[PATCH RFC tip/core/rcu 36/41] rcu: No interrupt disabling for rcu_prepare_for_idle()

From: Paul E. McKenney
Date: Wed Feb 01 2012 - 14:42:39 EST


From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paul.mckenney@xxxxxxxxxx>

The rcu_prepare_for_idle() function is always called with interrupts
disabled, so there is no reason to disable interrupts again within
rcu_prepare_for_idle(). Therefore, this commit removes all of the
interrupt disabling, also removing a latent disabling-unbalance bug.
