Subject[PATCH tip/core/rcu 0/14] Preemptible-RCU updates for 3.20
Hello!

This series fixes some problems in preemptible RCU.

1. Protect rcu_boost() lockless accesses with ACCESS_ONCE().

2-11. Fix a low-probability long-standing bug in preemptible RCU that
could occur in systems with more than 16 CPUs, but only if a full
bank of 16 CPUs (as in 0-15, 16-31, 32-47, ...) was taken offline.
See http://paulmck.livejournal.com/37782.html for more details.

12. Revert old commit that worked around an rt_mutex bug. This old
commit could cause priority inversion, and the rt_mutex bug has
long since been fixed. Courtesy of Lai Jiangshan.

13. Simplify grace-period code, enabled by 2-11 above.

14. Remove redundant RCU callback list initialization.

Thanx, Paul
