Subject: Lockdep complains about commit 1331e7a1bb ("rcu: Remove _rcu_barrier()
 dependency on __stop_machine()") 

Hi,

this commit:

==
1331e7a1bbe1f11b19c4327ba0853bee2a606543 is the first bad commit
commit 1331e7a1bbe1f11b19c4327ba0853bee2a606543

    rcu: Remove _rcu_barrier() dependency on __stop_machine()
    
    Currently, _rcu_barrier() relies on preempt_disable() to prevent
    any CPU from going offline, which in turn depends on CPU hotplug's
    use of __stop_machine().
    
    This patch therefore makes _rcu_barrier() use get_online_cpus() to
    block CPU-hotplug operations.  This has the added benefit of removing
    the need for _rcu_barrier() to adopt callbacks:  Because CPU-hotplug
    operations are excluded, there can be no callbacks to adopt.  This
    commit simplifies the code accordingly.

is causing lockdep to complain (see the full trace below). I haven't yet 
had time to analyze what exactly is happening, and probably will not have 
time to do so until tomorrow, so just sending this as a heads-up in case 
anyone sees the culprit immediately.
