Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 18/21] rcu: The rcu_gp_cleanup() function does not need cpu_needs_another_gp()
Date:   Sun, 22 Apr 2018 20:03:41 -0700
In-Reply-To: <20180423030258.GA23370@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
References: <20180423030258.GA23370@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

All of the cpu_needs_another_gp() function's checks (except for
newly arrived callbacks) have been subsumed into the rcu_gp_cleanup()
function's scan of the rcu_node tree.  This commit therefore drops the
call to cpu_needs_another_gp().  The check for newly arrived callbacks
is supplied by rcu_accelerate_cbs().  Any needed advancing (as in the
earlier rcu_advance_cbs() call) will be supplied when the corresponding
CPU becomes aware of the end of the now-completed grace period.
