Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 11/15] rcu: Break more call_rcu() deadlock involving scheduler and perf
From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@...ux.vnet.ibm.com>
Commit 96d3fd0d315a9 (rcu: Break call_rcu() deadlock involving scheduler
and perf) covered the case where __call_rcu_nocb_enqueue() needs to wake
the rcuo kthread due to the queue being initially empty, but did not
do anything for the case where the queue was overflowing. This commit
therefore also defers wakeup for the overflow case.
