Whenever a CPU receives a scheduling-clock interrupt, RCU checks to see if the RCU core needs anything from this CPU. If so, RCU raises RCU_SOFTIRQ to carry out any needed processing. This approach has worked well historically, but it is undesirable on NO_HZ_FULL CPUs. Such CPUs are expected to spend almost all of their time in userspace, so that scheduling-clock interrupts can be disabled while there is only one runnable task on the CPU in question. Unfortunately, raising any softirq has the potential to wake up ksoftirqd, which would provide the second runnable task on that CPU, preventing disabling of scheduling-clock interrupts. What is needed instead is for RCU to leave NO_HZ_FULL CPUs alone, relying on the grace-period kthreads' quiescent-state forcing to do any needed RCU work on behalf of those CPUs. This commit therefore refrains from raising RCU_SOFTIRQ on any NO_HZ_FULL CPUs during any grace periods that have been in effect for less than one second. The one-second limit handles the case where an inappropriate workload is running on a NO_HZ_FULL CPU that features lots of scheduling-clock interrupts, but no idle or userspace time.
