sched: Make resched_cpu() unconditional
commit 7c2102e56a3f7d85b5d8f33efbd7aecc1f36fdd8 upstream. The current implementation of synchronize_sched_expedited() incorrectly assumes that resched_cpu() is unconditional, which it is not. This means that synchronize_sched_expedited() can hang when resched_cpu()'s trylock fails as follows (analysis by Neeraj Upadhyay): o CPU1 is waiting for expedited wait to complete: sync_rcu_exp_select_cpus rdp->exp_dynticks_snap & 0x1 // returns 1 for CPU5 IPI sent to CPU5 synchronize_sched_expedited_wait ret = swait_event_timeout(rsp->expedited_wq, sync_rcu_preempt_exp_done(rnp_root), jiffies_stall); expmask = 0x20, CPU 5 in idle path (in cpuidle_enter()) o CPU5 handles IPI and fails to acquire rq lock. Handles IPI sync_sched_exp_handler resched_cpu returns while failing to try lock acquire rq->lock need_resched is not set o CPU5 calls rcu_idle_enter() and as need_resched is not set, goes to idle (schedule() is not called). o CPU 1 reports RCU stall. Given that resched_cpu() is now used only by RCU, this commit fixes the assumption by making resched_cpu() unconditional.
