    rcu: Define RCU-bh update API in terms of RCU · 65cfe358
    Paul E. McKenney authored
    Now that the main RCU API knows about softirq disabling and softirq's
    quiescent states, the RCU-bh update code can be dispensed with.
    This commit therefore removes the RCU-bh update-side implementation and
    defines RCU-bh's update-side API in terms of that of either RCU-preempt or
    RCU-sched, depending on the setting of the CONFIG_PREEMPT Kconfig option.
    
    In kernels built with CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU=y this has the knock-on effect
    of reducing by one the number of rcuo kthreads per CPU.
