    rcu: Add warning for RCU_FAST_NO_HZ timer firing · 79b9a75f
    Paul E. McKenney authored
    RCU_FAST_NO_HZ uses a timer to limit the time that a CPU with callbacks
    can remain in dyntick-idle mode.  This timer is cancelled when the CPU
    exits idle, and therefore should never fire.  However, if the timer
    were migrated to some other CPU for whatever reason (1) the timer could
    actually fire and (2) firing on some other CPU would fail to wake up the
    CPU with callbacks, possibly resulting in sluggishness or a system hang.
    
    This commit therfore adds a WARN_ON_ONCE() to the timer handler in order
    to detect this condition.
