Subject: [PATCH 06/10] tick/nohz: Only wakeup a single target cpu when kicking a task
Date:   Thu, 13 May 2021 01:29:20 +0200
Message-Id: <20210512232924.150322-7-frederic@kernel.org>

When adding a tick dependency to a task, its necessary to
wakeup the CPU where the task resides to reevaluate tick
dependencies on that CPU.

However the current code wakes up all nohz_full CPUs, which
is unnecessary.

Switch to waking up a single CPU, by using ordering of writes
to task->cpu and task->tick_dep_mask.
