From 05ef9e9eb3dade21413680f41eb0170778e8ae2b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Joel Fernandes (Google)" Date: Thu, 15 Aug 2019 22:59:14 -0400 Subject: rcu: Ensure that ->rcu_urgent_qs is set before resched IPI The RCU-specific resched_cpu() function sends a resched IPI to the specified CPU, which can be used to force the tick on for a given nohz_full CPU. This is needed when this nohz_full CPU is looping in the kernel while blocking the current grace period. However, for the tick to actually be forced on in all cases, that CPU's rcu_data structure's ->rcu_urgent_qs flag must be set beforehand. This commit therefore causes rcu_implicit_dynticks_qs() to set this flag prior to invoking resched_cpu() on a holdout nohz_full CPU. Signed-off-by: Joel Fernandes (Google) Signed-off-by: Paul E.
