+Subject: rcu: Allow for page faults in NMI handlers
+
+From: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
+
+commit 28585a832602747cbfa88ad8934013177a3aae38 upstream.
+
+A number of architecture invoke rcu_irq_enter() on exception entry in
+order to allow RCU read-side critical sections in the exception handler
+when the exception is from an idle or nohz_full CPU.  This works, at
+least unless the exception happens in an NMI handler.  In that case,
+rcu_nmi_enter() would already have exited the extended quiescent state,
+which would mean that rcu_irq_enter() would (incorrectly) cause RCU
+to think that it is again in an extended quiescent state.  This will
+in turn result in lockdep splats in response to later RCU read-side
+critical sections.
+
+This commit therefore causes rcu_irq_enter() and rcu_irq_exit() to
+take no action if there is an rcu_nmi_enter() in effect, thus avoiding
+the unscheduled return to RCU quiescent state.  This in turn should
+make the kernel safe for on-demand RCU voyeurism.
