From 37c72e56f6b234ea7387ba530434a80abf2658d8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Paul E. McKenney" Date: Wed, 14 Oct 2009 10:15:55 -0700 Subject: rcu: Prevent RCU IPI storms in presence of high call_rcu() load As the number of callbacks on a given CPU rises, invoke force_quiescent_state() only every blimit number of callbacks (defaults to 10,000), and even then only if no other CPU has invoked force_quiescent_state() in the meantime. This should fix the performance regression reported by Nick. Reported-by: Nick Piggin Signed-off-by: Paul E.
