rcu: Disable preemption in rcu_is_cpu_idle()
Because rcu_is_cpu_idle() is to be used to check for extended quiescent states in RCU-preempt read-side critical sections, it cannot assume that preemption is disabled. And preemption must be disabled when accessing the dyntick-idle state, because otherwise the following sequence of events could occur: 1. Task A on CPU 1 enters rcu_is_cpu_idle() and picks up the pointer to CPU 1's per-CPU variables. 2. Task B preempts Task A and starts running on CPU 1. 3. Task A migrates to CPU 2. 4. Task B blocks, leaving CPU 1 idle. 5. Task A continues execution on CPU 2, accessing CPU 1's dyntick-idle information using the pointer fetched in step 1 above, and finds that CPU 1 is idle. 6. Task A therefore incorrectly concludes that it is executing in an extended quiescent state, possibly issuing a spurious splat. Therefore, this commit disables preemption within the rcu_is_cpu_idle() function. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Reviewed-by: Josh Triplett <josh@joshtriplett.org>
