Paul E. McKenney 0864f057b0 rcu: Use irq_work to get scheduler's attention in clean context ... When rcu_read_unlock_special() is invoked with interrupts disabled, is either not in an interrupt handler or is not using RCU_SOFTIRQ, is not the first RCU read-side critical section in the chain, and either there is an expedited grace period in flight or this is a NO_HZ_FULL kernel, the end of the grace period can be unduly delayed. The reason for this is that it is not safe to do wakeups in this situation. This commit fixes this problem by using the irq_work subsystem to force a later interrupt handler in a clean environment. Because set_tsk_need_resched(current) and set_preempt_need_resched() are invoked prior to this, the scheduler will force a context switch upon return from this interrupt (though perhaps at the end of any interrupted preempt-disable or BH-disable region of code), which will invoke rcu_note_context_switch() (again in a clean environment), which will in turn give RCU the chance to report the deferred quiescent state. Of course, by then this task might be within another RCU read-side critical section. But that will be detected at that time and reporting will be further deferred to the outermost rcu_read_unlock(). See rcu_preempt_need_deferred_qs() and rcu_preempt_deferred_qs() for more details on the checking. Suggested-by: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Paul E.
