From 0742ac3e2f9f4b8a3a394a270d8685078837662b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Paul E. McKenney" Date: Tue, 11 Oct 2016 06:09:59 -0700 Subject: rcu: Make expedited grace periods recheck dyntick idle state Expedited grace periods check dyntick-idle state, and avoid sending IPIs to idle CPUs, including those running guest OSes, and, on NOHZ_FULL kernels, nohz_full CPUs. However, the kernel has been observed checking a CPU while it was non-idle, but sending the IPI after it has gone idle. This commit therefore rechecks idle state immediately before sending the IPI, refraining from IPIing CPUs that have since gone idle. Reported-by: Rik van Riel Signed-off-by: Paul E.
