[PATCH v3] rcu/nocb: Avoid polling when myrdp->nocb_head_rdp list is empty

From: Zqiang
Date: Sat Jun 11 2022 - 07:01:03 EST


Currently, If the 'rcu_nocb_poll' bootargs is enable, all rcuog kthreads
enter polling mode. however, due to only insert CPU's rdp which belong to
rcu_nocb_mask to 'nocb_head_rdp' list or all CPU's rdp served by rcuog
kthread have been de-offloaded, these cause the 'nocb_head_rdp' list
served by rcuog kthread is empty, when the 'nocb_head_rdp' is empty,
the rcuog kthread in polling mode not actually do anything. fix it by
exiting polling mode when the 'nocb_head_rdp'list is empty, otherwise
entering polling mode.

v1->v2:
Move rcu_nocb_poll flags check from rdp_offload_toggle() to
rcu_nocb_rdp_offload/deoffload(), avoid unnecessary setting of
rdp_gp->nocb_gp_sleep flags, because when rcu_nocb_poll is set the
rdp_gp->nocb_gp_sleep is not used.

v2->v3:
When nocb_head_rdp list is empty. put rcuog kthreads in nocb_gp_wq
waitqueue to wait offloading.
