Now that the (de-)offloading process can only apply to offline CPUs, there is no more concurrency between rcu_core and nocb kthreads. Also the mutation now happens on empty queues. Therefore the state machine can be reduced to a single bit called SEGCBLIST_OFFLOADED. Simplify the transition as follows: * Upon offloading: queue the rdp to be added to the rcuog list and wait for the rcuog kthread to set the SEGCBLIST_OFFLOADED bit. Unpark rcuo kthread. * Upon de-offloading: Park rcuo kthread. Queue the rdp to be removed from the rcuog list and wait for the rcuog kthread to clear the SEGCBLIST_OFFLOADED bit.

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 reStructuredText 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.
