Subject: [PATCH] rcu: Remove duplicate settings for rcu boost kthreads affinity

Currently, when CPUs going offline, the rcu boost kthreads CPU
affinity has been reset in rcutree_offline_cpu(), therefore this
commit remove duplicate settings in rcutree_dead_cpu().

One question...

Given that rcutree_offline_cpu() causes rcu_boost_kthread_setaffinity()
to be invoked with the number of the outgoing CPU, but rcutree_dead_cpu()
instead passes in -1, are these two invocations really redundant?

Thanx, paul

Although -1 is passed in, but at this time, the outgoing CPU has been removed from
rcu_rnp_online_cpus(rnp), in other words, we will eliminate the same CPU, which is
also we passed in cpu in the rcutree_offline_cpu() before.

I also used " qemu -smp 4 "for a simple test.

As can be seen from the above, we have set the same cpumask twice for the same boost kthreads.

Very good, thank you for checking!

I have queued this as shown below, so please let me know of any issues.

commit 5815245b56229198d5f5d0c48c26d3c0c53ee222

rcu: Remove redundant call to rcu_boost_kthread_setaffinity()

The rcu_boost_kthread_setaffinity() function is invoked at
rcutree_online_cpu() and rcutree_offline_cpu() time, early in the online
timeline and late in the offline timeline, respectively. It is also
invoked from rcutree_dead_cpu(), however, in the absence of userspace
manipulations (for which userspace must take responsibility), this call
is redundant with that from rcutree_offline_cpu(). This redundancy can
be demonstrated by printing out the relevant cpumasks

This commit therefore removes the call to rcu_boost_kthread_setaffinity()
from rcutree_dead_cpu().

rcu: Remove redundant call to rcu_boost_kthread_setaffinity()

The rcu_boost_kthread_setaffinity() function is invoked at
rcutree_online_cpu() and rcutree_offline_cpu() time, early in the online
timeline and late in the offline timeline, respectively. It is also
invoked from rcutree_dead_cpu(), however, in the absence of userspace
manipulations (for which userspace must take responsibility), this call
is redundant with that from rcutree_offline_cpu(). This redundancy can
be demonstrated by printing out the relevant cpumasks

This commit therefore removes the call to rcu_boost_kthread_setaffinity()
from rcutree_dead_cpu().

Thank you! I will apply this on my next rebase.
