From 90a340ed53f0f3bcc3fdf1b2cff56c0e4e911d01 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Frederic Weisbecker Date: Wed, 11 Jul 2012 20:26:36 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] rcu: Exit RCU extended QS on kernel preemption after irq/exception When an exception or an irq exits, and we are going to resume into interrupted kernel code, the low level architecture code calls preempt_schedule_irq() if there is a need to reschedule. If the interrupt/exception occured between a call to rcu_user_enter() (from syscall exit, exception exit, do_notify_resume exit, ...) and a real resume to userspace (iret,...), preempt_schedule_irq() can be called whereas RCU thinks we are in userspace. But preempt_schedule_irq() is going to run kernel code and may be some RCU read side critical section. We must exit the userspace extended quiescent state before we call it. To solve this, just call rcu_user_exit() in the beginning of preempt_schedule_irq().
