Subject: [PATCH -next 4/8] rcu/nocb: Add warning if no rcuog wake up attempt happened during overload
Date: Thu,  1 Jan 2026 11:34:13 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260101163417.1065705-5-joelagnelf@nvidia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260101163417.1065705-1-joelagnelf@nvidia.com>

To be sure we have no rcog wake ups that were lost, add a warning
to cover the case where the rdp is overloaded with callbacks but
no wake up was attempted.
