Just hit this on Linus' current tree.

[ INFO: suspicious RCU usage. ]
4.4.0-think+ #1 Tainted: G W
-------------------------------
./arch/x86/include/asm/msr-trace.h:47 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage!

other info that might help us debug this:


RCU used illegally from idle CPU!
rcu_scheduler_active = 1, debug_locks = 0
RCU used illegally from extended quiescent state!
no locks held by swapper/3/0.

Andi, could this be caused by 7f47d8cc039f8746e0038fe05f1ddcb15a2e27f0 ?
