From 46103fe01b02169150f16d8d6e028217c5a7abe5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Zqiang Date: Wed, 18 Jan 2023 15:30:14 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] rcu: Remove never-set needwake assignment from rcu_report_qs_rdp() The rcu_accelerate_cbs() function is invoked by rcu_report_qs_rdp() only if there is a grace period in progress that is still blocked by at least one CPU on this rcu_node structure. This means that rcu_accelerate_cbs() should never return the value true, and thus that this function should never set the needwake variable and in turn never invoke rcu_gp_kthread_wake(). This commit therefore removes the needwake variable and the invocation of rcu_gp_kthread_wake() in favor of a WARN_ON_ONCE() on the call to rcu_accelerate_cbs(). The purpose of this new WARN_ON_ONCE() is to detect situations where the system's opinion differs from ours. Signed-off-by: Zqiang Reviewed-by: Frederic Weisbecker Signed-off-by: Paul E.
