[PATCH tip/core/rcu 0/2] rcu: further grace-period processingcleanups

From: Paul E. McKenney
Date: Fri Nov 13 2009 - 01:34:27 EST


This patch set provides a couple of additional grace-period-processing
cleanups:

1. Propagate ->completed through the rcu_node hierarchy
when RCU goes idle to prevent an additional needless
grace period from being started.

2. Make force_quiescent_state() take a snapshot of ->gpnum-1
rather than ->completed for consistency with rcu_sched_qs()
and friends.
