Anyway, you bring up a good point. I should have this: diff --git a/kernel/trace/ftrace.c b/kernel/trace/ftrace.c index 84f32dbc7be8..2d76eaaad4a7 100644 --- a/kernel/trace/ftrace.c +++ b/kernel/trace/ftrace.c @@ -6993,16 +6993,14 @@ static void ftrace_ops_assist_func(unsigned long ip, unsigned long parent_ip, { int bit; - if ((op->flags & FTRACE_OPS_FL_RCU) && !rcu_is_watching()) - return; - bit = trace_test_and_set_recursion(TRACE_LIST_START, TRACE_LIST_MAX); if (bit < 0) return; preempt_disable_notrace(); - op->func(ip, parent_ip, op, regs); + if (!(op->flags & FTRACE_OPS_FL_RCU) || rcu_is_watching()) + op->func(ip, parent_ip, op, regs); preempt_enable_notrace(); trace_clear_recursion(bit); -- Steve
