From: Philipp Schrader <philipp@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> With PREEMPT_RT and most of the lockdep-related options enabled I encountered this splat when booting our DRA7 evaluation module: [ 0.055073] [ 0.055076] =============================== [ 0.055079] [ INFO: suspicious RCU usage. ] [ 0.055084] 4.1.6+ #2 Not tainted [ 0.055086] ------------------------------- [ 0.055090] include/trace/events/hist.h:31 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage!
