[PATCH 08/16] rcu: Re-offload support

Frederic Weisbecker
2020-10-23T14:47:42Z

In order to re-offload the callbacks processing of an rdp, we must clear
SEGCBLIST_SOFTIRQ_ONLY, set SEGCBLIST_OFFLOADED and notify the CB and GP
kthreads so that they both set their own bit flag and start processing
the callbacks remotely. The re-offloading worker is then notified that
it can stop processing the callbacks locally.

Ordering must be carefully enforced so that the callbacks that used to
be processed locally without locking must have their latest updates
visible by the time they get processed by the kthreads.
