doc: Add another stall-warning root cause in stallwarn.rst
This commit adds a bullet item noting that both deficiencies and surpluses of calls to rcu_*_enter() and rcu_*_exit() can result in RCU CPU stall warnings. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@kernel.org>

- A low-level kernel issue that either fails to invoke one of the
|
||||
variants of rcu_user_enter(), rcu_user_exit(), rcu_idle_enter(),
|

rcu_idle_exit(), rcu_irq_enter(), or rcu_irq_exit() on the one
|

hand, or that invokes one of them too many times on the other.
|
||||
Historically, the most frequent issue has been an omission
|
||||
of either irq_enter() or irq_exit(), which in turn invoke
|
||||
rcu_irq_enter() or rcu_irq_exit(), respectively. Building your
|
||||
kernel with CONFIG_RCU_EQS_DEBUG=y can help track down these types
|
||||
of issues, which sometimes arise in architecture-specific code.

- A bug in the RCU implementation.

- A hardware failure. This is quite unlikely, but has occurred
