    rcu: Keep synchronize_rcu() from enabling irqs in early boot · 31d8aaa8
    Paul E. McKenney authored
    Making polled RCU grace periods account for expedited grace periods
    required acquiring the leaf rcu_node structure's lock during early boot,
    but after rcu_init() was called.  This lock is irq-disabled, but the
    code incorrectly assumes that irqs are always disabled when invoking
    synchronize_rcu().  The exception is early boot before the scheduler has
    started, which means that upon return from synchronize_rcu(), irqs will
    be incorrectly enabled.
    
    This commit fixes this bug by using irqsave/irqrestore locking primitives.
