Subject: [PATCH 5/9] rcu: Remove never-set needwake assignment from rcu_report_qs_rdp()
Date: Wed, 15 Mar 2023 19:43:45 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230315194349.10798-5-joel@joelfernandes.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230315194349.10798-1-joel@joelfernandes.org>

From: Zqiang <qiang1.zhang@intel.com>

The rcu_accelerate_cbs() function is invoked by rcu_report_qs_rdp()
only if there is a grace period in progress that is still blocked
by at least one CPU on this rcu_node structure.  This means that
rcu_accelerate_cbs() should never return the value true, and thus that
this function should never set the needwake variable and in turn never
invoke rcu_gp_kthread_wake().

This commit therefore removes the needwake variable and the invocation
of rcu_gp_kthread_wake() in favor of a WARN_ON_ONCE() on the call to
rcu_accelerate_cbs().  The purpose of this new WARN_ON_ONCE() is to
detect situations where the system's opinion differs from ours.
