Currently, rcu_report_dead() disables preemption across its call to rcu_report_exp_rdp(), but this is pointless because interrupts are already disabled by the caller. In addition, rcu_report_dead() computes the address of the outgoing CPU's rcu_data structure, which is also pointless because this address is already present in local variable rdp. This commit therefore drops the preemption disabling and passes rdp to rcu_report_exp_rdp(). Signed-off-by: Paul E.
