Read-side critical section nesting is tracked in lower-order bits
and grace-period phase number use a single high-order bit


Thanks for the fix. Here is a comment below,

I think it would be clearer to state:

Helper for _urcu_bp_read_lock().  The format of urcu_bp_gp.ctr (as well as
the per-thread rcu_reader.ctr) has the lower-order bits containing a count of
urcu_bp_read_lock() nesting, and a single high-order URCU_BP_GP_CTR_PHASE bit
that contains either zero or one.  The smp_mb_slave() ensures that the accesses
in urcu_bp_read_lock() happen before the subsequent read-side critical section.

(likewise for similar comments in other files).

Can you submit an updated patch please ?

Thanks,

Mathieu
