Merge tag 'rcu-urgent.2022.07.21a' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulmck/linux-rcu

Pull RCU fix from Paul McKenney:
 "This contains a pair of commits that fix 282d8998 ("srcu: Prevent
  expedited GPs and blocking readers from consuming CPU"), which was
  itself a fix to an SRCU expedited grace-period problem that could
  prevent kernel live patching (KLP) from completing.

  That SRCU fix for KLP introduced large (as in minutes) boot-time
  delays to embedded Linux kernels running on qemu/KVM. These delays
  were due to the emulation of certain MMIO operations controlling
  memory layout, which were emulated with one expedited grace period per
  access. Common configurations required thousands of boot-time MMIO
  accesses, and thus thousands of boot-time expedited SRCU grace
  periods.

  In these configurations, the occasional sleeps that allowed KLP to
  proceed caused excessive boot delays. These commits preserve enough
  sleeps to permit KLP to proceed, but few enough that the virtual
  embedded kernels still boot reasonably quickly.

  This represents a regression introduced in the v5.19 merge window, and
  the bug is causing significant inconvenience"
