Subject: [PATCH v2 rcu/dev 1/2] rcu/tree: Reduce wake up for synchronize_rcu() common case
Date: Fri,  8 Mar 2024 17:44:37 -0500
Message-Id: <20240308224439.281349-1-joel@joelfernandes.org>
Precedence: bulk
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

In the synchronize_rcu() common case, we will have less than
SR_MAX_USERS_WAKE_FROM_GP number of users per GP. Waking up the kworker
is pointless just to free the last injected wait head since at that point,
all the users have already been awakened.

Introduce a new counter to track this and prevent the wakeup in the
common case.
