[PATCH] rcu: Update rcu_preempt_deferred_qs() comments for no preemptible RCU

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



For no preemptible RCU, the rcu_preempt_deferred_qs() only report
expedited QS state of current CPU, since preemption does not occur
in RCU critical sections, there are no tasks insert to leaf rnp
blocked-tasks list, that is to say the tasks structure's ->rcu_blocked_node
and the leaf rnp structure's  ->blkd_tasks are always empty.
