From aaf2bc50df1f4bfc6857fc601fc7b21d5a18c6a1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Paul E. McKenney" Date: Thu, 21 May 2020 22:05:15 +0200 Subject: rcu: Abstract out rcu_irq_enter_check_tick() from rcu_nmi_enter() There will likely be exception handlers that can sleep, which rules out the usual approach of invoking rcu_nmi_enter() on entry and also rcu_nmi_exit() on all exit paths. However, the alternative approach of just not calling anything can prevent RCU from coaxing quiescent states from nohz_full CPUs that are looping in the kernel: RCU must instead IPI them explicitly. It would be better to enable the scheduler tick on such CPUs to interact with RCU in a lighter-weight manner, and this enabling is one of the things that rcu_nmi_enter() currently does. What is needed is something that helps RCU coax quiescent states while not preventing subsequent sleeps. This commit therefore splits out the nohz_full scheduler-tick enabling from the rest of the rcu_nmi_enter() logic into a new function named rcu_irq_enter_check_tick(). [ tglx: Renamed the function and made it a nop when context tracking is off ] [ mingo: Fixed a CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL assumption, harmonized and fixed all the comment blocks and cleaned up rcu_nmi_enter()/exit() definitions. ] Suggested-by: Andy Lutomirski Signed-off-by: Paul E.
