From 1f3e5f51b933cbc25e3da0cdbdac40716df04ddb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Paul E. McKenney" Date: Thu, 3 May 2018 10:35:33 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] rcu: Add RCU-preempt check for waiting on newly onlined CPU RCU should only be waiting on CPUs that were online at the time that the current grace period started. Failure to abide by this rule can result in confusing splats during grace-period cleanup and initialization. This commit therefore adds a check to RCU-preempt's preempted-task queuing that checks for waiting on newly onlined CPUs. Signed-off-by: Paul E.
