[PATCH] rcu: Skip additional checks if rcu_cpu_stall_suppress is set

From: Neeraj Upadhyay
Date: Tue Aug 08 2017 - 13:20:44 EST


If rcu_kick_kthreads is set, and gp is in progress, check_cpu_stall()
does checks to figure out whether jiffies is past rsp->jiffies_stall,
doing ordered accesses to avoid any false positives for new grace
period initialization after a sufficiently large idle period. This
extra processing can be skipped if rcu_cpu_stall_suppress is set.

Fixes: 8c7c4829a81c ("rcu: Awaken grace-period kthread if too long since FQS")
