Hi Linus,

Please pull this for the RCU changes of v6.9:

The following changes since commit 41bccc98fb7931d63d03f326a746ac4d429c1dd3:

  Linux 6.8-rc2 (2024-01-28 17:01:12 -0800)

are available in the Git repository at:

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/boqun/linux.git tags/rcu.next.v6.9

Two merge conflicts were detected by linux-next:

* https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20240226135745.12ac854d@canb.auug.org.au/
* https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20240227125522.2bdbe6be@canb.auug.org.au/

These conflict resolutions from linux-next look good to me, plus I made
my own resolutions at branch merge/rcu.2024.02.27a for your reference.


Some highlights of the changes:

* Eliminates deadlocks involving do_exit() and RCU tasks, by Paul:
  Instead of SRCU read side critical sections, now a percpu list is used
  in do_exit() for scaning yet-to-exit tasks.

* Fixes a deadlock due to the dependency between workqueue and RCU
  expedited grace period, reported by Anna-Maria Behnsen and Thomas
  Gleixner and fixed by Frederic: Now RCU expedited always uses its own
  kthread worker instead of a workqueue.


Regards,
Boqun
