Now that synchronize_rcu() waits for preempt-disable regions of code as well as RCU read-side critical sections, synchronize_sched() can be replaced by synchronize_rcu(). This commit therefore makes this change, even though it is but a comment. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.ibm.com>

Now that all RCU flavors have been consolidated, rcu_barrier_bh() is but a synonym for rcu_barrier(). This commit therefore replaces the former with the latter. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

Now that call_rcu()'s callback is not invoked until after bh-disable and preempt-disable regions of code have completed (in addition to explicitly marked RCU read-side critical sections), call_rcu() can be used in place of call_rcu_bh() and call_rcu_sched().

In RCU, the distinction between "rsp", "rnp", and "rdp" has served well for a great many years, but in SRCU, "sp" vs. "sdp" has proven confusing. This commit therefore renames SRCU's "sp" pointers to "ssp", so that there is "ssp" for srcu_struct pointer, "snp" for srcu_node pointer, and "sdp" for srcu_data pointer. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.ibm.com>

The srcu_gp_start() function is called with the srcu_struct structure's ->lock held, but not with the srcu_data structure's ->lock. This is problematic because this function accesses and updates the srcu_data structure's ->srcu_cblist, which is protected by that lock. Failing to hold this lock can result in corruption of the SRCU callback lists, which in turn can result in arbitrarily bad results. This commit therefore makes srcu_gp_start() acquire the srcu_data structure's ->lock across the calls to rcu_segcblist_advance() and rcu_segcblist_accelerate(), thus preventing this corruption.
