Paul E. McKenney 0607ba8403 srcu: Prevent __call_srcu() counter wrap with read-side critical section 
Ever since cdf7abc461 ("srcu: Allow use of Tiny/Tree SRCU from
both process and interrupt context"), it has been permissible
to use SRCU read-side critical sections in interrupt context.
This allows __call_srcu() to use SRCU read-side critical sections to
prevent a new SRCU grace period from ending before the call to either
srcu_funnel_gp_start() or srcu_funnel_exp_start completes, thus preventing
SRCU grace-period counter overflow during that time.

Note that this does not permit removal of the counter-wrap checks in
srcu_gp_end().  These check are necessary to handle the case where
a given CPU does not interact at all with SRCU for an extended time
period.

This commit therefore adds an SRCU read-side critical section to
__call_srcu() in order to prevent grace period counter wrap during
the funnel-locking process.

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.
