Subject: [PATCH v2] rcu: Add nocb_cb_kthread check to rcu_is_callbacks_kthread()

At present, there are two situations which the rcu callback function
be exectued in the kthreads, one is if the use_softirq is set to zero,
the RCU_SOFTIRQ processing is carried out by the per-CPU rcuc kthreads,
for non-offload rdp, the rdp's rcu callback function be exectued in rcuc
kthreads. another one is if the rdp is set to offloaded, the rdp's rcu
callback function be exectued in the rcuop kthreads.

Good catch!

From what I can see, this affects only tracing. Or did I miss a
use case?

Also, should the two definitions of rcu_is_callbacks_kthread() be merged?
It looks like the current situation dates back to when the only time
rcuc kthreads were created was in kernels built with CONFIG_RCU_BOOST=y.
If so, the definition of this function should move from tree_plugin.h
to tree.c.

Thanx, Paul

The problem here is that the first part of that condition is duplicated.
This is an accident waiting to happen when someone fixes one side of that
#ifdef without also adjusting the other side. One approach is to define a
function that tests "nocb_cb_kthread == current" in CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU=y
kernels and just returns "false" otherwise.

Alternatively, you could make ->nocb_cb_kthread defined unconditionally,
but left always NULL in CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU=n kernels.

Yes it is affects tracing, it was add make tracing info more accurate.

Yes it should not depend on CONFIG_RCU_BOOST option.
