The trace_event benchmark thread runs in kernel space in an infinite loop while also calling cond_resched() in case anything else wants to schedule in. Unfortunately, on a PREEMPT kernel, that makes it a nop, in which case, this will never voluntarily schedule. That will cause synchronize_rcu_tasks() to forever block on this thread, while it is running. This is exactly what cond_resched_rcu_qs() is for. Use that instead. Acked-by: "Paul E.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
