6.6-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Paul E. McKenney paulmck@kernel.org
commit 6b70399f9ef3809f6e308fd99dd78b072c1bd05c upstream.
This commit continues the elimination of deadlocks involving do_exit() and RCU tasks by causing exit_tasks_rcu_start() to add the current task to a per-CPU list and causing exit_tasks_rcu_stop() to remove the current task from whatever list it is on. These lists will be used to track tasks that are exiting, while still accounting for any RCU-tasks quiescent states that these tasks pass though.
[ paulmck: Apply Frederic Weisbecker feedback. ]
