Chris Friesen notice that rcuc/X kthreads were consuming CPU even on NOCB CPUs. This makes no sense because the only purpose or these kthreads is to invoke normal (non-offloaded) callbacks, of which there will never be any on NOCB CPUs. This problem was due to a bug in cpu_has_callbacks_ready_to_invoke(), which should have been checking ->nxttail[RCU_NEXT_TAIL] for NULL, but which was instead (incorrectly) checking ->nxttail[RCU_DONE_TAIL]. Because ->nxttail[RCU_DONE_TAIL] is never NULL, the only effect is to cause the rcuc/X kthread to execute when it should not do so. This commit therefore checks ->nxttail[RCU_NEXT_TAIL], which is NULL for NOCB CPUs. Reported-by: Chris Friesen <chris.friesen@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
