From 260e1e4fd826a8e47c8976efba6a54d62b4a57de Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Paul E. McKenney" Date: Thu, 29 Nov 2018 13:28:49 -0800 Subject: rcu: Discard separate per-CPU callback counts Back when there were multiple flavors of RCU, it was necessary to separately count lazy and non-lazy callbacks for each CPU. These counts were used in CONFIG_RCU_FAST_NO_HZ kernels to determine how long a newly idle CPU should be allowed to sleep before handling its RCU callbacks. But now that there is only one flavor, the callback counts for a given CPU's sole rcu_data structure are the counts for that CPU. This commit therefore removes the rcu_data structure's ->nonlazy_posted and ->nonlazy_posted_snap fields, the rcu_idle_count_callbacks_posted() and rcu_cpu_has_callbacks() functions, repurposes the rcu_data structure's ->all_lazy field to record the laziness state at the beginning of the latest idle sojourn, and modifies CONFIG_RCU_FAST_NO_HZ RCU CPU stall warnings accordingly.
