[PATCH rcu 05/32] rcu-tasks: Merge state into .b.need_qs and atomically update

Paul E. McKenney
2022-06-20T22:55:09Z

This commit gets rid of the task_struct structure's ->trc_reader_checked
field, making it instead be a bit within the task_struct structure's
existing ->trc_reader_special.b.need_qs field. This commit also
atomically loads, stores, and checks the resulting combination of the
reader-checked and need-quiescent state flags. This will in turn allow
significant simplification of the rcu_tasks_trace_postgp() function
as well as elimination of the trc_n_readers_need_end counter in later
commits. These changes will in turn simplify later elimination of the
RCU Tasks Trace scan of the task list, which will make RCU Tasks Trace
grace periods less CPU-intensive.
