Subject: [PATCH v9 1/7] rcu/tree: Make rcu_do_batch count how many callbacks were executed
Currently, rcu_do_batch() depends on the unsegmented callback list's len field
to know how many CBs are executed. This fields counts down from 0 as CBs are
dequeued. It is possible that all CBs could not be run because of reaching
limits in which case the remaining unexecuted callbacks are requeued in the
CPU's segcblist.
The number of callbacks that were not requeued are then the negative count (how
many CBs were run) stored in the rcl->len which has been counting down on every
dequeue. This negative count is then added to the per-cpu segmented callback
list's to correct its count.
Such a design works against future efforts to track the length of each segment
of the segmented callback list. The reason is because
rcu_segcblist_extract_done_cbs() will be populating the unsegmented callback
list's length field (rcl->len) during extraction.
Also, the design of counting down from 0 is confusing and error-prone IMHO.
This commit therefore explicitly counts how many callbacks were executed in
rcu_do_batch() itself, and uses that to update the per-CPU segcb list's ->len
field, without relying on the negativity of rcl->len.
