    srcu: Remove checks preventing idle CPUs from calling srcu_read_lock() · 511a0868
    Lai Jiangshan authored
    SRCU has its own statemachine and no longer relies on normal RCU.
    Its read-side critical section can now be used by an offline CPU, so this
    commit removes the check and the comments, reverting the SRCU portion
    of ff195cb6 (rcu: Warn when srcu_read_lock() is used in an extended
    quiescent state).
    
    It also makes the codes match the comments in whatisRCU.txt:
    
    g.	Do you need read-side critical sections that are respected
    	even though they are in the middle of the idle loop, during
    	user-mode execution, or on an offlined CPU?  If so, SRCU is the
    	only choice that will work for you.
    
    [ paulmck: There is at least one remaining issue, namely use of lockdep
    	   with tracing enabled. ]
