The sync_sched_exp_online_cleanup() is invoked at online time to handle the case where the start of an expedited grace period ran concurrently with a CPU being taken offline and then immediately being placed online. It checks to see if RCU needs an expedited quiescent state from the incoming CPU, sending it an IPI if so. However, it is quite possible that sync_sched_exp_online_cleanup() is running on that CPU, in which case it is considerably less overhead to simply request the quiescent state locally instead of simulating a self-IPI. This commit therefore places the last few lines of rcu_exp_handler() into a new rcu_exp_need_qs() function, which is invoked both by rcu_exp_handler() and by sync_sched_exp_online_cleanup() in the self-IPI case. This also reduces the rcu_exp_handler() function's state space by removing the direct call that this smp_call_function_single() uses to emulate the requested self-IPI. This in turn will allow tighter error checking in rcu_is_cpu_rrupt_from_idle(). Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.ibm.com> Reviewed-by: Joel Fernandes (Google) <joel@joelfernandes.org>
