Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 09/21] rcu: Make rcu_migrate_callbacks wake GP kthread when needed
Date:   Sun, 22 Apr 2018 20:03:32 -0700
In-Reply-To: <20180423030258.GA23370@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
References: <20180423030258.GA23370@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
Message-Id: <1524452624-27589-9-git-send-email-paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

The rcu_migrate_callbacks() function invokes rcu_advance_cbs()
twice, ignoring the return value.  This is OK at pressent because of
failsafe code that does the wakeup when needed.  However, this failsafe
code acquires the root rcu_node structure's lock frequently, while
rcu_migrate_callbacks() does so only once per CPU-offline operation.

This commit therefore makes rcu_migrate_callbacks()
wake up the RCU GP kthread when either call to rcu_advance_cbs()
returns true, thus removing need for the failsafe code.
