Paul E. McKenney 058d62a03e rcu: Don't deboost before reporting expedited quiescent state 
commit 10c5357874 upstream.

Currently rcu_preempt_deferred_qs_irqrestore() releases rnp->boost_mtx
before reporting the expedited quiescent state.  Under heavy real-time
load, this can result in this function being preempted before the
quiescent state is reported, which can in turn prevent the expedited grace
period from completing.  Tim Murray reports that the resulting expedited
grace periods can take hundreds of milliseconds and even more than one
second, when they should normally complete in less than a millisecond.

This was fine given that there were no particular response-time
constraints for synchronize_rcu_expedited(), as it was designed
for throughput rather than latency.  However, some users now need
sub-100-millisecond response-time constratints.

This patch therefore follows Neeraj's suggestion (seconded by Tim and
by Uladzislau Rezki) of simply reversing the two operations.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
