The rcutorture test suite occasionally provokes a splat due to invoking resched_cpu() on an offline CPU: WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 8 at /home/paulmck/public_git/linux-rcu/arch/x86/kernel/smp.c:128 native_smp_send_reschedule+0x37/0x40 Modules linked in: CPU: 2 PID: 8 Comm: rcu_preempt Not tainted 4.14.0-rc4+ #1 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS Ubuntu-1.8.2-1ubuntu1 04/01/2014 task: ffff902ede9daf00 task.stack: ffff96c50010c000 RIP: 0010:native_smp_send_reschedule+0x37/0x40 RSP: 0018:ffff96c50010fdb8 EFLAGS: 00010096 RAX: 000000000000002e RBX: ffff902edaab4680 RCX: 0000000000000003 RDX: 0000000080000003 RSI: 0000000000000000 RDI: 00000000ffffffff RBP: ffff96c50010fdb8 R08: 0000000000000000 R09: 0000000000000001 R10: 0000000000000000 R11: 00000000299f36ae R12: 0000000000000001 R13: ffffffff9de64240 R14: 0000000000000001 R15: ffffffff9de64240 FS: 0000000000000000(0000) GS:ffff902edfc80000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 CR2: 00000000f7d4c642 CR3: 000000001e0e2000 CR4: 00000000000006e0 Call Trace: resched_curr+0x8f/0x1c0 resched_cpu+0x2c/0x40 rcu_implicit_dynticks_qs+0x152/0x220 force_qs_rnp+0x147/0x1d0 ? sync_rcu_exp_select_cpus+0x450/0x450 rcu_gp_kthread+0x5a9/0x950 kthread+0x142/0x180 ? force_qs_rnp+0x1d0/0x1d0 ? kthread_create_on_node+0x40/0x40 ret_from_fork+0x27/0x40 Code: 14 01 0f 92 c0 84 c0 74 14 48 8b 05 14 4f f4 00 be fd 00 00 00 ff 90 a0 00 00 00 5d c3 89 fe 48 c7 c7 38 89 ca 9d e8 e5 56 08 00 <0f> ff 5d c3 0f 1f 44 00 00 8b 05 52 9e 37 02 85 c0 75 38 55 48 ---[ end trace 26df9e5df4bba4ac ]--- This splat cannot be generated by expedited grace periods because they always invoke resched_cpu() on the current CPU, which is good because expedited grace periods require that resched_cpu() unconditionally succeed. However, other parts of RCU can tolerate resched_cpu() acting as a no-op, at least as long as it doesn't happen too often. This commit therefore makes resched_cpu() invoke resched_curr() only if the CPU is either online or is the current CPU. 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.
