From: "Joel Fernandes (Google)" <j...@joelfernandes.org> The funnel locking loop in rcu_start_this_gp uses rcu_root as a temporary variable while walking the combining tree. This causes a tiresome exercise of a code reader reminding themselves that rcu_root may not be root. Lets just call it rnp, and rename other variables as well to be more appropriate.
