[ Upstream commit8e4b1d2bc1] 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.

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.
