Paul E. McKenney 6136d6e48a rcu: Clamp ->dynticks_nmi_nesting at eqs entry/exit
In preparation for merging dyntick-idle irq handling into the NMI
algorithm, clamp ->dynticks_nmi_nesting value to allow for interrupts
that enter but never leave and vice versa.

It is important that the clamping happen outside of the extended quiescent
state.  Otherwise, there will be short windows where irqs and NMIs fail
to convince RCU to start watching.

============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
