From 353af9c9a866b07492b15a4efd18ec93123d3a1d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paul Gortmaker Date: Thu, 20 Dec 2012 09:35:02 -0800 Subject: rcu: Prevent soft-lockup complaints about no-CBs CPUs The wait_event() at the head of the rcu_nocb_kthread() can result in soft-lockup complaints if the CPU in question does not register RCU callbacks for an extended period. This commit therefore changes the wait_event() to a wait_event_interruptible(). Reported-by: Frederic Weisbecker Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker Signed-off-by: Paul E.
