This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled entry: Explicitly flush pending rcuog wakeup before last rescheduling point to the 5.10-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: entry-explicitly-flush-pending-rcuog-wakeup-before-last-rescheduling-point.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 47b8ff194c1fd73d58dc339b597d466fe48c8958 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Frederic Weisbecker <frederic@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 1 Feb 2021 00:05:47 +0100 Subject: entry: Explicitly flush pending rcuog wakeup before last rescheduling point From: Frederic Weisbecker <frederic@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 47b8ff194c1fd73d58dc339b597d466fe48c8958 upstream. Following the idle loop model, cleanly check for pending rcuog wakeup before the last rescheduling point on resuming to user mode. This way we can avoid to do it from rcu_user_enter() with the last resort self-IPI hack that enforces rescheduling.
