    rcu: Accelerate callbacks for CPU initiating a grace period · 62da1921
    Paul E. McKenney 提交于
    Because grace-period initialization is carried out by a separate
    kthread, it might happen on a different CPU than the one that
    had the callback needing a grace period -- which is where the
    callback acceleration needs to happen.
    
    Fortunately, rcu_start_gp() holds the root rcu_node structure's
    ->lock, which prevents a new grace period from starting.  This
    allows this function to safely determine that a grace period has
    not yet started, which in turn allows it to fully accelerate any
    callbacks that it has pending.  This commit adds this acceleration.
