From a16b7a693430406dc229ab0c6b154f669a2031c5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Paul E. McKenney" Date: Sat, 26 May 2012 08:56:01 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] rcu: Prevent __call_rcu() from invoking RCU core on offline CPUs The __call_rcu() function will invoke the RCU core, for example, if it detects that the current CPU has too many callbacks. However, this can happen on an offline CPU that is on its way to the idle loop, in which case it is an error to invoke the RCU core, and the excess callbacks will be adopted in any case. This commit therefore adds checks to __call_rcu() for running on an offline CPU, refraining from invoking the RCU core in this case. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney Signed-off-by: Paul E.
