[PATCH rcu 5/7] rcu: Prevent expedited GP from enabling tick on offline CPU
From: Paul E. McKenney
Date: Wed Dec 01 2021 - 19:12:36 EST
If an RCU expedited grace period starts just when a CPU is in the process
of going offline, so that the outgoing CPU has completed its pass through
stop-machine but has not yet completed its final dive into the idle loop,
RCU will attempt to enable that CPU's scheduling-clock tick via a call
to tick_dep_set_cpu(). For this to happen, that CPU has to have been
online when the expedited grace period completed its CPU-selection phase.
This is pointless: The outgoing CPU has interrupts disabled, so it cannot
take a scheduling-clock tick anyway. In addition, the tick_dep_set_cpu()
function's eventual call to irq_work_queue_on() will splat as follows:
smpboot: CPU 1 is now offline

This commit therefore avoids invoking tick_dep_set_cpu() on offlined
CPUs to limit both futility and false-positive splats.
