rcu/nocb: Don't invoke local rcu core on callback overload from nocb …
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
…kthread

rcu_core() tries to ensure that its self-invocation in case of callbacks
overload only happen in softirq/rcuc mode. Indeed it doesn't make sense
to trigger local RCU core from nocb_cb kthread since it can execute
on a CPU different from the target rdp. Also in case of overload, the
nocb_cb kthread simply iterates a new loop of callbacks processing.

However the "offloaded" check that aims at preventing misplaced
rcu_core() invocations is wrong. First of all that state is volatile
and second: softirq/rcuc can execute while the target rdp is offloaded.
As a result rcu_core() can be invoked on the wrong CPU while in the
process of (de-)offloading.

Fix that with moving the rcu_core() self-invocation to rcu_core() itself,
irrespective of the rdp offloaded state.
