This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled rcu-tasks: Move RTGS_WAIT_CBS to beginning of rcu_tasks_kthread() loop to the 5.14-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: rcu-tasks-move-rtgs_wait_cbs-to-beginning-of-rcu_tas.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.14 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 928e6df33448cb348f03a9a76d64c87444139d5a Author: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Aug 11 09:07:44 2021 -0700 rcu-tasks: Move RTGS_WAIT_CBS to beginning of rcu_tasks_kthread() loop [ Upstream commit 0db7c32ad3160ae06f497d48a74bd46a2a35e6bf ] Early in debugging, it made some sense to differentiate the first iteration from subsequent iterations, but now this just causes confusion. This commit therefore moves the "set_tasks_gp_state(rtp, RTGS_WAIT_CBS)" statement to the beginning of the "for" loop in rcu_tasks_kthread().
