rcu: Allow dyntick-idle mode for CPUs with callbacks
Currently, RCU does not permit a CPU to enter dyntick-idle mode if that CPU has any RCU callbacks queued. This means that workloads for which each CPU wakes up and does some RCU updates every few ticks will never enter dyntick-idle mode. This can result in significant unnecessary power consumption, so this patch permits a given to enter dyntick-idle mode if it has callbacks, but only if that same CPU has completed all current work for the RCU core. We determine use rcu_pending() to determine whether a given CPU has completed all current work for the RCU core. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paul.mckenney@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Paul E.
