[PATCH rcu 1/7] rcu: Ignore rdp.cpu_no_qs.b.exp on preemptible RCU's rcu_qs()

From: Paul E. McKenney
Date: Wed Dec 01 2021 - 19:13:36 EST


From: Frederic Weisbecker <frederic@xxxxxxxxxx>

Preemptible RCU does not use the rcu_data structure's ->cpu_no_qs.b.exp,
instead using a separate ->exp_deferred_qs field to record the need for
an expedited quiescent state.

In fact ->cpu_no_qs.b.exp should never be set in preemptible RCU because
preemptible RCU's expedited grace periods use other mechanisms to record
quiescent states.

This commit therefore removes the implicit rcu_qs() reference to
->cpu_no_qs.b.exp in favor of a direct reference to ->cpu_no_qs.b.norm.
