    rcu: Prevent RCU IPI storms in presence of high call_rcu() load · 37c72e56
    Paul E. McKenney authored
    As the number of callbacks on a given CPU rises, invoke
    force_quiescent_state() only every blimit number of callbacks
    (defaults to 10,000), and even then only if no other CPU has
    invoked force_quiescent_state() in the meantime.
    
    This should fix the performance regression reported by Nick.
