Please also adjust the comments. Or just take this from the -rcu tree's "dev" branch, which is shown at the end of this email: e0a917e08b9b ("rcu: Permit start_poll_synchronize_rcu*() with interrupts disabled") > --- > kernel/rcu/tree.c | 1 - > 1 file changed, 1 deletion(-) > > diff --git a/kernel/rcu/tree.c b/kernel/rcu/tree.c > index e641cc681901..52f9f0bf1b8e 100644 > --- a/kernel/rcu/tree.c > +++ b/kernel/rcu/tree.c > @@ -4119,7 +4119,6 @@ static void start_poll_synchronize_rcu_common(void) > struct rcu_data *rdp; > struct rcu_node *rnp; > > - lockdep_assert_irqs_enabled(); > local_irq_save(flags); > rdp = this_cpu_ptr(&rcu_data); > rnp = rdp->mynode; > -- > 2.45.2 > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ commit e0a917e08b9b39eee5870738250d0b8b10272dbe Author: Paul E. McKenney <paul...@kernel.org> Date: Fri Aug 16 14:22:48 2024 -0700 rcu: Permit start_poll_synchronize_rcu*() with interrupts disabled The header comment for both start_poll_synchronize_rcu() and start_poll_synchronize_rcu_full() state that interrupts must be enabled when calling these two functions, and there is a lockdep assertion in start_poll_synchronize_rcu_common() enforcing this restriction. However, there is no need for this restrictions, as can be seen in call_rcu(), which does wakeups when interrupts are disabled. This commit therefore removes the lockdep assertion and the comments.
