[PATCH 0/2] rcu: Fix series of spurious RCU softirqs

From: Frederic Weisbecker
Date: Tue Nov 23 2010 - 19:31:27 EST


Hi,

I've observed some not so unfrequent series of spurious rcu
softirqs, sometimes happening at each ticks for a random
while.

These patches aims at fixing them.

Thanks.

rcu: Stop checking quiescent states after grace period completion from remote
