Bimodal behavior of rcu_do_batch() is not really suited to Google applications like gfe servers. When a process with millions of sockets exits, closing all files queues two rcu callbacks per socket. This eventually reaches the point where RCU enters an emergency mode, where rcu_do_batch() do not return until whole queue is flushed. Each rcu callback lasts at least 70 nsec, so with millions of elements, we easily spend more than 100 msec without rescheduling. Goal of this patch is to avoid the infamous message like following "need_resched set for > 51999388 ns (52 ticks) without schedule" We dynamically adjust the number of elements we process, instead of 10 / INFINITE choices, we use a floor of ~1 % of current entries. If the number is above 1000, we switch to a time based limit of 3 msec per batch, adjustable with /sys/module/rcutree/parameters/rcu_resched_ns Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> [ paulmck: Forward-port and remove debug statements. ] Signed-off-by: Paul E.

README
Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
