From: "Paul E. McKenney" <[email protected]> RCU quiescent-state forcing is currently carried out without preemption points, which can result in excessive latency spikes on large systems (many hundreds or thousands of CPUs). This patch therefore inserts a voluntary preemption point into force_qs_rnp(), which should greatly reduce the magnitude of these spikes.
