Doesn't this get set right at the end of the current grace period?
Given that there is a callback overload, there should be a grace
period in progress.
See this code in rcu_gp_cleanup():
if (rcu_is_leaf_node(rnp))
for_each_leaf_node_cpu_mask(rnp, cpu, rnp->cbovldmask) {
rdp = per_cpu_ptr(&rcu_data, cpu);
check_cb_ovld_locked(rdp, rnp);
}
So what am I missing here? Or are you planning to remove the above code?
If so, wouldn't you also need to clear the indication for the CPU that
is going offline, being careful to handle the case where the two CPUs
have different leaf rcu_node structures?
