From 366237e7b0833faa2d8da7a8d7d7da8c3ca802e5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Paul E. McKenney" Date: Wed, 10 Jul 2019 08:01:01 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] stop_machine: Provide RCU quiescent state in multi_cpu_stop() When multi_cpu_stop() loops waiting for other tasks, it can trigger an RCU CPU stall warning. This can be misleading because what is instead needed is information on whatever task is blocking multi_cpu_stop(). This commit therefore inserts an RCU quiescent state into the multi_cpu_stop() function's waitloop. Signed-off-by: Paul E.
