    rcu: Make TASKS_RCU handle nohz_full= CPUs · 176f8f7a
    Paul E. McKenney authored
    Currently TASKS_RCU would ignore a CPU running a task in nohz_full=
    usermode execution.  There would be neither a context switch nor a
    scheduling-clock interrupt to tell TASKS_RCU that the task in question
    had passed through a quiescent state.  The grace period would therefore
    extend indefinitely.  This commit therefore makes RCU's dyntick-idle
    subsystem record the task_struct structure of the task that is running
    in dyntick-idle mode on each CPU.  The TASKS_RCU grace period can
    then access this information and record a quiescent state on
    behalf of any CPU running in dyntick-idle usermode.
