rcu/nocb: Allow lockless use of rcu_segcblist_empty()
Currently, rcu_segcblist_empty() assumes that the callback list is not being changed by other CPUs, but upcoming changes will require it to operate locklessly. This commit therefore adds the needed READ_ONCE() call, along with the WRITE_ONCE() calls when updating the callback list's ->head field. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.ibm.com>
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.
