It's not entirely obvious why rdp->qlen_last_fqs_check is updated before
processing the queue only on offloaded rdp. There can be different
effect to that, either in favour of triggering the force quiescent state
path or not. For example:
1) If the number of callbacks has decreased since the last
rdp->qlen_last_fqs_check update (because we recently called
rcu_do_batch() and we executed below qhimark callbacks) and the number
of processed callbacks on a subsequent do_batch() arranges for
exceeding qhimark on non-offloaded but not on offloaded setup, then we
may spare a later run to the force quiescent state
slow path on __call_rcu_nocb_wake(), as compared to the non-offloaded
counterpart scenario.
Here is such an offloaded scenario instance:
qhimark = 1000
rdp->last_qlen_last_fqs_check = 3000
rcu_segcblist_n_cbs(rdp) = 2000
rcu_do_batch() {
if (offloaded)
rdp->last_qlen_fqs_check = rcu_segcblist_n_cbs(rdp) // 2000
// run 1000 callback
rcu_segcblist_n_cbs(rdp) = 1000
// Not updating rdp->qlen_last_fqs_check
if (count < rdp->qlen_last_fqs_check - qhimark)
rdp->qlen_last_fqs_check = count;
}
call_rcu() * 1001 {
__call_rcu_nocb_wake() {
// not taking the fqs slowpath:
// rcu_segcblist_n_cbs(rdp) == 2001
// rdp->qlen_last_fqs_check == 2000
// qhimark == 1000
if (len > rdp->qlen_last_fqs_check + qhimark)
...
}
In the case of a non-offloaded scenario, rdp->qlen_last_fqs_check
would be 1000 and the fqs slowpath would have executed.
2) If the number of callbacks has increased since the last
rdp->qlen_last_fqs_check update (because we recently queued below
qhimark callbacks) and the number of callbacks executed in rcu_do_batch()
doesn't exceed qhimark for either offloaded or non-offloaded setup,
then it's possible that the offloaded scenario later run the force
quiescent state slow path on __call_rcu_nocb_wake() while the
non-offloaded doesn't.
qhimark = 1000
rdp->last_qlen_last_fqs_check = 3000
rcu_segcblist_n_cbs(rdp) = 2000
rcu_do_batch() {
if (offloaded)
rdp->last_qlen_last_fqs_check = rcu_segcblist_n_cbs(rdp) // 2000
// run 100 callbacks
// concurrent queued 100
rcu_segcblist_n_cbs(rdp) = 2000
// Not updating rdp->qlen_last_fqs_check
if (count < rdp->qlen_last_fqs_check - qhimark)
rdp->qlen_last_fqs_check = count;
}
call_rcu() * 1001 {
__call_rcu_nocb_wake() {
// Taking the fqs slowpath:
// rcu_segcblist_n_cbs(rdp) == 3001
// rdp->qlen_last_fqs_check == 2000
// qhimark == 1000
if (len > rdp->qlen_last_fqs_check + qhimark)
...
}
In the case of a non-offloaded scenario, rdp->qlen_last_fqs_check
would be 3000 and the fqs slowpath would have executed.
The reason for updating rdp->qlen_last_fqs_check when invoking callbacks
for offloaded CPUs is that there is usually no point in waking up either
the rcuog or rcuoc kthreads while in this state. After all, both threads
are prohibited from indefinite sleeps.
The exception is when some huge number of callbacks are enqueued while
rcu_do_batch() is in the midst of invoking, in which case interrupting
the rcuog kthread's timed sleep might get more callbacks set up for the
next grace period.

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.
