#1729730 — [PATCH 3.16 173/233] rcu: Move preemption disabling out of __srcu_read_lock()

3.16.48-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

commit 49f5903b473c5f63f3b57856d1bd4593db0a2eef upstream.

Currently, __srcu_read_lock() cannot be invoked from restricted
environments because it contains calls to preempt_disable() and
preempt_enable(), both of which can invoke lockdep, which is a bad
idea in some restricted execution modes.  This commit therefore moves
the preempt_disable() and preempt_enable() from __srcu_read_lock()
to srcu_read_lock().  It also inserts the preempt_disable() and
preempt_enable() around the call to __srcu_read_lock() in do_exit().

[bwh: Backported to 3.16:
 - Drop changes in do_exit()
 - Adjust context]
