Subject[PATCH tip/core/rcu 12/12] rcu: Make rcu_accelerate_cbs() note need for future grace periods
Date
From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paul.mckenney@linaro.org>

Now that rcu_start_future_gp() has been abstracted from
rcu_nocb_wait_gp(), rcu_accelerate_cbs() can invoke rcu_start_future_gp()
so as to register the need for any future grace periods needed by a
CPU about to enter dyntick-idle mode. This commit makes this change.
Note that some refactoring of rcu_start_gp() is carried out to avoid
recursion and subsequent self-deadlocks.
