[PATCH] rcu: change _wait_rcu_gp() to work around gcc 67055 bug

From: Oleg Nesterov
Date: Tue Aug 25 2015 - 14:47:53 EST


The code like

const int n = const-expr;
whatever_t array[n];

in inline function can confuse gcc, see

https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=67055#c13

This leads to

In file included from include/linux/rcupdate.h:429:0,
from include/linux/rcusync.h:5,
from kernel/rcu/sync.c:1:
include/linux/rcutiny.h: In function 'rcu_barrier_sched':
include/linux/rcutiny.h:55:20: internal compiler error: Segmentation
fault
static inline void rcu_barrier_sched(void)

build failure after ec90a194a "rcu: Create a synchronize_rcu_mult()"
and 114b7fd4b "rcu: Create rcu_sync infrastructure" meet each other.
