From 3acd9eb31c5f7eb97cb2009fa41472710fb4a10f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Paul E. McKenney" Date: Mon, 22 Feb 2010 17:05:03 -0800 Subject: rcu: Fix deadlock in TREE_PREEMPT_RCU CPU stall detection 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.
