commit fcc63543650150629c8a873cbef3578770acecd9 upstream. Currently, the parallelized initialization of expedited grace periods uses the workqueue associated with each rcu_node structure's ->grplo field. This works fine unless that CPU is offline. This commit therefore uses the CPU corresponding to the lowest-numbered online CPU, or just queues the work on WORK_CPU_UNBOUND if there are no online CPUs corresponding to this rcu_node structure. Note that this patch uses cpu_is_offline() instead of the usual approach of checking bits in the rcu_node structure's ->qsmaskinitnext field. This is safe because preemption is disabled across both the cpu_is_offline() check and the call to queue_work_on().

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
