From 62fde6edf12b60fddb13a3f0a779c8be0bb7447e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Paul E. McKenney" Date: Tue, 22 May 2012 22:10:24 -0700 Subject: rcu: Make __call_rcu() handle invocation from idle Although __call_rcu() is handled correctly when called from a momentary non-idle period, if it is called on a CPU that RCU believes to be idle on RCU_FAST_NO_HZ kernels, the callback might be indefinitely postponed. This commit therefore ensures that RCU is aware of the new callback and has a chance to force the CPU out of dyntick-idle mode when a new callback is posted.
