From 1cc85961e214773cb7d7f2ccbe3bc644dd466df0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> Date: Fri, 17 Feb 2012 13:20:31 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] rcu: Stop spurious warnings from synchronize_sched_expedited synchronize_sched_expedited() is spamming CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT=y users with an unintended warning from the cpu_is_offline() check: use raw_smp_processor_id() instead of smp_processor_id() there. Because the warning is under a get_online_cpus(), it is not possible for any CPUs to go offline, though it is quite possible that the task might migrate between the raw_smp_processor_id() and the check of cpu_is_offline(). This is not a problem because the task cannot migrate from an offline CPU to an online one or vice versa. The point of the check is to verify that synchronize_sched_expedited() is not called from an offline CPU, for example, from a CPU_DYING notifier, or, more important, from an outgoing CPU making its way from its CPU_DYING notifiers to the idle loop.
