This is one of the fail-safe checks that has been rendered unnecessary by the changes that increase the accuracy of rcu_gp_cleanup()'s estimate as to whether another grace period is required. Because this particular fail-safe involved acquiring the root rcu_node structure's ->lock, which has seen excessive contention in real life, this fail-safe needs to go. However, one check must remain, namely the check for newly arrived RCU callbacks that have not yet been associated with a grace period. One might hope that the checks in __note_gp_changes(), which is invoked indirectly from rcu_check_quiescent_state(), would suffice, but this function won't be invoked at all if RCU is idle. It is therefore necessary to replace the fail-safe checks with a simpler check for newly arrived callbacks during an RCU idle period, which is exactly what this commit does. This change removes the final call to rcu_start_gp(), so this function is removed as well. Note that lockless use of cpu_needs_another_gp() is racy, but that these races are harmless in this case. If RCU really is idle, the values will not change, so the return value from cpu_needs_another_gp() will be correct. If RCU is not idle, the resulting redundant call to rcu_accelerate_cbs() will be harmless, and might even have the benefit of reducing grace-period latency a bit. This commit also moves interrupt disabling into the "if" statement to improve real-time response a bit. Reported-by: Nicholas Piggin Signed-off-by: Paul E.
