    srcu: Expedite srcu_schedule_cbs_snp() callback invocation · 0497b489
    Paul E. McKenney authored
    Although Tree SRCU does reduce delays when there is at least one
    synchronize_srcu_expedited() invocation pending, srcu_schedule_cbs_snp()
    still waits for SRCU_INTERVAL before invoking callbacks.  Since
    synchronize_srcu_expedited() now posts a callback and waits for
    that callback to do a wakeup, this destroys the expedited nature of
    synchronize_srcu_expedited().  This destruction became apparent to
    Marc Zyngier in the guise of a guest-OS bootup slowdown from five
    seconds to no fewer than forty seconds.
    
    This commit therefore invokes callbacks immediately at the end of the
    grace period when there is at least one synchronize_srcu_expedited()
    invocation pending.  This brought Marc's guest-OS bootup times back
    into the realm of reason.
