Subject: [PATCH v7 3/6] rcu/trace: Add tracing for how segcb list changes
Date:   Wed, 14 Oct 2020 20:22:58 -0400
Message-Id: <20201015002301.101830-4-joel@joelfernandes.org>
In-Reply-To: <20201015002301.101830-1-joel@joelfernandes.org>

Track how the segcb list changes before/after acceleration, during
queuing and during dequeuing.

This has proved useful to discover an optimization to avoid unwanted GP
requests when there are no callbacks accelerated. The overhead is minimal as
each segment's length is now stored in the respective segment.
