[PATCH v6 0/2] rcu/nocb: Delete local variable 'need_rcu_nocb_mask' in rcu_init_nohz()

From: Zhen Lei
Date: Thu Sep 01 2022 - 09:19:21 EST


v5 --> v6:
1. Frist, update patch 1/2, so that, CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_DEFAULT_ALL=y takes
effect only when there are no 'rcu_nocbs=' and 'nohz_full='. Retain the same
semantics as the original.
2. Then, add patch 2/2, so that, CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_DEFAULT_ALL=y takes effect
as long as there is no "rcu_nocbs=" boot parameter. This is suggested by
Frederic Weisbecker.

Test cases and test results as below:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
| CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL | CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_DEFAULT_ALL | cmdline |
----------------------------------------------------------------------
1) N | N | none |
2) N | N | rcu_nocbs=1-2 |
3) Y | N | nohz_full=2-3 |
4) Y | N | rcu_nocbs=1 nohz_full=3 |
5) Y | Y | none |
6) Y | Y | rcu_nocbs=1-2 |
7) Y | Y | nohz_full=2-3 |
8) Y | Y | rcu_nocbs=1 nohz_full=3 |
----------------------------------------------------------------------

dmesg | grep "Offload RCU callbacks"
1) none
2) Offload RCU callbacks from CPUs: 1-2.
3) Offload RCU callbacks from CPUs: 2-3.
4) Offload RCU callbacks from CPUs: 1,3.
5) Offload RCU callbacks from CPUs: 0-3.
6) Offload RCU callbacks from CPUs: 1-2.
7) Offload RCU callbacks from CPUs: 0-3.
8) Offload RCU callbacks from CPUs: 1,3.


v4 --> v5:
1. Cancel eliminate rcu_state.nocb_is_setup. It is useful for case 1) below.

Test cases and test results as below:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
| CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL | CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_DEFAULT_ALL | cmdline |
----------------------------------------------------------------------
1) N | N | none |
2) N | N | rcu_nocbs=1-2 |
3) Y | N | nohz_full=1-2 |
4) Y | Y | none |

2) 3) 4)
The same to v4.


v3 --> v4:
Fix a build warning.
- struct cpumask *cpumask = NULL;
+ const struct cpumask *cpumask = NULL;

v2 --> v3:
1. Eliminate rcu_state.nocb_is_setup
2. Update the code based on the above patch and commit b37a667c6242
("rcu/nocb: Add an option to offload all CPUs on boot").
