Changes:

Make expedited grace periods expedite normal RCU callbacks

Miscellaneous fixes:
 * Improve diagnostic output with character task states.
 * Mark accesses to inform KCSAN of concurrency design.
 * Move from kmalloc() to kmalloc_obj().
 * Documentation updates.
 * Improve handling of RCU deferred quiescent states.
 * Clean up unused function arguments and structure fields.
 * Reduce show_rcu_gp_kthreads() stack space.

Tasks RCU updates:
 * Clean up after SRCU re-implementation of Tasks Trace RCU.
 * Mark accesses to inform KCSAN of concurrency design.
 * Add ->lazy_timer status to diagnostic output.
 * Remove an unnecessary memory barrier.
 * Fix a data race, courtesy of KCSAN.
 * Documentation updates.
 * Convert cond_resched_tasks_rcu_qs() from macro to static inline
   function.

SRCU updates:
 * Add Rust helpers for SRCU.
 * Avoid losing queued work at cleanup_srcu_struct() time.

Torture-test updates:
 * Preparation work for immediate RCU priority deboosting.
 * Test RCU readers from real interrupt handlers (as opposed to softirq).
 * Simplify code through use of cpumask_next_wrap().
 * Improve diagnostic output with character task states.
 * Add rcutorture.nwriters parameter to allow lightweight stall testing,
   and rcutorture.stall_only to make doing so easier.
 * Test an RCU Tasks Trace grace period implying an RCU grace period.
 * Make RCU Tasks Trace torturing track reader batches.
 * Fix a data race, courtesy of KCSAN.
 * Plug a shuffle_tmp_mask memory leak on kthread spawn failure.

+What:		/sys/block/loopX/loop/autoclear
+Date:		Aug, 2010
+KernelVersion:	v2.6.37
+Contact:	linux-block@vger.kernel.org
+Description:
+		(RO) Shows if the device is in autoclear mode or not ( "1" or
+		"0"). Autoclear (if set) indicates that the loopback device will
+		self-distruct after last close.

+What:		/sys/block/loopX/loop/backing_file
+Date:		Aug, 2010
+KernelVersion:	v2.6.37
+Contact:	linux-block@vger.kernel.org
+Description:
+		(RO) The path of the backing file that the loop device maps its
+		data blocks to.

+Date:		Aug, 2010
+KernelVersion:	v2.6.37
+Contact:	linux-block@vger.kernel.org
+Description:

+Description:

+Description:
+		(RO) Shows if automatic partition scanning is enabled for the
+		device or not ("1" or "0"). This can be requested individually
+		per loop device during its setup by setting LO_FLAGS_PARTSCAN in
+		in the ioctl request. By default, no partition tables are

+Contact:	linux-block@vger.kernel.org
+Description:

+		not ("1 or "0").
