[Xen-devel] [PATCH 0/2] xen/rcu: let rcu work better with core scheduling

[Juergen Gross <jgross@xxxxxxxx>]

Today the RCU handling in Xen is affecting scheduling in several ways.
It is raising sched softirqs without any real need and it requires
tasklets for rcu_barrier(), which interacts badly with core scheduling.

This small series repairs those issues.

Juergen Gross (2):
  xen/rcu: use rcu softirq for forcing quiescent state
  xen/rcu: don't use stop_machine_run() for rcu_barrier()
