[RFC PATCH 02/14] sched: Define a need_resched_or_ipi() helper and use it treewide

From: K Prateek Nayak
Date: Tue Feb 20 2024 - 12:17:08 EST


From: "Gautham R. Shenoy" <gautham.shenoy@xxxxxxx>

Currently TIF_NEED_RESCHED is being overloaded, to wakeup an idle CPU in
TIF_POLLING mode to service an IPI even if there are no new tasks being
woken up on the said CPU.

In preparation of a proper fix, introduce a new helper
"need_resched_or_ipi()" which is intended to return true if either
the TIF_NEED_RESCHED flag or if TIF_NOTIFY_IPI flag is set. Use this
helper function in place of need_resched() in idle loops where
TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG is set.

To preserve bisectibility and avoid unbreakable idle loops, all the
need_resched() checks within TIF_POLLING_NRFLAGS sections, have been
replaced tree-wide with the need_resched_or_ipi() check.

[ prateek: Replaced some of the missed out occurrences of
need_resched() within a TIF_POLLING sections with
need_resched_or_ipi() ]
