Paul E. McKenney 4369ef3c3e [PATCH] Make RCU task_struct safe for oprofile ... Applying RCU to the task structure broke oprofile, because free_task_notify() can now be called from softirq. This means that the task_mortuary lock must be acquired with irq disabled in order to avoid intermittent self-deadlock. Since irq is now disabled, the critical section within process_task_mortuary() has been restructured to be O(1) in order to maximize scalability and minimize realtime latency degradation. Kudos to Wu Fengguang for finding this problem! CC: Wu Fengguang <wfg@mail.ustc.edu.cn> Cc: Philippe Elie <phil.el@wanadoo.fr> Cc: John Levon <levon@movementarian.org> Signed-off-by: "Paul E.
