From 575e0d54417ce2c758b5e2204601829c4855ae73 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Neeraj Upadhyay Date: Sat, 11 Dec 2021 22:31:39 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] rcu/nocb: Handle concurrent nocb kthreads creation When multiple CPUs in the same nocb gp/cb group concurrently come online, they might try to concurrently create the same rcuog kthread. Fix this by using nocb gp CPU's spawn mutex to provide mutual exclusion for the rcuog kthread creation code.
