[PATCH tip/core/rcu 2/2] rcu: simplify association of forced quiescent states with grace periods

From: Paul E. McKenney
Date: Fri Nov 13 2009 - 01:35:06 EST


From: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The force_quiescent_state() function also took a snapshot
of the ->completed field, which was as obnoxious as it was in
rcu_sched_qs() and friends. So snapshot ->gpnum-1. Also, since the
dyntick_record_completed() and dyntick_recall_completed() functions are
now simple assignments that are independent of CONFIG_NO_HZ, and since
their names are now misleading, get rid of them.
