[RFC PATCH 05/12] rcu: De-offloading GP kthread

From: Frederic Weisbecker
Date: Mon Sep 21 2020 - 08:44:18 EST


In order to de-offload the callbacks processing of an rdp, we must clear
SEGCBLIST_OFFLOAD and notify the GP kthread so that it clears its own
bit flag and ignore the target rdp from its loop. The CB kthread
is also notified the same way. Whoever acknowledges and clears its
own bit last must notify the de-offloading worker so that it can resume
the de-offloading while being sure that callbacks won't be handled
remotely anymore.
