The second argument of rcu_read_unlock_trace_special() is always zero. When called from exit_tasks_rcu_finish_trace(), it is the constant zero, and rcu_read_unlock_trace_special() doesn't get called from rcu_read_unlock_trace() unless the value of local variable "nesting" is zero because in that case the early return is taken instead. This commit therefore removes the "nesting" argument from the rcu_read_unlock_trace_special() function, substituting the constant zero within that function. This commit also adds a WARN_ON_ONCE() to rcu_read_lock_trace_held() in case non-zeroness some day appears. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@kernel.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
