Subject[PATCH tip/core/rcu 2/4] Add debug checks to TREE_PREEMPT_RCU for premature grace periods.
Date
From: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

Check to make sure that there are no blocked tasks for the previous
grace period while initializing for the next grace period, verify
that rcu_preempt_qs() is given the correct CPU number and is never
called for an offline CPU.
