Subject[PATCH 3/4] ARM: imx6q: Fix missing need_resched() check after rcu_idle_enter()
Date
Entering RCU idle mode may cause a deferred wake up of an RCU NOCB_GP
kthread (rcuog) to be serviced.

Usually a wake up happening while running the idle task is spotted in
one of the need_resched() checks carefully placed within the idle loop
that can break to the scheduler.

Unfortunately imx6q_enter_wait() is beyond the last generic
need_resched() check and it performs a wfi right away after the call to
rcu_idle_enter(). We may halt the CPU with a resched request unhandled,
leaving the task hanging.

Fix this with performing a last minute need_resched() check after
calling rcu_idle_enter().
