If another lockdep report runs concurrently with an RCU lockdep report from RCU_LOCKDEP_WARN(), the following sequence of events can occur: 1. debug_lockdep_rcu_enabled() sees that lockdep is enabled when called from (say) synchronize_rcu(). 2. Lockdep is disabled by a concurrent lockdep report. 3. debug_lockdep_rcu_enabled() evaluates its lockdep-expression argument, for example, lock_is_held(&rcu_bh_lock_map). 4. Because lockdep is now disabled, lock_is_held() plays it safe and returns the constant 1. 5. But in this case, the constant 1 is not safe, because invoking synchronize_rcu() under rcu_read_lock_bh() is disallowed. 6. debug_lockdep_rcu_enabled() wrongly invokes lockdep_rcu_suspicious(), resulting in a false-positive splat. This commit therefore changes RCU_LOCKDEP_WARN() to check debug_lockdep_rcu_enabled() after checking the lockdep expression, so that any "safe" returns from lock_is_held() are rejected by debug_lockdep_rcu_enabled(). This requires memory ordering, which is supplied by READ_ONCE(debug_locks). The resulting volatile accesses prevent the compiler from reordering and the fact that only one variable is being accessed prevents the underlying hardware from reordering. The combination works for IA64, which can reorder reads to the same location, but this is defeated by the volatile accesses, which compile to load instructions that provide ordering.

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.
