    Subject[patch] RCU: introduce rcu_soon_pending() interface
    From: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com>

    Introduce rcu_soon_pending() interface. This can be used to tell if there
    will be a new rcu batch on a cpu soon by looking at the curlist pointer.
    This can be used to avoid to enter a tickless idle state where the cpu
    would miss that a new batch is ready when rcu_start_batch would be called
    on a different cpu.
