going blind, or what?

Thanx, Paul
