As noted by user RavFX in a comment to Phoronix topic 1002538, this is an inconvenient side effect of the removal of the RCU_NOCB_CPU_ALL Kconfig option. This commit therefore enables the rcu_nocbs= kernel boot parameter to be given the string "all", as in "rcu_nocbs=all" to specify that all CPUs on the system are to have their RCU callbacks offloaded. Another approach would be to make cpulist_parse() check for "all", but there are uses of cpulist_parse() that do other checking, which could conflict with an "all". This commit therefore focuses on the specific use of cpulist_parse() in rcu_nocb_setup(). Just a note to other people who would like changes to Linux-kernel RCU: If you send your requests to me directly, they might get fixed somewhat faster. RavFX's comment was posted on January 22, 2018 and I first saw it on March 5, 2019. And the only reason that I found it -at- -all- was that I was looking for projects using RCU, and my search engine showed me that Phoronix comment quite by accident. Your choice, though! ;-) Signed-off-by: Paul E.
