From 1eb521210a8c9823038abe4ddfe8c69e713ec17d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Shaohua Li Date: Thu, 16 Jun 2011 16:02:54 -0700 Subject: rcu: Avoid unnecessary self-wakeup of per-CPU kthreads There are a number of cases where the RCU can find additional work for the per-CPU kthread within the context of that per-CPU kthread. In such cases, the per-CPU kthread is already running, so attempting to wake itself up does nothing except waste CPU cycles. This commit therefore checks to see if it is in the per-CPU kthread context, omitting the wakeup in this case. Signed-off-by: Shaohua Li Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney Signed-off-by: Paul E.
