On PREEMPT_RT, if rcu_core() is preempted by the de-offloading process, some work, such as callbacks acceleration and invocation, may be left unattended due to the volatile checks on the offloaded state. In the worst case this work is postponed until the next rcu_pending() check that can take a jiffy to reach, which can be a problem in case of callbacks flooding. Solve that with invoking rcu_core() early in the de-offloading process. This way any work dismissed by an ongoing rcu_core() call fooled by a preempting deoffloading process will be caught up by a nearby future recall to rcu_core(), this time fully aware of the de-offloading state.

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.
