From 8c7c4829a81c1838f18c12ce5a3a5c29a08bf0a8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Paul E. McKenney" Date: Sun, 3 Jan 2016 20:29:57 -0800 Subject: rcu: Awaken grace-period kthread if too long since FQS Recent kernels can fail to awaken the grace-period kthread for quiescent-state forcing. This commit is a crude hack that does a wakeup if a scheduling-clock interrupt sees that it has been too long since force-quiescent-state (FQS) processing. Signed-off-by: Paul E.
