Subject: [PATCH 0/2] rcu/nocb cleanups

Hi,

This is an excerpt from the "[PATCH 0/8 v2] rcu: Fix expedited GP
deadlock (and cleanup some nocb stuff)" patchset with only nocb bits
that were off-topic.

No change since their previous posting.

Frederic Weisbecker (2):
rcu/nocb: Make IRQs disablement symmetric
rcu/nocb: Re-arrange call_rcu() NOCB specific code

Subject: [PATCH 1/2] rcu/nocb: Make IRQs disablement symmetric

Currently IRQs are disabled on call_rcu() and then depending on the
context:

* If the CPU is in nocb mode:

- If the callback is enqueued in the bypass list, IRQs are re-enabled
implictly by rcu_nocb_try_bypass()

- If the callback is enqueued in the normal list, IRQs are re-enabled
implicitly by __call_rcu_nocb_wake()

* If the CPU is NOT in nocb mode, IRQs are reenabled explicitly from call_rcu()

This makes the code a bit hard to follow, especially as it interleaves
with nocb locking.

To make the IRQ flags coverage clearer and also in order to prepare for
moving all the nocb enqueue code to its own function, always re-enable
the IRQ flags explicitly from call_rcu().

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] rcu/nocb: Re-arrange call_rcu() NOCB specific code

Currently the call_rcu() function interleaves NOCB and !NOCB enqueue
code in a complicated way such that:

* The bypass enqueue code may or may not have enqueued and may or may
not have locked the ->nocb_lock. Everything that follows is in a
Schrödinger locking state for the unwary reviewer's eyes.

* The was_alldone is always set but only used in NOCB related code.

* The NOCB wake up is distantly related to the locking hopefully
performed by the bypass enqueue code that did not enqueue on the
bypass list.

Unconfuse the whole and gather NOCB and !NOCB specific enqueue code to
their own functions.

Hearing no objections, I have queued this for further review and
testing.
