Subject: [PATCH v9 7/8] rcu/tree: Setschedule gp ktread to SCHED_FIFO outside of atomic region
Date: Fri, 19 Jul 2019 15:59:59 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190719140000.31694-8-juri.lelli@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20190719140000.31694-1-juri.lelli@redhat.com>

sched_setscheduler() needs to acquire cpuset_rwsem, but it is currently
called from an invalid (atomic) context by rcu_spawn_gp_kthread().

Fix that by simply moving sched_setscheduler_nocheck() call outside of
the atomic region, as it doesn't actually require to be guarded by
rcu_node lock.
