From: "Steven Rostedt (Red Hat)" When taking a CPU down for suspend and resume, a tracepoint may be called when the CPU has been designated offline. As tracepoints require RCU for protection, they must not be called if the current CPU is offline. Unfortunately, trace_tlb_flush() is called in this scenario as was noted by LOCKDEP: ...

By converting the tlb_flush tracepoint to a TRACE_EVENT_CONDITION where the condition is cpu_online(smp_processor_id()), we can avoid calling RCU protected code when the CPU is offline.
