Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 01/22] sched: Make non-production PREEMPT cond_resched() help Tasks RCU
Date:   Sun, 22 Apr 2018 19:32:06 -0700
In-Reply-To: <20180423023150.GA21533@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
References: <20180423023150.GA21533@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
Message-Id: <1524450747-22778-1-git-send-email-paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

In CONFIG_PREEMPT=y kernels, cond_resched() is a complete no-op, and
thus cannot help advance Tasks-RCU grace periods.  However, such grace
periods are only an issue in non-production benchmarking runs of the
Linux kernel.  This commit therefore makes cond_resched() invoke
rcu_note_voluntary_context_switch() for kernels implementing Tasks RCU
even in CONFIG_PREEMPT=y kernels.
