From 26d950a9451336a6b5abc1c8ca6c21df58e8d89f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Paul E. McKenney" Date: Sat, 21 Apr 2018 20:44:11 -0700 Subject: rcu: Diagnostics for grace-period startup hangs This commit causes a splat if RCU is idle and a request for a new grace period is ignored for more than one second. This splat normally indicates that some code path asked for a new grace period, but failed to wake up the RCU grace-period kthread. Signed-off-by: Paul E.
