Paul E. McKenney c7e88067c1 srcu: Exact tracking of srcu_data structures containing callbacks
The current Tree SRCU implementation schedules a workqueue for every
srcu_data covered by a given leaf srcu_node structure having callbacks,
even if only one of those srcu_data structures actually contains
callbacks.  This is clearly inefficient for workloads that don't feature
callbacks everywhere all the time.  This commit therefore adds an array
of masks that are used by the leaf srcu_node structures to track exactly
which srcu_data structures contain callbacks.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
