Merge branch 'urgent-for-mingo' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulmck/linux-rcu into core/urgent
Pull two RCU fixes from Paul E. McKenney:
" - Complete the work of commit dd56af42bd82 (rcu: Eliminate deadlock
between CPU hotplug and expedited grace periods), which was
intended to allow synchronize_sched_expedited() to be safely
used when holding locks acquired by CPU-hotplug notifiers.
This commit makes the put_online_cpus() avoid the deadlock
instead of just handling the get_online_cpus().
- Complete the work of commit 35ce7f29a44a (rcu: Create rcuo
kthreads only for onlined CPUs), which was intended to allow
RCU to avoid allocating unneeded kthreads on systems where the
firmware says that there are more CPUs than are really present.
This commit makes rcu_barrier() aware of the mismatch, so that
it doesn't hang waiting for non-existent CPUs. "
