Subject: RE: [PATCH] rcu: Fix bind rcu related kthreads to housekeeping CPUs
Did the testing and checked the CPU affinities of RCU kthreads by running "ps -eo psr,comm| grep rcu" [1]:
Without Zqiang's patch:
...
0 rcu_preempt
0 rcuog/0
0 rcuop/0
0 rcuop/1
0 rcuog/2
0 rcuop/2
2 rcuop/3
With Zqiang's patch:
...
3 rcu_preempt // on housekeeping CPU 3
2 rcuog/0 // on housekeeping CPU 2
3 rcuop/0 // on housekeeping CPU 3
3 rcuop/1 // on housekeeping CPU 3
0 rcuog/2 // on non-housekeeping CPU 0. [2]
0 rcuop/2 // on non-housekeeping CPU 0. [2]
2 rcuop/3
[1] The 1st column of the output is for CPU IDs and the 2nd column is for thread names.
[2] Added debug messages into the two threads, and found that the two threads didn't run after all CPUs were online.
So if they run again after all CPUs are online, they will also be moved to housekeeping CPUs by Zqiang's patch.

Could you tweak all the commit messages to fix the typos and the grammar errors? 😊
