rcu: Keep synchronize_rcu() from enabling irqs in early boot (2022-10-20 15:34:49 -0700)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Urgent RCU pull request for v6.1
This pull request contains a commit that fixes bf95b2bc3e42 ("rcu: Switch
polled grace-period APIs to ->gp_seq_polled"), which could incorrectly
leave interrupts enabled after an early-boot call to synchronize_rcu().
Such synchronize_rcu() calls must acquire leaf rcu_node locks in order to
properly interact with polled grace periods, but the code did not take
into account the possibility of synchronize_rcu() being invoked from
the portion of the boot sequence during which interrupts are disabled.
This commit therefore switches the lock acquisition and release from
irq to irqsave/irqrestore.
