[PATCH 12/32] rcu: Restart tick if we enqueue a callback in a nohz/cpuset CPU

From: Steven Rostedt
Date: Mon Oct 29 2012 - 16:49:44 EST


From: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@xxxxxxxxx>

If we enqueue an rcu callback, we need the CPU tick to stay
alive until we take care of those by completing the appropriate
grace period.

Thus, when we call_rcu(), send a self IPI that checks rcu_needs_cpu()
so that we restore a periodic tick behaviour that can take care of
everything.
