rcu/nocb: Fix rcuog wake-up from offline softirq
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
After a CPU has set itself offline and before it eventually calls
rcutree_report_cpu_dead(), there are still opportunities for callbacks
to be enqueued, for example from a softirq. When that happens on NOCB,
the rcuog wake-up is deferred through an IPI to an online CPU in order
not to call into the scheduler and risk arming the RT-bandwidth after
hrtimers have been migrated out and disabled.

But performing a synchronized IPI from a softirq is buggy as reported in
the following scenario:

        WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 26 at kernel/smp.c:633 smp_call_function_single
        Modules linked in: rcutorture torture
        CPU: 1 UID: 0 PID: 26 Comm: migration/1 Not tainted 6.11.0-rc1-00012-g9139f93209d1 #1

        RIP: 0010:smp_call_function_single
        <IRQ>

        __call_rcu_common
        ? rcu_torture_one_read
        call_timer_fn

        irq_exit_rcu
        ? tick_handle_periodic
        sysvec_apic_timer_interrupt
        </IRQ>

Fix this with forcing deferred rcuog wake up through the NOCB timer when
the CPU is offline. The actual wake up will happen from
rcutree_report_cpu_dead().
