[PATCH rcu v2] 6/9] osnoise: provide quiescent states
From: Paul E. McKenney
Date: Thu Jan 30 2025 - 13:56:31 EST
From: Ankur Arora <ankur.a.arora@xxxxxxxxxx>
To reduce RCU noise for nohz_full configurations, osnoise depends
on cond_resched() providing quiescent states for PREEMPT_RCU=n
configurations. For PREEMPT_RCU=y configurations -- where
cond_resched() is a stub -- we do this by directly calling
rcu_momentary_eqs().
With (PREEMPT_LAZY=y, PREEMPT_DYNAMIC=n), however, we have a
configuration with (PREEMPTION=y, PREEMPT_RCU=n) where neither
of the above can help.
Handle that by providing an explicit quiescent state here for all
configurations.
As mentioned above this is not needed for non-stubbed cond_resched(),
but, providing a quiescent state here just pulls in one that a future
cond_resched() would provide, so doesn't cause any extra work for
this configuration.
