[PATCH rcu 13/18] rcu/nocb: Remove rcu_node structure from nocb list when de-offloaded

From: Paul E. McKenney
Date: Wed Dec 01 2021 - 19:30:56 EST


From: Frederic Weisbecker <frederic@xxxxxxxxxx>

The nocb_gp_wait() function iterates over all CPUs in its group,
including even those CPUs that have been de-offloaded. This is of
course suboptimal, especially if none of the CPUs within the group are
currently offloaded. This will become even more of a problem once a
nocb kthread is created for all possible CPUs.

Therefore use a standard double linked list to link all the offloaded
rcu_data structures and safely add or delete these structure as we
offload or de-offload them, respectively.
