- Updates to the handling of expedited grace periods, perhaps most
notably parallelizing their initialization. Other changes
include fixes from Boqun Feng.
- Miscellaneous fixes. These include an nvme fix from Nitzan Carmi
that I am carrying because it depends on a new SRCU function
cleanup_srcu_struct_quiesced(). This branch also includes fixes
from Byungchul Park and Yury Norov.
- Updates to reduce lock contention in the rcu_node combining tree.
These are in preparation for the consolidation of RCU-bh,
RCU-preempt, and RCU-sched into a single flavor, which was
requested by Linus Torvalds in response to a security flaw
whose root cause included confusion between the multiple flavors
of RCU.
- Torture-test updates that save their users some time and effort.
