McKenney <paulmck@xxxxxxxxxx> CommitterDate: Mon, 10 May 2021 16:00:48 -07:00 kvfree_rcu: Update "monitor_todo" once a batch is started Before attempting to start a new batch the "monitor_todo" variable is set to "false" and set back to "true" when a previous RCU batch is still in progress. This is at best confusing. Thus change this variable to "false" only when a new batch has been successfully queued, otherwise, just leave it be.
