Subject: rcu: When GP kthread is starved, tag idle threads as false positives
X-Git-Tag: v5.8-rc1~227^2~17^2^4~1
X-Git-Url: http://git.osdn.net/view?a=commitdiff_plain;h=88375825171c7de5f1e68ac6fd5d35d3b831da3c;p=tomoyo%2Ftomoyo-test1.git

rcu: When GP kthread is starved, tag idle threads as false positives

If the grace-period kthread is starved, idle threads' extended quiescent
states are not reported.  These idle threads thus wrongly appear to
be blocking the current grace period.  This commit therefore tags such
idle threads as probable false positives when the grace-period kthread
is being starved.
