[PATCH tip/core/rcu 01/14] rcu: Fix attempt to avoid unsolicited offloading of callbacks

From: Paul E. McKenney
Date: Thu Aug 28 2014 - 14:40:13 EST


From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Commit b58cc46c5f6b (rcu: Don't offload callbacks unless specifically
requested) failed to adjust the callback lists of the CPUs that are
known to be no-CBs CPUs only because they are also nohz_full= CPUs.
This failure can result in callbacks that are posted during early boot
getting stranded on nxtlist for CPUs whose no-CBs property becomes
apparent late, and there can also be spurious warnings about offline
CPUs posting callbacks.

This commit fixes these problems by adding an early-boot rcu_init_nohz()
that properly initializes the no-CBs CPUs.

Note that kernels built with CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_ALL=y or with
CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU=n do not exhibit this bug. Neither do kernels
booted without the nohz_full= boot parameter.
