[PATCH RFC tip/core/rcu 05/14] rcu/nocb: Avoid synchronous wakeup in __call_rcu_nocb_wake()

From: Paul E. McKenney
Date: Fri Aug 02 2019 - 11:15:47 EST


When callbacks are in full flow, the common case is waiting for a
grace period, and this grace period will normally take a few jiffies to
complete. It therefore isn't all that helpful for __call_rcu_nocb_wake()
to do a synchronous wakeup in this case. This commit therefore turns this
into a timer-based deferred wakeup of the no-CBs grace-period kthread.
