    rcu: Abstract dynticks extended quiescent state enter/exit operations · 2625d469
    Paul E. McKenney authored
    This commit is the third step towards full abstraction of all accesses
    to the ->dynticks counter, implementing the previously open-coded atomic
    add of 1 and entry checks in a new rcu_dynticks_eqs_enter() function, and
    the same but with exit checks in a new rcu_dynticks_eqs_exit() function.
    This abstraction will ease changes to the ->dynticks counter operation.
    
    Note that this commit gets rid of the smp_mb__before_atomic() and the
    smp_mb__after_atomic() calls that were previously present.  The reason
    that this is OK from a memory-ordering perspective is that the atomic
    operation is now atomic_add_return(), which, as a value-returning atomic,
    guarantees full ordering.
