From: Alexander Gordeev Date: Wed, 3 Jun 2015 06:18:23 +0000 (+0200) Subject: rcu: Panic if RCU tree can not accommodate all CPUs X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=75cf15a4c0dd57f5d230bd30c2d41bd8e06ae5a9;p=linux-beck.git rcu: Panic if RCU tree can not accommodate all CPUs Currently a condition when RCU tree is unable to accommodate the configured number of CPUs is not permitted and causes a fall back to compile-time values. However, the code has no means to exceed the RCU tree capacity neither at compile-time nor in run-time. Therefore, if the condition is met in run- time then it indicates a serios problem elsewhere and should be handled with a panic. Cc: "Paul E.
