Subject[PATCH v4 tip/core/rcu 30/38] rcu-tasks: Handle the running-offline idle-task special case
Date
From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@kernel.org>

The idle task corresponding to an offline CPU can appear to be running
while that CPU is offline. This commit therefore adds checks for this
situation, treating it as a quiescent state. Because the tasklist scan
and the holdout-list scan now exclude CPU-hotplug operations, readers
on the CPU-hotplug paths are still waited for.
