The rcu_tasks_rude_wait_gp() function in turn checks if there is only a single online CPU. If so, it will immediately return, because a call to synchronize_rcu_tasks_rude() is by definition a grace period on a single-CPU system. (We could have blocked!) Unfortunately, this check uses num_online_cpus() without synchronization, which can result in too-short grace periods. To see this, consider the following scenario: CPU0 CPU1 (going offline) migration/1 task: cpu_stopper_thread -> take_cpu_down -> _cpu_disable (dec __num_online_cpus) ->cpuhp_invoke_callback preempt_disable access old_data0 task1 del old_data0 ..... synchronize_rcu_tasks_rude() task1 schedule out .... task2 schedule in rcu_tasks_rude_wait_gp() ->__num_online_cpus == 1 ->return .... task1 schedule in ->free old_data0 preempt_enable When CPU1 decrements __num_online_cpus, its value becomes 1. However, CPU1 has not finished going offline, and will take one last trip through the scheduler and the idle loop before it actually stops executing instructions. Because synchronize_rcu_tasks_rude() is mostly used for tracing, and because both the scheduler and the idle loop can be traced, this means that CPU0's prematurely ended grace period might disrupt the tracing on CPU1. Given that this disruption might include CPU1 executing instructions in memory that was just now freed (and maybe reallocated), this is a matter of some concern. This commit therefore removes that problematic single-CPU check from the rcu_tasks_rude_wait_gp() function. This dispenses with the single-CPU optimization, but there is no evidence indicating that this optimization is important. In addition, synchronize_rcu_tasks_generic() contains a similar optimization (albeit only for early boot), which also splats. (As in exactly why are you invoking synchronize_rcu_tasks_rude() so early in boot, anyway???) It is OK for the synchronize_rcu_tasks_rude() function's check to be unsynchronized because the only times that this check can evaluate to true is when there is only a single CPU running with preemption disabled. While in the area, this commit also fixes a minor bug in which a call to synchronize_rcu_tasks_rude() would instead be attributed to synchronize_rcu_tasks().
