Tiny SRCU uses irq_work_queue() to start grace periods and
irq_work_sync() to wait for pending work. However, TINY_SRCU does not
select IRQ_WORK, so configurations that do not otherwise enable it
fail to link with undefined references to these functions.
Guenter reported this failure with csky tinyconfig on the 6.12 and
6.6 stable trees. Current kernels enable IRQ_WORK indirectly through
SLUB, but Tiny SRCU should declare its own dependency.
Select IRQ_WORK from TINY_SRCU to ensure that its irq_work calls are
supported independently of other configuration options.
