why this is showing as under tree_stall.h while it is under
"kernel/rcu/tree.c"

It's moved in https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulmck/linux-rcu.git/commit/?h=dev&id=10462d6f58fb6dbde7563e9343505d98d5bfba3d

Please see linux-rcu dev tree for other changes, which moves code to
this file.


Thanks
Neeraj

Looks good as it will balance the lock .if it is the root_node,
which was not there earlier, and unlock was happening without any
lock on root.

Applied, again thank you both!

In both cases, I updated the commit log, so please check to make sure
that I didn't mess anything up.

Thanx, Paul


Thanks Paul. One minor comment on https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulmck/linux-rcu.git/commit/?h=dev&id=ec6530e763046b6bb1f4c2c2aed49ebc68aae2a0

"it clearly does not make sense to release
both rnp->lock and rnp->lock"

should be rnp->lock and rnp_root->lock



Thanks
Neeraj

Cheers,
