[PATCH RFC v2 09/24] hazptrtorture: Split hazptr_torture_reader_tail() from hazptr_torture_reader()

From: Paul E. McKenney

Date: Wed Jul 15 2026 - 20:19:50 EST


This commit splits a new hazptr_torture_reader_tail() function out
of hazptr_torture_reader(). This will allow hazptr_torture_reader()
to pass hazard pointers off to other tasks and to various types of
handlers, and those hazard pointers can in turn be passed to this new
hazptr_torture_reader_tail() function to complete processing.
