From fd7de1e8d5b2b2b35e71332fafb899f584597150 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andy Lutomirski Date: Sat, 29 Nov 2014 08:13:51 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] sched: Add missing rcu protection to wake_up_all_idle_cpus Locklessly doing is_idle_task(rq->curr) is only okay because of RCU protection. The older variant of the broken code checked rq->curr == rq->idle instead and therefore didn't need RCU.
