Paul E. McKenney ca5c825808 rcu/nocb: Remove deferred wakeup checks for extended quiescent states
The idea behind the checks for extended quiescent states at the end of
__call_rcu_nocb() is to handle cases where call_rcu() is invoked directly
from within an extended quiescent state, for example, from the idle loop.
However, this will result in a timer-mediated deferred wakeup, which
will cause the needed wakeup to happen within a jiffy or thereabouts.
There should be no forward-progress concerns, and if there are, the proper
response is to exit the extended quiescent state while executing the
endless blast of call_rcu() invocations, for example, using RCU_NONIDLE().
Given the more realistic case of an isolated call_rcu() invocation, there
should be no problem.

This commit therefore removes the checks for invoking call_rcu() within
an extended quiescent state for on no-CBs CPUs.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
