Subject: rcu: Make rcu_read_unlock_special() propagate ->qsmaskinit bit clearing
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b6a932d1d9840727eee619d455bdeeedaa205be9;p=linux-beck.git

rcu: Make rcu_read_unlock_special() propagate ->qsmaskinit bit clearing

This commit causes rcu_read_unlock_special() to propagate ->qsmaskinit
bit clearing up the rcu_node tree once a given rcu_node structure's
blkd_tasks list becomes empty.  This is the final commit in preparation
for the rework of RCU priority boosting:  It enables preempted tasks to
remain queued on their rcu_node structure even after all of that rcu_node
structure's CPUs have gone offline.
