Subject: [PATCH] RCU: Adjust comments for force_qs_rnp
Date:   Wed, 20 Mar 2019 03:33:00 +0000
Message-Id: <1553052780-3789-1-git-send-email-zhouzhouyi@gmail.com>
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

Previously, threads blocked on offlining CPUS are migrated to root
rcu_node, so there is a need to initiate RCU priority boosting on root
rcu_node,

Current RCU does not migrate blocked tasks even if all corresponding CPUs
offline. 
commit d19fb8d1f3f6 ("rcu: Don't migrate blocked tasks even if all corresponding CPUs offline")'

Consequently, rcu does not initiate RCU priority boosting on root rcu_node.
commit 1be0085b515e ("rcu: Don't initiate RCU priority boosting on root rcu_node")'

So I think the comments for force_qs_rnp should be adjusted.
