[PATCH tip/core/rcu 13/21] rcu: Clear request other than RCU_GP_FLAG_INIT at GP end

From: Paul E. McKenney
Date: Sun Apr 22 2018 - 23:04:36 EST


Once the grace period has ended, any RCU_GP_FLAG_FQS requests are
irrelevant: The grace period has ended, so there is no longer any
point in forcing quiescent states in order to try to make it end sooner.
This commit therefore causes rcu_gp_cleanup() to clear any bits other
than RCU_GP_FLAG_INIT from ->gp_flags at the end of the grace period.
