From: Frederic Weisbecker frederic@kernel.org Date: Mon, 1 Feb 2021 00:05:47 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] entry: Explicitly flush pending rcuog wakeup before last rescheduling point

Following the idle loop model, cleanly check for pending rcuog wakeup before the last rescheduling point on resuming to user mode. This way we can avoid to do it from rcu_user_enter() with the last resort self-IPI hack that enforces rescheduling.
