From 43a89baecfe200cb4530f42b9fcf904925d6d14a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Paul E. McKenney" Date: Wed, 5 Jul 2023 20:34:43 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] rcu: Export rcu_request_urgent_qs_task() If a CPU is executing a long series of non-sleeping system calls, RCU grace periods can be delayed for on the order of a couple hundred milliseconds. This is normally not a problem, but if each system call does a call_rcu(), those callbacks can stack up. RCU will eventually notice this callback storm, but use of rcu_request_urgent_qs_task() allows the code invoking call_rcu() to give RCU a heads up. This function is not for general use, not yet, anyway. Reported-by: Alexei Starovoitov Signed-off-by: Paul E.
