From: Frederic Weisbecker <frederic@xxxxxxxxxx> rcu_core() tries to ensure that its self-invocation in case of callbacks overload only happen in softirq/rcuc mode. Indeed it doesn't make sense to trigger local RCU core from nocb_cb kthread since it can execute on a CPU different from the target rdp. Also in case of overload, the nocb_cb kthread simply iterates a new loop of callbacks processing. However the "offloaded" check that aims at preventing misplaced rcu_core() invocations is wrong. First of all that state is volatile and second: softirq/rcuc can execute while the target rdp is offloaded. As a result rcu_core() can be invoked on the wrong CPU while in the process of (de-)offloading. Fix that with moving the rcu_core() self-invocation to rcu_core() itself, irrespective of the rdp offloaded state.
