PREEMPT_RCU read-side critical sections blocking an expedited grace period invoke rcu_report_exp_rnp(). When the last such critical section has completed, rcu_report_exp_rnp() invokes the scheduler to wake up the task that invoked synchronize_rcu_expedited() -- needlessly holding the root rcu_node structure's lock while doing so, thus needlessly providing a way for RCU and the scheduler to deadlock. This commit therefore releases the root rcu_node structure's lock before calling wake_up(). Reported-by: Ed Tomlinson <edt@aei.ca> Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
