RCU's current CPU-offline code path dumps all of the outgoing CPU's callbacks onto the RCU_NEXT_TAIL portion of the surviving CPU's callback list. This means that all the ready-to-invoke callbacks from the outgoing CPU must wait for another full RCU grace period. This was just fine when CPU-hotplug events were rare, but there is increasing evidence that users are planning to make increasing use of CPU hotplug. Therefore, this commit changes the callback-dumping procedure so that callbacks that are ready to invoke are moved to the RCU_DONE_TAIL portion of the surviving CPU's callback list. This avoids running these callbacks through a second unnecessary grace period. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paul.mckenney@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
