rcu: Eliminate __rcu_pending() false positives
Now that there are both ->gpnum and ->completed fields in the rcu_node structure, __rcu_pending() should check rdp->gpnum and rdp->completed against rnp->gpnum and rdp->completed, respectively, instead of the prior comparison against the rcu_state fields rsp->gpnum and rsp->completed. Given the old comparison, __rcu_pending() could return 1, resulting in a needless raise_softirq(RCU_SOFTIRQ). This useless work would happen if RCU responded to a scheduling-clock interrupt after the rcu_state fields had been updated, but before the rcu_node fields had been updated. Changing the comparison from the rcu_state fields to the rcu_node fields prevents this useless work from happening. Signed-off-by: NPaul E.
