Subject[PATCH v3 0/5] RCU dyntick nesting counter cleanups for rcu -dev
Date
These patches clean up the usage of dynticks nesting counters simplifying the
code, while preserving the usecases.

It is a much needed simplification, makes the code less confusing, and prevents
future bugs such as those that arise from forgetting that the
dynticks_nmi_nesting counter is not a simple counter and can be "crowbarred" in
common situations.

rcutorture testing with all TREE RCU configurations succeed with
CONFIG_RCU_EQS_DEBUG=y and CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING=y.

v1->v2:
- Rebase on v5.6-rc6

v2->v3:
- Rebase on rcu/dev with adjustments for tasks-RCU.

Joel Fernandes (Google) (4):
Revert b8c17e6664c4 ("rcu: Maintain special bits at bottom of
->dynticks counter")
rcu/tree: Add better tracing for dyntick-idle
rcu/tree: Clean up dynticks counter usage
rcu/tree: Remove dynticks_nmi_nesting counter
