Hello!
This series adds support and testing for srcu_read_lock_lite()
and srcu_read_unlock_lite(), which avoid smp_mb(), but add a
couple of synchronize_rcu() calls to the grace-period processing
and may only be used where RCU is watching.
1. Rename srcu_might_be_idle() to srcu_should_expedite().
2. Introduce srcu_gp_is_expedited() helper function.
3. Renaming in preparation for additional reader flavor.
4. Bit manipulation changes for additional reader flavor.
5. Standardize srcu_data pointers to "sdp" and similar.
6. Add srcu_read_lock_lite() and srcu_read_unlock_lite().
7. Allow inlining of __srcu_read_{,un}lock_lite().
8. Expand RCUTORTURE_RDR_MASK_[12] to eight bits.
9. Add reader_flavor parameter for SRCU readers.
10. Add srcu_read_lock_lite() support to rcutorture.reader_flavor.
11. Add light-weight SRCU scenario.
12. Add srcu_read_lock_lite() support using "srcu-lite".
Thanx, Paul
