[PATCH tip/core/rcu 6/9] rcu: Optimize cond_resched_rcu_qs()

From: Paul E. McKenney
Date: Tue Oct 28 2014 - 18:14:31 EST


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

The current implementation of cond_resched_rcu_qs() can invoke
rcu_note_voluntary_context_switch() twice in the should_resched()
case, once via the call to __schedule() and once directly. However, as
noted by Joe Lawrence in a patch to the team subsystem, cond_resched()
returns an indication as to whether or not the call to __schedule()
actually happened. This commit therefore changes cond_resched_rcu_qs()
so as to invoke rcu_note_voluntary_context_switch() only when __schedule()
was not called.
