From 143da9c2fc030a5774674f2ebc2f934fab3dcd9a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Paul E. McKenney" Date: Mon, 19 Jan 2015 19:57:32 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] rcu: Prevent early-boot RCU callbacks from splatting Currently, a call_rcu() that precedes rcu_init() will splat due to the callback lists not having yet been initialized. This commit causes the first such callback to initialize the boot CPU's RCU callback list. Note that this commit does not change rcu_init()-time initialization, which means that the callback will be discarded at rcu_init() time. Fixing this is the job of later commits.
