This is the value used for acceleration - it is the value of gp_seq at which it is safe the execute all callbacks in the callback list. The rdp's gp_seq is not very useful for this scenario. Make rcu_grace_period report the gp_seq_req instead as it allows one to reason about how the acceleration works. Signed-off-by: Joel Fernandes (Google) <joel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Paul E.
