Subject: [PATCH 6.6.y 1/2] srcu: Add NUM_ACTIVE_SRCU_POLL_OLDSTATE
Date: Sat, 14 Nov 2026 13:46:08 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261114184544.402778-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)

[ Upstream commit 395e73bd8d35fa9b8505e44f63a2a10abde09cce ]

This commit adds NUM_ACTIVE_SRCU_POLL_OLDSTATE, which gives the maximum
number of distinct return values from get_state_synchronize_rcu()
that can, at a given point in time, correspond to not-completed SRCU
grace periods.
