    rcu: reduce __call_rcu()-induced contention on rcu_node structures · b52573d2
    Paul E. McKenney authored
    When the current __call_rcu() function was written, the expedited
    APIs did not exist.  The __call_rcu() implementation therefore went
    to great lengths to detect the end of old grace periods and to start
    new ones, all in the name of reducing grace-period latency.  Now the
    expedited APIs do exist, and the usage of __call_rcu() has increased
    considerably.  This commit therefore causes __call_rcu() to avoid
    worrying about grace periods unless there are a large number of
    RCU callbacks stacked up on the current CPU.
