[PATCH] rcu-tasks: Directly invoke rcuwait_wake_up() in call_rcu_tasks_generic()

From: Zqiang
Date: Thu Feb 23 2023 - 01:25:38 EST


According to commit '3063b33a347c ("Avoid raw-spinlocked wakeups
from call_rcu_tasks_generic()")', the grace-period kthread is delayed
to wakeup using irq_work_queue() is because if the caller of
call_rcu_tasks_generic() holds a raw spinlock, when the kernel is
built with CONFIG_PROVE_RAW_LOCK_NESTING=y, due to a spinlock will
be hold in wake_up(), so the lockdep splats will happen. but now
using rcuwait_wake_up() to wakeup grace-period kthread instead of
wake_up(), in rcuwait_wake_up() no spinlock will be acquired, so
this commit remove using irq_work_queue(), invoke rcuwait_wake_up()
directly in call_rcu_tasks_generic().
