In default configutions, RCU currently waits at least 100 milliseconds before asking cond_resched() and/or resched_rcu() for help seeking quiescent states to end a grace period. But 100 milliseconds can be one good long time during an RCU callback flood, for example, as can happen when user processes repeatedly open and close files in a tight loop. These 100-millisecond gaps in successive grace periods during a callback flood can result in excessive numbers of callbacks piling up, unnecessarily increasing memory footprint. This commit therefore asks cond_resched() and/or resched_rcu() for help as early as the first FQS scan when at least one of the CPUs has more than 20,000 callbacks queued, a number that can be changed using the new rcutree.qovld kernel boot parameter. An auxiliary qovld_calc variable is used to avoid acquisition of locks that have not yet been initialized. Early tests indicate that this reduces the RCU-callback memory footprint during rcutorture floods by from 50% to 4x, depending on configuration.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
