Subject: [for-linus][PATCH 5/7] ftrace: Avoid synchronize_rcu_tasks_rude() call when not necessary
Date: Fri, 23 Jul 2021 08:54:59 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210723125634.213430293@goodmis.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20210723125454.570472450@goodmis.org
From: Nicolas Saenz Julienne <nsaenzju@redhat.com>
synchronize_rcu_tasks_rude() triggers IPIs and forces rescheduling on
all CPUs. It is a costly operation and, when targeting nohz_full CPUs,
very disrupting (hence the name). So avoid calling it when 'old_hash'
doesn't need to be freed.
