softirq: A single rcu_bh_qs() call per softirq set is enough
Calling rcu_bh_qs() after every softirq action is not really needed. What RCU needs is at least one rcu_bh_qs() per softirq round to note a quiescent state was passed for rcu_bh. Note for Paul and myself : this could be inlined as a single instruction and avoid smp_processor_id() (sone this_cpu_write(rcu_bh_data.passed_quiesce, 1)) Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E.
