McKenney" <paulmck@...nel.org> To: torvalds@...ux-foundation.org Cc: mingo@...nel.org, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, tglx@...utronix.de, rcu@...r.kernel.org, kernel-team@...com, rostedt@...dmis.org Subject: [GIT PULL] Keep synchronize_rcu() from enabling irqs in early boot Hello, Linus, This pull request fixes a merge-window regression noted by Steve Rostedt. The following changes since commit 9abf2313adc1ca1b6180c508c25f22f9395cc780: Linux 6.1-rc1 (2022-10-16 15:36:24 -0700) are available in the Git repository at: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulmck/linux-rcu.git tags/rcu-urgent.2022.10.20a for you to fetch changes up to 31d8aaa87fcef1be5932f3813ea369e21bd3b11d: rcu: Keep synchronize_rcu() from enabling irqs in early boot (2022-10-20 15:34:49 -0700) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Urgent RCU pull request for v6.1 This pull request contains a commit that fixes bf95b2bc3e42 ("rcu: Switch polled grace-period APIs to ->gp_seq_polled"), which could incorrectly leave interrupts enabled after an early-boot call to synchronize_rcu(). Such synchronize_rcu() calls must acquire leaf rcu_node locks in order to properly interact with polled grace periods, but the code did not take into account the possibility of synchronize_rcu() being invoked from the portion of the boot sequence during which interrupts are disabled. This commit therefore switches the lock acquisition and release from irq to irqsave/irqrestore. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Paul E.
