From 1772947bd0126661866069157e95197e9c0020e9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Paul E. McKenney" Date: Tue, 12 Aug 2014 11:27:31 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] rcu: Handle NOCB callbacks from irq-disabled idle code If an RCU callback is queued on a no-CBs CPU from idle code with irqs disabled, and if that CPU stays idle forever after, the callback will never be invoked. This commit therefore adds a check for this situation in ____call_rcu_nocb(), invoking the RCU core solely for the purpose of the ensuing return-to-idle transition. (If the CPU doesn't return to idle, the next scheduling-clock interrupt will fix things up.) Reported-by: Amit Shah Signed-off-by: Paul E.
