From cba6d0d64ee53772b285d0c0c288deefbeaf7775 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Paul E. McKenney" Date: Mon, 2 Jul 2012 07:08:42 -0700 Subject: Revert "rcu: Move PREEMPT_RCU preemption to switch_to() invocation" This reverts commit 616c310e83b872024271c915c1b9ab505b9efad9. (Move PREEMPT_RCU preemption to switch_to() invocation). Testing by Sasha Levin showed that this can result in deadlock due to invoking the scheduler when one of the runqueue locks is held. Because this commit was simply a performance optimization, revert it. Reported-by: Sasha Levin Signed-off-by: Paul E.
