Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 0/10] No-CBs contention-reduction updates for
 v5.3-rc2

Hello!

This series partially addresses lock-contention increases caused by the
move to the ->cblist segmented callback list.

1.	Enable re-awakening under high callback load.

2.	Never downgrade ->nocb_defer_wakeup in wake_nocb_gp_defer().

3.	Make __call_rcu_nocb_wake() safe for many callbacks.

4.	Avoid needless wakeups of no-CBs grace-period kthread.

5.	Avoid ->nocb_lock capture by corresponding CPU.

6.	Round down for number of no-CBs grace-period kthreads.

7.	Reduce contention at no-CBs registry-time CB advancement.

8.	Reduce contention at no-CBs invocation-done time.

9.	Reduce ->nocb_lock contention with separate ->nocb_gp_lock.

10.	Unconditionally advance and wake for excessive CBs.

							Thanx, Paul
