srcu: Provide internal interface to start a Tree SRCU grace period
mainline inclusion from mainline-5.10.62 commit fdf66e5a7fc87d3213c21eef4472b71d54fdf736 bugzilla: 182217 https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I4EFOS Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=fdf66e5a7fc87d3213c21eef4472b71d54fdf736 -------------------------------- commit 29d2bb94 upstream. 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 Tree SRCU __call_srcu() function into callback-initialization and queuing/start-grace-period portions, with the latter in a new function named srcu_gp_start_if_needed(). This function may be passed a NULL callback pointer, in which case it will refrain from queuing anything. Why have the new function mess with queuing? Locking considerations, of course!
