Linux kernel source tree

Allow a brief period for continued access to a dead intel_context by deferring the release of the struct until after an RCU grace period. As we are using a dedicated slab cache for the contexts, we can defer the release of the slab pages via RCU, with the caveat that individual structs may be reused from the freelist within an RCU grace period. To handle that, we have to avoid clearing members of the zombie struct. This is required for a later patch to handle locking around virtual requests in the signaler, as those requests may want to move between engines and be destroyed while we are holding b->irq_lock on a physical engine. v2: Drop mutex_reinit(), if we never mark the mutex as destroyed we don't need to reset the debug code, at the loss of having the mutex debug code spot us attempting to destroy a locked mutex. v3: As the intended use will remain strongly referenced counted, with very little inflight access across reuse, drop the ctor. v4: Drop the unrequired change to remove the temporary reference around dropping the active context, and add back some more missing ctor operations. v5: The ctor is back. Tvrtko spotted that ce->signal_lock [introduced later] maybe accessed under RCU and so needs special care not to be reinitialised. v6: Don't mix SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU and RCU list iteration.

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.
