Linus Torvalds 3cb9871f81 Urgent RCU pull request for v6.8
This commit fixes RCU grace period stalls, which are observed when
 an outgoing CPU's quiescent state reporting results in wakeup of
 one of the grace period kthreads, to complete the grace period. If
 those kthreads have SCHED_FIFO policy, the wake up can indirectly
 arm the RT bandwith timer to the local offline CPU. Earlier migration
 of the hrtimers from the CPU introduced in commit 5c0930ccaa
 ("hrtimers: Push pending hrtimers away from outgoing CPU earlier")
 results in this timer getting ignored. If the RCU grace period
 kthreads are waiting for RT bandwidth to be available, they may
 never be actually scheduled, resulting in RCU stall warnings.

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.
