From: Frederic Weisbecker frederic@kernel.org Date: Mon, 1 Feb 2021 00:05:44 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] rcu: Pull deferred rcuog wake up to rcu_eqs_enter() callers
Deferred wakeup of rcuog kthreads upon RCU idle mode entry is going to be handled differently whether initiated by idle, user or guest. Prepare with pulling that control up to rcu_eqs_enter() callers.
