From 46a1e34eda805501a8b32f26394faa435149f6d1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Paul E. McKenney" Date: Mon, 4 Jan 2010 15:09:09 -0800 Subject: rcu: Make force_quiescent_state() start grace period if needed Grace periods cannot be started while force_quiescent_state() is active. This is OK in that the affected CPUs will try again later, but it does induce needless grace-period delays. This patch causes rcu_start_gp() to record a failed attempt to start a grace period. When force_quiescent_state() prepares to return, it then starts the grace period if there was such a failed attempt. Signed-off-by: Paul E.
