Subject[PATCH tip/core/rcu 6/9] sched: Make resched_cpu() unconditional
Date
The current implementation of synchronize_sched_expedited() incorrectly
assumes that resched_cpu() is unconditional, which it is not. This means
that synchronize_sched_expedited() can hang when resched_cpu()'s trylock
fails as follows (analysis by Neeraj Upadhyay):

o CPU1 is waiting for expedited wait to complete:

sync_rcu_exp_select_cpus
rdp->exp_dynticks_snap & 0x1 // returns 1 for CPU5
IPI sent to CPU5

synchronize_sched_expedited_wait
ret = swait_event_timeout(rsp->expedited_wq,
sync_rcu_preempt_exp_done(rnp_root),
jiffies_stall);

expmask = 0x20, CPU 5 in idle path (in cpuidle_enter())

o CPU5 handles IPI and fails to acquire rq lock.

Handles IPI
sync_sched_exp_handler
resched_cpu
returns while failing to try lock acquire rq->lock
need_resched is not set

o CPU5 calls rcu_idle_enter() and as need_resched is not set, goes to
idle (schedule() is not called).

o CPU 1 reports RCU stall.

Given that resched_cpu() is now used only by RCU, this commit fixes the
assumption by making resched_cpu() unconditional.
