[PATCH] rcu/nocb: Avoid polling when myrdp->nocb_head_rdp list is empty

From: Zqiang
Date: Mon Jun 06 2022 - 02:52:32 EST


Currently, If the 'rcu_nocb_poll' bootargs is enable, all rcuog kthreads
enter polling mode. however, due to only insert CPU's rdp which belong to
rcu_nocb_mask to 'nocb_head_rdp' list or all CPU's rdp served by rcuog
kthread have been de-offloaded, these cause the 'nocb_head_rdp' list
served by rcuog kthread is empty, when the 'nocb_head_rdp' is empty,
the rcuog kthread in polling mode not actually do anything. fix it by
exiting polling mode when the 'nocb_head_rdp'list is empty, otherwise
entering polling mode.
