Merge branch 'for-mingo' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulmck/linux-rcu into core/rcu
Pull RCU and LKMM changes from Paul E. McKenney: - A few more RCU flavor consolidation cleanups. - Miscellaneous fixes. - Updates to RCU's list-traversal macros improving lockdep usability. - Torture-test updates. - Forward-progress improvements for no-CBs CPUs: Avoid ignoring incoming callbacks during grace-period waits. - Forward-progress improvements for no-CBs CPUs: Use ->cblist structure to take advantage of others' grace periods. - Also added a small commit that avoids needlessly inflicting scheduler-clock ticks on callback-offloaded CPUs. - Forward-progress improvements for no-CBs CPUs: Reduce contention on ->nocb_lock guarding ->cblist. - Forward-progress improvements for no-CBs CPUs: Add ->nocb_bypass list to further reduce contention on ->nocb_lock guarding ->cblist. - LKMM updates.
