In theory, a timer is used to defer wakeups of no-CBs grace-period kthreads when the wakeup cannot be done safely directly from the call_rcu(). In practice, the one-jiffy delay is not always consistent with timely callback invocation under heavy call_rcu() loads. Therefore, there are a number of checks for a pending deferred wakeup, including from the scheduling-clock interrupt. Unfortunately, this check follows the rcu_nohz_full_cpu() early exit, which renders it useless on such CPUs. This commit therefore moves the check for the pending deferred no-CB wakeup to precede the rcu_nohz_full_cpu() early exit. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.ibm.com> |

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
