[PATCH 6/6] rcu: Add comment to rcu_do_batch() identifying rcuoc code path

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

 



From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@xxxxxxxxxx>

This commit adds a comment to help explain why the "else" clause of the
in_serving_softirq() "if" statement does not need to enforce a time limit.
The reason is that this "else" clause handles rcuoc kthreads that do not
block handlers for other softirq vectors.
