[PATCH] rcu/nocb: Delete local variable 'need_rcu_nocb_mask' in rcu_init_nohz()
Posted by Zhen Lei 4 years ago 
The local variable 'need_rcu_nocb_mask' is true only if CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL
is defined. So branch "if (need_rcu_nocb_mask)" can be moved within the
scope of "#if defined(CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL)". At this point, using variable
'need_rcu_nocb_mask' is not necessary, so delete it.

No functional changes, but the code looks a little more concise.

First, please accept my apologies for the late reply and for the
overly active spam filters.

One question below.

Could you please test this on a kernel built with CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=n
and CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU=y?  If that works, please add an explanation
of why it works to the commit log above and repost the patch.

OK, I will test it.

> of why it works to the commit log above and repost the patch.

Sorry, If I had written pseudocode in the commit log, it would have been clear, as below:

-----------------before-----------------
        bool need_rcu_nocb_mask = false;

#if defined(CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL)
        if (tick_nohz_full_running && !cpumask_empty(tick_nohz_full_mask))
                need_rcu_nocb_mask = true;      <----	//Move it here, then delete all 'need_rcu_nocb_mask' related code
#endif /* #if defined(CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL) */          |
                                                     |
        if (need_rcu_nocb_mask) {                    |  //Can only be true above
                ...                             -----
        }

-----------------after-----------------
#if defined(CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL)
        if (tick_nohz_full_running && !cpumask_empty(tick_nohz_full_mask)) {
                ...
	}
#endif /* #if defined(CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL) */

I'm doing clean up on the premise that the original code is correct.

Thanks! I suspect though that the introduction of
CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_DEFAULT_ALL has made this patch unecessary.
