Subject: [PATCH 03/48] rcu: Add lockdep checks and kernel-doc header to rcu_softirq_qs()

From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@...nel.org>

There is some indications that rcu_softirq_qs() might be more generally
used than anticipated.  This commit therefore adds some lockdep assertions
and some cautionary tales in a new kernel-doc header.

+/**
+ * rcu_softirq_qs - Provide a set of RCU quiescent states in softirq processing
+ *
+ * Mark a quiescent state for RCU, Tasks RCU, and Tasks Trace RCU.
+ * This is a special-purpose function to be used in the softirq
+ * infrastructure and perhaps the occasional long-running softirq
+ * handler.
+ *
+ * Note that from RCU's viewpoint, a call to rcu_softirq_qs() is
+ * equivalent to momentarily completely enabling preemption.  For
+ * example, given this code::
+ *
+ *	local_bh_disable();
+ *	do_something();
+ *	rcu_softirq_qs();  // A
+ *	do_something_else();
+ *	local_bh_enable();  // B
+ *
+ * A call to synchronize_rcu() that began concurrently with the
+ * call to do_something() would be guaranteed to wait only until
+ * execution reached statement A.  Without that rcu_softirq_qs(),
+ * that same synchronize_rcu() would instead be guaranteed to wait
+ * until execution reached statement B.
