This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled rcu-tasks: Ensure RCU Tasks Trace loops have quiescent states to the 6.0-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-ensure-rcu-tasks-trace-loops-have-quiescen.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.0 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit ba41f6aeaed9453a85aa206555611ad1c2218b62 Author: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Jul 18 10:57:26 2022 -0700 rcu-tasks: Ensure RCU Tasks Trace loops have quiescent states [ Upstream commit d6ad60635cafe900bcd11ad588d8accb36c36b1b ] The RCU Tasks Trace grace-period kthread loops across all CPUs, and there can be quite a few CPUs, with some commercially available systems sporting well over a thousand of them. Some of these loops can feature IPIs, which can take some time. This commit therefore places a call to cond_resched_tasks_rcu_qs() in each such loop.
