[PATCH 1/2] rcu-tasks: Repair RCU Tasks Trace quiescence check

From: Boqun Feng
Date: Mon Jan 29 2024 - 17:59:25 EST


From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@xxxxxxxxxx>

The context-switch-time check for RCU Tasks Trace quiescence expects
current->trc_reader_special.b.need_qs to be zero, and if so, updates
it to TRC_NEED_QS_CHECKED. This is backwards, because if this value
is zero, there is no RCU Tasks Trace grace period in flight, an thus
no need for a quiescent state. Instead, when a grace period starts,
this field is set to TRC_NEED_QS.

This commit therefore changes the check from zero to TRC_NEED_QS.
