The barrier_mutex is used currently to protect (de-)offloading operations and prevent from nocb_lock locking imbalance in rcu_barrier() and shrinker, and also from misordered RCU barrier invocation. Now since RCU (de-)offloading is going to happen on offline CPUs, an RCU barrier will have to be executed while transitionning from offloaded to de-offloaded state. And this can't happen while holding the barrier_mutex. Introduce a NOCB mutex to protect (de-)offloading transitions. The barrier_mutex is still held for now when necessary to avoid barrier callbacks reordering and nocb_lock imbalance. Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <frederic@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Paul E.
