Subject: [PATCH 06/34] context_tracking: Remove rcu_task_trace_heavyweight_{enter,exit}()
Date: Tue, 23 Sep 2025 07:20:08 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250923142036.112290-6-paulmck@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <580ea2de-799a-4ddc-bde9-c16f3fb1e6e7@paulmck-laptop>

Because SRCU-fast does not use IPIs for its grace periods, there is
no need for real-time workloads to switch to an IPI-free mode, and
there is in turn no need for either rcu_task_trace_heavyweight_enter()
or rcu_task_trace_heavyweight_exit().  This commit therefore removes them.
