[PATCH v3 3/4] rcu: Do not call rcu_nocb_gp_cleanup() while holding rnp->lock

From: Daniel Wagner
Date: Tue Oct 20 2015 - 03:29:11 EST


rcu_nocb_gp_cleanup() is called while holding rnp->lock. Currently,
this is okay because the wake_up_all() in rcu_nocb_gp_cleanup() will
not enable the IRQs. lockdep is happy.

By switching over using swait this is not true anymore. swake_up_all()
enables the IRQs while processing the waiters. __do_softirq() can now
run and will eventually call rcu_process_callbacks() which wants to
grap nrp->lock.

Let's move the rcu_nocb_gp_cleanup() call outside the lock before we
switch over to swait.

If we would hold the rnp->lock and use swait, lockdep reports
following:
