    Subject[PATCH tip/core/rcu 07/11] rcu: eliminate rcu_process_dyntick() return value
    Date
    From: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

    Because a new grace period cannot start while we are executing within the
    force_quiescent_state() function's switch statement, if any test within
    that switch statement or within any function called from that switch
    statement shows that the current grace period has ended, we can safely
    re-do that test any time before we leave the switch statement. This
    means that we no longer need a return value from rcu_process_dyntick(),
    as we can simply invoke rcu_gp_in_progress() to check whether the old
    grace period has finished -- there is no longer any need to worry about
    whether or not a new grace period has been started.
