McKenney <paulmck@xxxxxxxxxx> CommitterDate: Thu, 20 Feb 2020 15:58:23 -08:00 rculist: Add brackets around cond argument in __list_check_rcu macro Passing a complex lockdep condition to __list_check_rcu results in false positive lockdep splat due to incorrect expression evaluation. For example, a lockdep check condition `cond1 || cond2` is evaluated as `!cond1 || cond2 && !rcu_read_lock_any_held()` which, according to operator precedence, evaluates to `!cond1 || (cond2 && !rcu_read_lock_any_held())`. This would result in a lockdep splat when cond1 is false and cond2 is true which is logically incorrect.
