Subject[PATCH rcu 25/32] rcu-tasks: Stop RCU Tasks Trace from scanning idle tasks
Date
Now that RCU scans both running tasks and tasks that have blocked within
their current RCU Tasks Trace read-side critical section, there is no
need for it to scan the idle tasks. After all, an idle loop should not
be remain within an RCU Tasks Trace read-side critical section across
exit from idle, and from a BPF viewpoint, functions invoked from the
idle loop should not sleep. So only running idle tasks can be within
RCU Tasks Trace read-side critical sections.

This commit therefore removes the scan of the idle tasks from the
rcu_tasks_trace_postscan() function.
