Hi,
These patches are a proposal to add gadget quirks in an immediate objective to

Definitly fixed in v3.12. Just tested it and it works.

srcu read lock/unlock include a full memory barrier
but that's an implementation detail.
Add an API for make memory fencing explicit for
users that need this barrier, to make sure we
can change it as needed without breaking all users.

I noticed that srcu_read_lock/unlock both have a memory barrier,
so just by moving srcu_read_unlock earlier we can get rid of
one call to smp_mb() using smp_mb__after_srcu_read_unlock instead.
Unsurprisingly, the gain is small but measureable using the unit test
microbenchmark:

No it's not, it doesn't require one queue per CPU.
A CPU these days isn't really a CPU anymore, but often a CPU thread,
which is much more light weight. So having a queue per CPU is often
total overkill, and amplifies any per
