flush_all_backlogs() may cause deadlock on systems running processes with FIFO scheduling policy. The above is critical in -RT scenarios, where user-space specifically ensure no network activity is scheduled on the CPU running the mentioned FIFO process, but still get stuck. This commit tries to address the problem checking the backlog status on the remote CPUs before scheduling the flush operation. If the backlog is empty, we can skip it. v1 -> v2: - explicitly clear flushed cpu mask - Eric Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
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.
