[PATCH v2 07/10] rcu/tasks: Check RCU watching state for holdout idle injection tasks

From: neeraj . upadhyay
Date: Wed Oct 09 2024 - 08:58:01 EST


From: Neeraj Upadhyay <neeraj.upadhyay@xxxxxxxxxx>

Use RCU watching state of a CPU to check whether RCU-tasks GP
need to wait for idle injection task on that CPU. Idle injection
tasks which are in deep-idle states where RCU is not watching or
which have transitioned to/from deep-idle state do not block
RCU-tasks grace period.
