    rcu: Migrate callbacks earlier in the CPU-offline timeline · a58163d8
    Paul E. McKenney 提交于
    RCU callbacks must be migrated away from an outgoing CPU, and this is
    done near the end of the CPU-hotplug operation, after the outgoing CPU is
    long gone.  Unfortunately, this means that other CPU-hotplug callbacks
    can execute while the outgoing CPU's callbacks are still immobilized
    on the long-gone CPU's callback lists.  If any of these CPU-hotplug
    callbacks must wait, either directly or indirectly, for the invocation
    of any of the immobilized RCU callbacks, the system will hang.
    
    This commit avoids such hangs by migrating the callbacks away from the
    outgoing CPU immediately upon its departure, shortly after the return
    from __cpu_die() in takedown_cpu().  Thus, RCU is able to advance these
    callbacks and invoke them, which allows all the after-the-fact CPU-hotplug
    callbacks to wait on these RCU callbacks without risk of a hang.
    
    While in the neighborhood, this commit also moves rcu_send_cbs_to_orphanage()
    and rcu_adopt_orphan_cbs() under a pre-existing #ifdef to avoid including
    dead code on the one hand and to avoid define-without-use warnings on the
    other hand.
