Subject: [PATCH RFC 1/2] rcu: fix deadlock in TREE_PREEMPT_RCU CPU stall detection
Date: Mon, 22 Feb 2010 17:47:45 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1266889666-3471-1-git-send-email-paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20100223014654.GA3404@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

Under TREE_PREEMPT_RCU, print_other_cpu_stall() invokes
rcu_print_task_stall() with the root rcu_node structure's ->lock held,
and rcu_print_task_stall() acquires that same lock for self-deadlock.
Fix this by removing the lock acquisition from rcu_print_task_stall(),
and making all callers acquire the lock instead.
