[PATCH 2/4] cpuidle: Fix missing need_resched() check after rcu_idle_enter()

From: Frederic Weisbecker
Date: Mon Dec 21 2020 - 20:38:37 EST


Entering RCU idle mode may cause a deferred wake up of an RCU NOCB_GP
kthread (rcuog) to be serviced.

Usually a wake up happening while running the idle task is spotted in
one of the need_resched() checks carefully placed within the idle loop
that can break to the scheduler.

Unfortunately within cpuidle the call to rcu_idle_enter() is already
beyond the last generic need_resched() check. Some drivers may perform
their own checks like with mwait_idle_with_hints() but many others don't
and we may halt the CPU with a resched request unhandled, leaving the
task hanging.

Fix this with performing a last minute need_resched() check after
calling rcu_idle_enter().
