Subject: [PATCH RFC 04/12] rcu/segcblist: Factor out rcu_segcblist_advance_compact() helper
Date: Thu, 30 Jul 2026 17:57:24 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260731005732.3530999-4-paulmck@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <58bcd561-0520-43ff-95b0-1ed10e1e3bff@paulmck-laptop>
From: Puranjay Mohan <puranjay@kernel.org>
This commit extracts the tail-pointer cleanup and segment compaction
logic from rcu_segcblist_advance() into a new static helper function,
rcu_segcblist_advance_compact(). This shared logic will be reused by the
upcoming srcu_segcblist_advance() standalone implementation, which
cannot call the core rcu_segcblist_advance() because that function will
use RCU-specific globals.
No functional change.
