The force-quiesce-state loop function rcu_gp_fqs_loop() checks for callback overloading and does an immediate initial scan for idle CPUs if so. However, subsequent rescans will be carried out at as leisurely a rate as they always are, as specified by the rcutree.jiffies_till_next_fqs module parameter. It might be tempting to just continue immediately rescanning, but this turns the RCU grace-period kthread into a CPU hog. It might also be tempting to reduce the time between rescans to a single jiffy, but this can be problematic on larger systems. This commit therefore divides the normal time between rescans by three, rounding up. Thus a small system running at HZ=1000 that is suffering from callback overload will wait only one jiffy instead of the normal three between rescans.

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.
