This relies on reading a RCU-protected structure in test_idle_cores() via this call chain task_numa_migrate -> update_numa_stats -> numa_idle_core -> test_idle_cores While the locking could be fine-grained, it is more appropriate to acquire the RCU lock for the entire scan of the domain. This patch removes the warning triggered at boot time. Reported-by: Qian Cai <cai@xxxxxx> Reviewed-by: Paul E.
