Subject: [PATCH 1/4] rcu: Ignore rdp.cpu_no_qs.b.exp on premptible RCU's rcu_qs()
Date: Thu, 16 Sep 2021 14:10:45 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210916121048.36623-2-frederic@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210916121048.36623-1-frederic@kernel.org>

The preemptible RCU flavour doesn't rely at all on
struct rcu_data::cpu_no_qs::b::exp and use its own
struct rcu_data::exp_deferred_qs field to record the need for an
expedited quiescent state.

In fact rdp.cpu_no_qs.b.exp should never be set in preemptible RCU.

Make that fact clear and disambiguate the expectations on the
preemptible RCU's rcu_qs() implementation. In this flavour, common
quiescent states aren't expected to deal with expedited grace periods
because those have their own way to report expedited quiescent states:
rcu_read_unlock_special, context switches, etc...
