Hello! This series fixes a bug in which an RCU-priority-boosted task can stay boosted for some time after it has exited its RCU read-side critical section. This bug arose during the RCU flavor consolidation effort. The patches are as follows: 1. Expedite deboost in case of deferred quiescent state. 2. Make TREE03 use real-time tree.use_softirq setting. 3. Run rcuo kthreads at elevated priority in CONFIG_RCU_BOOST kernels. 4. Fix testing of RCU priority boosting.
