Merge branch 'urgent-for-mingo' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulmck/linux-rcu into core/urgent Pull two RCU fixes from Paul E. McKenney: " - Complete the work of commit dd56af42 (rcu: Eliminate deadlock between CPU hotplug and expedited grace periods), which was intended to allow synchronize_sched_expedited() to be safely used when holding locks acquired by CPU-hotplug notifiers. This commit makes the put_online_cpus() avoid the deadlock instead of just handling the get_online_cpus(). - Complete the work of commit 35ce7f29 (rcu: Create rcuo kthreads only for onlined CPUs), which was intended to allow RCU to avoid allocating unneeded kthreads on systems where the firmware says that there are more CPUs than are really present. This commit makes rcu_barrier() aware of the mismatch, so that it doesn't hang waiting for non-existent CPUs. " Signed-off-by:Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>
