From 5871968d531f39c23a8e6c69525bb705bca52e04 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Paul E. McKenney" Date: Tue, 24 Feb 2015 11:05:36 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] rcu: Tighten up affinity and check for sysidle If the RCU grace-period kthread invoking rcu_sysidle_check_cpu() happens to be running on the tick_do_timer_cpu initially, then rcu_bind_gp_kthread() won't bind it. This kthread might then migrate before invoking rcu_gp_fqs(), which will trigger the WARN_ON_ONCE() in rcu_sysidle_check_cpu(). This commit therefore makes rcu_bind_gp_kthread() do the binding even if the kthread is currently on the same CPU. Because this incurs added overhead, this commit also causes each RCU grace-period kthread to invoke rcu_bind_gp_kthread() once at boot rather than at the beginning of each grace period. And as long as rcu_bind_gp_kthread() is being modified, this commit eliminates its #ifdef. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney --- Reading git-format-patch failed
