Subject: [PATCH 4/4] ACPI: processor: Fix missing need_resched() check after rcu_idle_enter()
Date: Mon,  4 Jan 2021 16:20:58 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210104152058.36642-5-frederic@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210104152058.36642-1-frederic@kernel.org>

Entering RCU idle mode may cause a deferred wake up of an RCU NOCB_GP
kthread (rcuog) to be serviced.

Usually a wake up happening while running the idle task is spotted in
one of the need_resched() checks carefully placed within the idle loop
that can break to the scheduler.

Unfortunately within acpi_idle_enter_bm() the call to rcu_idle_enter()
is already beyond the last generic need_resched() check. The cpu idle
implementation happens to be ok because it ends up calling
mwait_idle_with_hints() or acpi_safe_halt() which both perform their own
need_resched() checks. But the suspend to idle implementation doesn't so
it may suspend the CPU with a resched request unhandled, leaving the
task hanging.

Fix this with performing a last minute need_resched() check after
calling rcu_idle_enter().
