If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Paul E. McKenney commit 92aa39e9dc77481b90cbef25e547d66cab901496 upstream. The per-CPU rcu_dynticks.rcu_urgent_qs variable communicates an urgent need for an RCU quiescent state from the force-quiescent-state processing within the grace-period kthread to context switches and to cond_resched(). Unfortunately, such urgent needs are not communicated to need_resched(), which is sometimes used to decide when to invoke cond_resched(), for but one example, within the KVM vcpu_run() function. As of v4.15, this can result in synchronize_sched() being delayed by up to ten seconds, which can be problematic, to say nothing of annoying. This commit therefore checks rcu_dynticks.rcu_urgent_qs from within rcu_check_callbacks(), which is invoked from the scheduling-clock interrupt handler. If the current task is not an idle task and is not executing in usermode, a context switch is forced, and either way, the rcu_dynticks.rcu_urgent_qs variable is set to false. If the current task is an idle task, then RCU's dyntick-idle code will detect the quiescent state, so no further action is required. Similarly, if the task is executing in usermode, other code in rcu_check_callbacks() and its called functions will report the corresponding quiescent state.
