McKenney [ Upstream commit 8e4b1d2bc198e34b48fc7cc3a3c5a2fcb269e271 ] Currently, rcu_spawn_core_kthreads() is invoked via an early_initcall(), which works, except that rcu_spawn_gp_kthread() is also invoked via an early_initcall() and rcu_spawn_core_kthreads() relies on adjustments to kthread_prio that are carried out by rcu_spawn_gp_kthread(). There is no guaranttee of ordering among early_initcall() handlers, and thus no guarantee that kthread_prio will be properly checked and range-limited at the time that rcu_spawn_core_kthreads() needs it. In most cases, this bug is harmless. After all, the only reason that rcu_spawn_gp_kthread() adjusts the value of kthread_prio is if the user specified a nonsensical value for this boot parameter, which experience indicates is rare. Nevertheless, a bug is a bug. This commit therefore causes the rcu_spawn_core_kthreads() function to be invoked directly from rcu_spawn_gp_kthread() after any needed adjustments to kthread_prio have been carried out.
