Subject: rcu: RCU_FAST_NO_HZ must check RCU dyntick state
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.35-rc1~524^2~4
X-Git-Url: https://asedeno.scripts.mit.edu/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=77e38ed347162423c6b72e06c865a121081c2bb6;p=linux.git

rcu: RCU_FAST_NO_HZ must check RCU dyntick state

The current version of RCU_FAST_NO_HZ reproduces the old CLASSIC_RCU
dyntick-idle bug, as it fails to detect CPUs that have interrupted
or NMIed out of dyntick-idle mode.  Fix this by making rcu_needs_cpu()
check the state in the per-CPU rcu_dynticks variables, thus correctly
detecting the dyntick-idle state from an RCU perspective.
