[PATCH v2] rcu: Make defer_qs_iw as hard irq-work under RT kernel with strict grace period configuration

From: Zqiang
Date: Sun Apr 03 2022 - 20:01:20 EST


When the CONFIG_RCU_STRICT_GRACE_PERIOD is enabled, on non-PREEMPT_RT
kernel, the init_irq_work() make the defer_qs_iw irq-work execute in
interrupt context. however, on PREEMPT_RT kernel, the init_irq_work()
make defer_qs_iq irq-work execute in rt-fifo irq_work kthreads. when
system booting, there are a lot of defer_qs_iw irq-work to be processed
in rt-fifo irq_work kthreads, it occupies boot CPU for long time and
cause other kthread cannot get the boot CPU, the boot process occurs
hang. use IRQ_WORK_INIT_HARD() to initialize defer_qs_iw irq-work, can
ensure the defer_qs_iw irq-work execute in interrupt context, under
PREEMPT_RT kernel with the CONFIG_RCU_STRICT_GRACE_PERIOD is enabled.

v1->v2:
Use IRQ_WORK_INIT_HARD initialize defer_qs_iw only under RT kernel
with CONFIG_RCU_STRICT_GRACE_PERIOD is enabled.
