Pulled, thanks a lot Paul!
So I've done the conflict resolutions with tmp:smp/hotplug and tip:sched/core
myself, and came up with a mostly identical resolution, except this difference
with your resolution in wagi.2016.03.01a:
--- linux-next/kernel/rcu/tree.c
+++ tip/kernel/rcu/tree.c
@@ -2046,8 +2046,8 @@ static void rcu_gp_cleanup(struct rcu_st
/* smp_mb() provided by prior unlock-lock pair. */
nocb += rcu_future_gp_cleanup(rsp, rnp);
sq = rcu_nocb_gp_get(rnp);
- raw_spin_unlock_irq_rcu_node(rnp);
rcu_nocb_gp_cleanup(sq);
+ raw_spin_unlock_irq_rcu_node(rnp);
cond_resched_rcu_qs();
WRITE_ONCE(rsp->gp_activity, jiffies);
rcu_gp_slow(rsp, gp_cleanup_delay);
but your resolution is better, rcu_nocb_gp_cleanup() can (and should) be done
outside of the rcu_node lock.
So we have the same resolution now, which is good! ;-)
Thanks,
Ingo
