Subject: [PATCH 08/11] rcu: don't use negative ->rcu_read_lock_nesting
Date: Thu, 31 Oct 2019 10:08:03 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191031100806.1326-9-laijs@linux.alibaba.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20191031100806.1326-1-laijs@linux.alibaba.com>

Negative ->rcu_read_lock_nesting was introduced to prevent
scheduler deadlock which was just prevented by deferred qs.
So negative ->rcu_read_lock_nesting is useless now and
rcu_read_unlock() can be simplified.

And negative ->rcu_read_lock_nesting is bug-prone,
it is good to kill it.
