[PATCH 1/4] rcu: Don't check irq nesting from rcu idle entry/exit

From: Frederic Weisbecker
Date: Mon Nov 28 2011 - 16:25:25 EST


rcu_idle_enter() and rcu_idle_exit() don't need to check
the irq nesting as they are not called from irq.

Only check dyntick_nesting from rcu_irq_enter() and
rcu_irq_exit().
