From 5c51dd7349d4bb26f845f17f85daa168f5fa03f2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Paul E. McKenney" Date: Thu, 4 Aug 2011 06:59:03 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] rcu: Prevent early boot set_need_resched() from __rcu_pending() There isn't a whole lot of point in poking the scheduler before there are other tasks to switch to. This commit therefore adds a check for rcu_scheduler_fully_active in __rcu_pending() to suppress any pre-scheduler calls to set_need_resched(). The downside of this approach is additional runtime overhead in a reasonably hot code path. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney Signed-off-by: Paul E.
