[PATCH tip/core/rcu 10/16] rcu: Provide better diagnostics for blocking in RCU callback functions

From: Paul E. McKenney
Date: Fri Nov 15 2013 - 19:25:56 EST


From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Currently blocking in an RCU callback function will result in
"scheduling while atomic", which could be triggered for any number
of reasons. To aid debugging, this patch introduces a rcu_callback_map
that is used to tie the inappropriate voluntary context switch back
to the fact that the function is being invoked from within a callback.
