Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 10/12] rcu/nocb: Disable bypass when CPU isn't completely offloaded
Date: Wed,  3 Mar 2021 16:23:09 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210304002311.23655-10-paulmck@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210304002225.GA23492@paulmck-ThinkPad-P72>

From: Frederic Weisbecker <frederic@kernel.org>

Currently, the bypass is flushed at the very last moment in the
deoffloading procedure.  However, this approach leads to a larger state
space than would be preferred.  This commit therefore disables the
bypass at soon as the deoffloading procedure begins, then flushes it.
This guarantees that the bypass remains empty and thus out of the way
of the deoffloading procedure.

Symmetrically, this commit waits to enable the bypass until the offloading
procedure has completed.
