Subject: [RFC PATCH RT 4/4] rcutorture: Avoid problematic critical section nesting
rcutorture was generating some nesting scenarios that are not
reasonable. Constrain the state selection to avoid them.
Example #1:
1. preempt_disable()
2. local_bh_disable()
3. preempt_enable()
4. local_bh_enable()
On PREEMPT_RT, BH disabling takes a local lock only when called in
non-atomic context. Thus, atomic context must be retained until after BH
is re-enabled. Likewise, if BH is initially disabled in non-atomic
context, it cannot be re-enabled in atomic context.
Example #2:
1. rcu_read_lock()
2. local_irq_disable()
3. rcu_read_unlock()
4. local_irq_enable()
If the thread is preempted between steps 1 and 2,
rcu_read_unlock_special.b.blocked will be set, but it won't be
acted on in step 3 because IRQs are disabled. Thus, reporting of the
quiescent state will be delayed beyond the local_irq_enable().
Example #3:
1. preempt_disable()
2. local_irq_disable()
3. preempt_enable()
4. local_irq_enable()
If need_resched is set between steps 1 and 2, then the reschedule
in step 3 will not happen.

TODO: Document restrictions and add debug checks for invalid sequences.
I had been planning to resolve #1 (only as shown, not the case of
disabling preemption while non-atomic and enabling while atomic) by
changing how migrate_disable() works to avoid the split behavior, but
recently BH disabling was changed to do the same thing. I still plan to
send the migrate disable changes as a separate patchset, for the sake of
the significant performance improvement I saw.
