rcu: Provide polling interfaces for Tiny RCU grace periods
There is a need for a non-blocking polling interface for RCU grace periods, so this commit supplies start_poll_synchronize_rcu() and poll_state_synchronize_rcu() for this purpose. Note that the existing get_state_synchronize_rcu() may be used if future grace periods are inevitable (perhaps due to a later call_rcu() invocation). The new start_poll_synchronize_rcu() is to be used if future grace periods might not otherwise happen. Finally, poll_state_synchronize_rcu() provides a lockless check for a grace period having elapsed since the corresponding call to either of the get_state_synchronize_rcu() or start_poll_synchronize_rcu(). As with get_state_synchronize_rcu(), the return value from either get_state_synchronize_rcu() or start_poll_synchronize_rcu() is passed in to a later call to either poll_state_synchronize_rcu() or the existing (might_sleep) cond_synchronize_rcu(). [ paulmck: Revert cond_synchronize_rcu() to might_sleep() per Frederic Weisbecker feedback. ] Reviewed-by: Frederic Weisbecker <frederic@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Paul E.
