Subject: [PATCH 1/1] rcu: Remove redundant checks for rcu_scheduler_fully_active
Date: Tue, 15 Jul 2014 21:50:02 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1405475402-7181-1-git-send-email-bobby.prani@gmail.com> (raw)

rcu_scheduler_fully_active is set to true early in the boot process.

rcu_prepare_kthreads() is called in two locations. Once after setting the above
flag and the other while hotplugging a CPU from rcu_cpu_notify(). CPU hotplug is
enabled much later by which time the above flag is already set. Hence checking
for this flag is redundant in this function.

The checks in rcu_spawn_one_boost_kthread() and rcu_spawn_all_nocb_kthreads()
are similarly redundant.

This commit removes the redundant checks for this flag from the above
locations.
