[GIT PULL rcu/urgent] Allow SRCU readers in irq handlers for KVM

Show all headers | View raw

Hello, Ingo,

This series enables srcu_read_lock() and srcu_read_unlock to be used from
interrupt handlers, which fixes a bug in KVM's use of SRCU in delivery
of interrupts to guest OSes.  These patches have been exposed to 0day
Test Robot and to -next testing, have been tested by the KVM folks,
and were posted to LKML:

http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170605220919.GA27820@linux.vnet.ibm.com

These changes, based on v4.2-rc4, are available in the git repository at:
