The start_poll_synchronize_rcu() API compresses the combined expedited and normal grace-period states into a single unsigned long, which conserves storage, but can miss grace periods in certain cases involving overlapping normal and expedited grace periods. Missing the occasional grace period is usually not a problem, but there are use cases that care about each and every grace period. This commit therefore adds the next member of the full-state RCU grace-period polling API, namely the start_poll_synchronize_rcu_full() function. This uses up to three times the storage (rcu_gp_oldstate structure instead of unsigned long), but is guaranteed not to miss grace periods. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@kernel.org>
