urgh. So the RCU warning is introduced in commit
28875945ba98d ("rcu: Add support for consolidated-RCU reader checking")
which was merged in v5.4-rc1. I enabled it around -rc7 and saw a few
warnings including in the workqueue code. I asked about this and posted
later a patch which was applied by Tejun. Now I see that the tip tree
has a patch for this warning…
I would vote for the patch in -tip since it also removes the
assert_rcu_or_wq_mutex() macro.
It would be nice if this could be part of v5.4 since once the RCU
warning is enabled it will yell.
