[PATCH tip/core/rcu 0/9] CPU-hotplug updates for 4.2

From: Paul E. McKenney
Date: Tue May 12 2015 - 17:49:58 EST


Hello!

The following series improves RCU's handling of CPU hotplug. It also
contains a couple of ARM placeholder patches in case someone gets caught
out by tighter diagnostics.

1. Eliminate a HOTPLUG_CPU #ifdef in favor of IS_ENABLED()

2. Adjust rcu_read_unlock_special()'s acquisition of the
task's lock to start allowing for the fact that blocked
tasks are no longer migrated to the root rcu_node structure.
If the warning does not trigger, a later patch will eliminate
the loop.

3. Rmove dead code from force_qs_rnp().

4. Remove redundant offline check.

5. Correctly initialize ->rcu_qs_ctr_snap at online time to get the
code out of its current "working by accident" state.

6. Move smpboot_unpark_threads() handling into a notifier for
uniformity.

7. [Placeholder for ARM64] Use common code for ARM64 CPU-offline
notification.

8. [Placeholder for ARM] Use common code for ARM CPU-offline
notification.

9. Remove extraneous __cpuinit, courtesy of Paul Gortmaker.

Thanx, Paul
