From 0d8ee37e2fcb7b77b9c5dee784beca5a215cad4c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Paul E. McKenney" Date: Fri, 3 Aug 2012 13:16:15 -0700 Subject: rcu: Disallow callback registry on offline CPUs Posting a callback after the CPU_DEAD notifier effectively leaks that callback unless/until that CPU comes back online. Silence is unhelpful when attempting to track down such leaks, so this commit emits a WARN_ON_ONCE() and unconditionally leaks the callback when an offline CPU attempts to register a callback. The rdp->nxttail[RCU_NEXT_TAIL] is set to NULL in the CPU_DEAD notifier and restored in the CPU_UP_PREPARE notifier, allowing _call_rcu() to determine exactly when posting callbacks is illegal.
