Hi Paul
Break nested RCU Tasks Trace read-side critical sections?
Does it mean the following?
rcu_read_unlock_trace
-> WRITE_ONCE(t->trc_reader_nesting, INT_MIN);
/* t->trc_reader_special.s == 0*/
-> if (likely(!READ_ONCE(t->trc_reader_special.s)) || nesting)
-> Interrupt
-> schedule
-> rcu_note_context_switch
-> rcu_tasks_trace_qs
/*___rttq_nesting == INT_MIN && (t)->trc_reader_special.b.blocked == false*/
->rcu_tasks_trace_qs_blkd(t)
/*nesting == 0*/
-> WRITE_ONCE(t->trc_reader_nesting, nesting);
-> return;
.........
exit_tasks_rcu_finish
trigger Warnings
Or where am I misunderstanding?
Thanks
