From: Zqiang <qiang1.zhang@xxxxxxxxx> The rcu_report_dead() function invokes rcu_report_exp_rdp() in order to force an immediate expedited quiescent state on the outgoing CPU, and then it invokes rcu_preempt_deferred_qs() to provide any required deferred quiescent state of either sort. Because the call to rcu_preempt_deferred_qs() provides the expedited RCU quiescent state if requested, the call to rcu_report_exp_rdp() is potentially redundant. One possible issue is a concurrent start of a new expedited RCU grace period, but this situation is already handled correctly by __sync_rcu_exp_select_node_cpus(). This function will detect that the CPU is going offline via the error return from its call to smp_call_function_single(). In that case, it will retry, and eventually stop retrying due to rcu_report_exp_rdp() clearing the ->qsmaskinitnext bit corresponding to the target CPU. As a result, __sync_rcu_exp_select_node_cpus() will report the necessary quiescent state after dealing with any remaining CPU. This change assumes that control does not enter rcu_report_dead() within an RCU read-side critical section, but then again, the surviving call to rcu_preempt_deferred_qs() has always made this assumption. This commit therefore removes the call to rcu_report_exp_rdp(), thus relying on rcu_preempt_deferred_qs() to handle both normal and expedited quiescent states.
