Subject: [PATCH 159/347] rcu: Make ksoftirqd do RCU quiescent states
Origin: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/4.19/older/patches-4.19.246-rt110.tar.xz

Implementing RCU-bh in terms of RCU-preempt makes the system vulnerable
to network-based denial-of-service attacks.  This patch therefore
makes __do_softirq() invoke rcu_bh_qs(), but only when __do_softirq()
is running in ksoftirqd context.  A wrapper layer in interposed so that
other calls to __do_softirq() avoid invoking rcu_bh_qs().  The underlying
function __do_softirq_common() does the actual work.

The reason that rcu_bh_qs() is bad in these non-ksoftirqd contexts is
that there might be a local_bh_enable() inside an RCU-preempt read-side
critical section.  This local_bh_enable() can invoke __do_softirq()
directly, so if __do_softirq() were to invoke rcu_bh_qs() (which just
calls rcu_preempt_qs() in the PREEMPT_RT_FULL case), there would be
an illegal RCU-preempt quiescent state in the middle of an RCU-preempt
read-side critical section.  Therefore, quiescent states can only happen
in cases where __do_softirq() is invoked directly from ksoftirqd.
