[PATCH -next v2 0/4] rcu/nocb: Cleanup patches for next merge window

Posted by Joel Fernandes 3 weeks, 2 days ago

These are few nocb related cleanup patches for the next merge window that I am
resending. The fourth patch is trivial extraction of duplicate code for canceling
deferred wakeups.

I did not hear back about opinions on "Add warning to detect if overload
advancement is ever useful" [1] so I will hold off on deleting that code path till
the next merge window (for now the patch is just adding a warning).

Changes from v1:
- Added patch 4 to extract nocb_defer_wakeup_cancel() helper
- Add Frederic's review talk to "Remove unnecessary WakeOvfIsDeferred wake path"

nocb rcutorture scenarios passed overnight testing on my system.

The git tree with all patches can be found at:
