Subject: [GIT PULL] RCU changes for v6.1
Hello, Linus,
Once the merge window opens, please pull the latest RCU git tree from:

RCU pull request for v6.1
This pull request contains the following branches:
doc.2022.08.31b: Documentation updates. This is the first in a series
from an ongoing review of the RCU documentation. "Why are people
thinking -that- about RCU? Oh. Because that is an entirely
reasonable interpretation of its documentation."
fixes.2022.08.31b: Miscellaneous fixes.
kvfree.2022.08.31b: Improved memory allocation and heuristics.
nocb.2022.09.01a: Improve rcu_nocbs diagnostic output.
poll.2022.08.31b: Add full-sized polled RCU grace period state values.
These are the same size as an rcu_head structure, which is double
that of the traditional unsigned long state values that may still
be obtained from et_state_synchronize_rcu(). The added size
avoids missing overlapping grace periods. This benefit is that
call_rcu() can be replaced by polling, which can be attractive
in situations where RCU-protected data is aged out of memory.
Early in the series, the size of this state value is three
unsigned longs. Later in the series, the synchronize_rcu() and
synchronize_rcu_expedited() fastpaths are reworked to permit
the full state to be represented by only two unsigned longs.
This reworking slows these two functions down in SMP kernels
running either on single-CPU systems or on systems with all but
one CPU offlined, but this should not be a significant problem.
And if it somehow becomes a problem in some yet-as-unforeseen
situations, three-value state values can be provided for only
those situations.
Finally, a pair of functions named same_state_synchronize_rcu()
and same_state_synchronize_rcu_full() allow grace-period state
values to be compared for equality. This permits users to
maintain lists of data structures having the same state value,
removing the need for per-data-structure grace-period state
values, thus decreasing memory footprint.
poll-srcu.2022.08.31b: Polled SRCU grace-period updates, including
adding tests to rcutorture and reducing the incidence of Tiny
SRCU grace-period-state counter wrap.
tasks.2022.08.31b: Improve Tasks RCU diagnostics and quiescent-state
detection.
