From 23c22d91561dd555d07381fb1f567539769c2ea0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Paul E. McKenney" Date: Fri, 20 Dec 2024 13:09:30 -0800 Subject: rcu-tasks: Move RCU Tasks self-tests to core_initcall() The timer and hrtimer softirq processing has moved to dedicated threads for kernels built with CONFIG_IRQ_FORCED_THREADING=y. This results in timers not expiring until later in early boot, which in turn causes the RCU Tasks self-tests to hang in kernels built with CONFIG_PROVE_RCU=y, which further causes the entire kernel to hang. One fix would be to make timers work during this time, but there are no known users of RCU Tasks grace periods during that time, so no justification for the added complexity. Not yet, anyway. This commit therefore moves the call to rcu_init_tasks_generic() from kernel_init_freeable() to a core_initcall(). This works because the timer and hrtimer kthreads are created at early_initcall() time. Fixes: 49a17639508c3 ("softirq: Use a dedicated thread for timer wakeups on PREEMPT_RT.")
