Re: [PATCH v2 rcu 0/8] NMI-safe SRCU reader API

[John Ogness]

Hi Paul,

I am running some tests using srcunmisafe.2022.10.21a and I am hitting
the WARN_ONCE in srcu_check_nmi_safety():

[    1.945054][   T12] Callback from call_rcu_tasks_rude() invoked.

My code is calling srcu_read_lock_nmisafe() from task context, in a
dedicated kthread. I am using DEFINE_STATIC_SRCU() to define/initialize
the srcu struct.

What does the warning imply?
