Subject: [PATCH RFC tip/core/rcu 5/6] rcu: Warn when srcu_read_lock() is used in an extended quiescent state
Date: Fri,  8 Jul 2011 08:43:52 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1310139833-20804-5-git-send-email-paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20110708154331.GA20161@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

Catch SRCU up to the other variants of RCU by making PROVE_RCU
complain if either srcu_read_lock() or srcu_read_lock_held() are
used from within dyntick-idle mode.
