Subject: [PATCH v4 05/11] rcu/nocb: support lazy init for runtime CPU isolation
Date: Fri, 10 Jul 2026 11:28:16 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260710-wujing-dhm-v4-5-2e912e5d9645@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260710-wujing-dhm-v4-0-2e912e5d9645@gmail.com>

When a cpuset isolated partition first requests kernel-noise isolation,
it needs to offload RCU callbacks from the affected CPUs. The existing
rcu_nocb_cpu_offload() requires rcu_nocbs= or nohz_full= at boot so
that rcu_organize_nocb_kthreads() has already set rdp->nocb_gp_rdp for
each CPU. Without a boot parameter, nocb_gp_rdp is NULL and offload
fails immediately.

Introduce lazy nocb initialization so that the first call into the
isolation path triggers the one-time setup automatically:

  rcu_nocb_lazy_init() - allocates rcu_nocb_mask and calls
    rcu_organize_nocb_kthreads() (now without __init) to set
    nocb_gp_rdp for every possible CPU. Uses a dedicated mutex
    for serialization with a fast-path read of nocb_is_setup.

  rcu_nocb_cpu_isolate() - exported entry point called per-CPU
    while the CPU is offline. Calls rcu_nocb_lazy_init() for the
    one-time setup, spawns the GP and CB kthreads via the existing
    rcu_spawn_cpu_nocb_kthread(), then finalizes offload through
    rcu_nocb_cpu_offload(). Adding the CPU to the GP kthread's
    nocb_head_rdp list is handled by nocb_gp_toggle_rdp() in the
    GP kthread, so rcu_organize_nocb_kthreads() can run with an
    empty mask.

Remove __init from rcu_organize_nocb_kthreads() to allow this
runtime call path; the function itself has no __initdata dependencies.
