rcu: make treercu safe for suspend and resume
Impact: fix kernel warnings [and potential crash] during suspend+resume Kudos to both Dhaval Giani and Jens Axboe for finding a bug in treercu that causes warnings after suspend-resume cycles in Dhaval's case and during stress tests in Jens's case. It would also probably cause failures if heavily stressed. The solution, ironically enough, is to revert to rcupreempt's code for initializing the dynticks state. And the patch even results in smaller code -- so what was I thinking??? This is 2.6.29 material, given that people really do suspend and resume Linux these days. ;-) Reported-by: Dhaval Giani <dhaval@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Reported-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com> Tested-by: Dhaval Giani <dhaval@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Tested-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E.
