Subject: [PATCH rcu 0/18] RCU Tasks updates for v5.17

Hello!

This series provides RCU Tasks updates, including making stall warnings
use task_call_func() and providing better update-side scalability for
call_rcu_tasks_trace() and friends:

1.	rcu-tasks: Don't remove tasks with pending IPIs from holdout list.

2.	rcu-tasks:  Create per-CPU callback lists.

3.	rcu-tasks: Introduce ->percpu_enqueue_shift for dynamic queue
	selection.

4.	rcu-tasks: Convert grace-period counter to grace-period sequence
	number.

5.	rcu_tasks: Convert bespoke callback list to rcu_segcblist
	structure.

6.	rcu-tasks: Use spin_lock_rcu_node() and friends.

7.	rcu-tasks: Inspect stalled task's trc state in locked state,
	courtesy of Neeraj Upadhyay.

8.	rcu-tasks: Add a ->percpu_enqueue_lim to the rcu_tasks structure.

9.	rcu-tasks: Abstract checking of callback lists.

10.	rcu-tasks: Abstract invocations of callbacks.

11.	rcu-tasks: Use workqueues for multiple rcu_tasks_invoke_cbs()
	invocations.

12.	rcu-tasks: Make rcu_barrier_tasks*() handle multiple callback
	queues.

13.	rcu-tasks: Add rcupdate.rcu_task_enqueue_lim to set initial
	queueing.

14.	rcu-tasks: Count trylocks to estimate call_rcu_tasks() contention.

15.	rcu-tasks: Avoid raw-spinlocked wakeups from
	call_rcu_tasks_generic().

16.	rcu-tasks: Use more callback queues if contention encountered.

17.	rcu-tasks: Use separate ->percpu_dequeue_lim for callback
	dequeueing.

18.	rcu-tasks: Use fewer callbacks queues if callback flood ends.

						Thanx, Paul
