From d716ea059cd3d6abfbedda164a67b3659e19d2de Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Frederic Weisbecker Date: Wed, 15 Mar 2023 19:43:43 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] entry/rcu: Check TIF_RESCHED _after_ delayed RCU wake-up [ Upstream commit b416514054810cf2d2cc348ae477cea619b64da7 ] RCU sometimes needs to perform a delayed wake up for specific kthreads handling offloaded callbacks (RCU_NOCB). These wakeups are performed by timers and upon entry to idle (also to guest and to user on nohz_full). However the delayed wake-up on kernel exit is actually performed after the thread flags are fetched towards the fast path check for work to do on exit to user. As a result, and if there is no other pending work to do upon that kernel exit, the current task will resume to userspace with TIF_RESCHED set and the pending wake up ignored. Fix this with fetching the thread flags _after_ the delayed RCU-nocb kthread wake-up.
