Subject: [PATCH rcu 0/7] Expedited-grace-period updates for v5.17

Hello!

This series provides updates for RCU expedited grace periods, most
notably 7/7 fixing a low-probability grace-period hang.

1.	Ignore rdp.cpu_no_qs.b.exp on preemptible RCU's rcu_qs(),
	courtesy of Frederic Weisbecker.

2.	Move rcu_data.cpu_no_qs.b.exp reset to rcu_export_exp_rdp(),
	courtesy of Frederic Weisbecker.

3.	Remove rcu_data.exp_deferred_qs and convert to rcu_data.cpu
	no_qs.b.exp, courtesy of Frederic Weisbecker.

4.	Mark sync_sched_exp_online_cleanup() ->cpu_no_qs.b.exp load.

5.	Prevent expedited GP from enabling tick on offline CPU.

6.	Make idle entry report expedited quiescent states.

7.	Mark current CPU as exp-QS in IPI loop second pass, courtesy of
	Frederic Weisbecker.

						Thanx, Paul
