From f8bb5cae9616224a39cbb399de382d36ac41df10 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Frederic Weisbecker Date: Mon, 1 Feb 2021 00:05:46 +0100 Subject: rcu/nocb: Trigger self-IPI on late deferred wake up before user resume Entering RCU idle mode may cause a deferred wake up of an RCU NOCB_GP kthread (rcuog) to be serviced. Unfortunately the call to rcu_user_enter() is already past the last rescheduling opportunity before we resume to userspace or to guest mode. We may escape there with the woken task ignored. The ultimate resort to fix every callsites is to trigger a self-IPI (nohz_full depends on arch to implement arch_irq_work_raise()) that will trigger a reschedule on IRQ tail or guest exit. Eventually every site that want a saner treatment will need to carefully place a call to rcu_nocb_flush_deferred_wakeup() before the last explicit need_resched() check upon resume.
