[RFC PATCH 10/12] rcu: Process batch locally as long as offloading isn't complete

From: Frederic Weisbecker
Date: Mon Sep 21 2020 - 08:44:28 EST


During the offloading or de-offloading process, make sure to process
the callbacks batch locally whenever the segcblist isn't entirely
offloaded. This enforces callback service processing while we are still
in intermediate (de-)offloading state.

FIXME: Note that __call_rcu_core() isn't called during these intermediate
states. Some pieces there may still be necessary.
