[PATCH tip/core/rcu 5/6] rcu: Exclude RCU-offline CPUs from expedited grace periods

From: Paul E. McKenney
Date: Mon Aug 22 2016 - 11:23:21 EST


The expedited RCU grace periods currently rely on a failure indication
from smp_call_function_single() to determine that a given CPU is offline.
This works after a fashion, but is more contorted and less precise than
relying on RCU's internal state. This commit therefore takes a first
step towards relying on internal state.
