Hello Rezki

The critical migrate_disable/enable() area is not allowed to block, under RT and non RT.  
There is such a description in preempt.h 


* Notes on the implementation.
 *
 * The implementation is particularly tricky since existing code patterns
 * dictate neither migrate_disable() nor migrate_enable() is allowed to block.
 * This means that it cannot use cpus_read_lock() to serialize against hotplug,
 * nor can it easily migrate itself into a pending affinity mask change on
 * migrate_enable().


How about the following changes:

diff --git a/kernel/rcu/tree.c b/kernel/rcu/tree.c
