From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@xxxxxxxxxx> The ->nocb_lock lockdep assertion is currently guarded by cpu_online(), which is incorrect for no-CBs CPUs, whose callback lists must be protected by ->nocb_lock regardless of whether or not the corresponding CPU is online. This situation could result in failure to detect bugs resulting from failing to hold ->nocb_lock for offline CPUs. This commit therefore removes the cpu_online() guard. Signed-off-by: Paul E.
