    rcu: increase synchronize_sched_expedited() batching · e27fc964
    Tejun Heo authored
    The fix in commit #6a0cc49 requires more than three concurrent instances
    of synchronize_sched_expedited() before batching is possible.  This
    patch uses a ticket-counter-like approach that is also not unrelated to
    Lai Jiangshan's Ring RCU to allow sharing of expedited grace periods even
    when there are only two concurrent instances of synchronize_sched_expedited().
    
    This commit builds on Tejun's original posting, which may be found at

    , adding memory barriers, avoiding
    overflow of signed integers (other than via atomic_t), and fixing the
    detection of batching.
