Joel Fernandes (Google) 8ac88f7177 rcu/tree: Keep kfree_rcu() awake during lock contention
On PREEMPT_RT kernels, the krcp spinlock gets converted to an rt-mutex
and causes kfree_rcu() callers to sleep. This makes it unusable for
callers in purely atomic sections such as non-threaded IRQ handlers and
raw spinlock sections. Fix it by converting the spinlock to a raw
spinlock.

Vetting all code paths, there is no reason to believe that the raw
spinlock will hurt RT latencies as it is not held for a long time.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
