Subject: [PATCH RFC v1 2/4] rcu/nocb: Extract nocb_bypass_needs_flush() to reduce duplication
Date: Tue, 24 Feb 2026 18:04:33 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260224230435.3390963-3-joelagnelf@nvidia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260224230435.3390963-1-joelagnelf@nvidia.com>
The bypass flush decision logic is duplicated in rcu_nocb_try_bypass()
and nocb_gp_wait() with similar conditions.
This commit therefore extracts the functionality into a common helper
function nocb_bypass_needs_flush() improving the code readability.
A flush_faster parameter is added to controlling the flushing thresholds
and timeouts. This design was in the original commit d1b222c6be1f
("rcu/nocb: Add bypass callback queueing") to avoid having the GP
kthread aggressively flush the bypass queue.
