From e727c7d7a11e109849582e9165d54b254eb181d7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andy Lutomirski Date: Fri, 3 Jul 2015 12:44:22 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] notifiers, RCU: Assert that RCU is watching in notify_die() Low-level arch entries often call notify_die(), and it's easy for arch code to fail to exit an RCU quiescent state first. Assert that we're not quiescent in notify_die().
