RCU has only one multi-tail callback list, which is implemented via the nxtlist, nxttail, nxtcompleted, qlen_lazy, and qlen fields in the rcu_data structure, and whose operations are open-code throughout the Tree RCU implementation. This has been more or less OK in the past, but upcoming callback-list optimizations in SRCU could really use a multi-tail callback list there as well. This commit therefore abstracts the multi-tail callback list handling into a new kernel/rcu/rcu_segcblist.h file, and uses this new API. The simple head-and-tail pointer callback list is also abstracted and applied everywhere except for the NOCB callback-offload lists. (Yes, the plan is to apply them there as well, but this commit is already bigger than would be good.) Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
