From f596e2ce1c0f250bb3ecc179f611be37e862635f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Zqiang Date: Mon, 4 Apr 2022 07:59:32 +0800 Subject: rcu: Use IRQ_WORK_INIT_HARD() to avoid rcu_read_unlock() hangs When booting kernels built with both CONFIG_RCU_STRICT_GRACE_PERIOD=y and CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT=y, the rcu_read_unlock_special() function's invocation of irq_work_queue_on() the init_irq_work() causes the rcu_preempt_deferred_qs_handler() function to work execute in SCHED_FIFO irq_work kthreads. Because rcu_read_unlock_special() is invoked on each rcu_read_unlock() in such kernels, the amount of work just keeps piling up, resulting in a boot-time hang. This commit therefore avoids this hang by using IRQ_WORK_INIT_HARD() instead of init_irq_work(), but only in kernels built with both CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT=y and CONFIG_RCU_STRICT_GRACE_PERIOD=y.
