From 717f98f0f87c16c1e5768ac8f67c27f3d3535a25 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Paul E. McKenney" Date: Fri, 5 Aug 2011 22:39:02 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] rcu: Eliminate in_irq() checks in rcu_enter_nohz() The in_irq() check in rcu_enter_nohz() is redundant because if we really are in an interrupt, the attempt to re-enter dyntick-idle mode will invoke rcu_needs_cpu() in any case, which will force the check for RCU callbacks. So this commit removes the check along with the set_need_resched(). Suggested-by: Frederic Weisbecker Signed-off-by: Paul E.
