From: Paul E. McKenney Date: Tue, 5 Aug 2014 12:10:24 +0000 (-0700) Subject: rcu: Make rcu_tasks_kthread()'s GP-wait loop allow preemption X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=8f20a5e83d2c5d0e126a2fc9bca67f7430dac907;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git rcu: Make rcu_tasks_kthread()'s GP-wait loop allow preemption The grace-period-wait loop in rcu_tasks_kthread() is under (unnecessary) RCU protection, and therefore has no preemption points in a PREEMPT=n kernel. This commit therefore removes the RCU protection and inserts cond_resched(). Reported-by: Frederic Weisbecker Signed-off-by: Paul E.
