Hello! This series includes changes affecting NOCBs and NO_HZ_FULL operation.
1. Fix for bug in earlier patch (b58cc46c5f6b, Don't offload callbacks unless specifically requested) that properly handles early-boot callbacks. (This bug affects unusual configurations, see commit log for more information.) 2. Properly check the return value of zalloc_cpumask_var(), courtesy of Pranith Kumar. 3. Use bool constant for __call_rcu_nocb() return value, courtesy of Pranith Kumar. 4. Use bool constant for rcu_nocb_adopt_orphan_cbs() return value, courtesy of Pranith Kumar. 5. Use bool constant for __call_rcu_nocb() return value in the case where callbacks are not offloaded, courtesy of Pranith Kumar. 6. Use bool constant for rcu_nocb_adopt_orphan_cbs() return value in the case where callbacks are not offloaded, courtesy of Pranith Kumar. 7. Aggregate RCU's kthread creation so that it is all done from a single early_initcall() function. 8. Create rcuo kthreads only for CPUs that actually have come online at least once since boot. 9. Check have_rcu_nocb_mask instead of for a NULL rcu_nocb_mask, given that this latter is not necessarily a pointer, courtesy of Pranith Kumar. 10. Eliminate redundant rcu_sysidle_state variable. 11. Don't bother tracking sysidle state if there are no nohz_full= CPUs in the system. 12. Avoid misordering in __call_rcu_nocb_enqueue(). 13. Handle NOCB callbacks from irq-disabled idle code. 14. Avoid misordering in nocb_leader_wait().
