Subject: [PATCH RFC tip/core/rcu 2/5] srcu: Provide internal interface to start a Tiny SRCU grace period
Date:   Mon, 16 Nov 2020 16:40:49 -0800

From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@kernel.org>

There is a need for a polling interface for SRCU grace periods.
This polling needs to initiate an SRCU grace period without
having to queue (and manage) a callback.  This commit therefore
splits the Tiny SRCU call_srcu() function into callback-queuing and
start-grace-period portions, with the latter in a new function named
srcu_gp_start_if_needed().
