Merge tag 'rcu.6.4.april5.2023.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jfern/linux

Pull RCU updates from Joel Fernandes:

 - Updates and additions to MAINTAINERS files, with Boqun being added to
   the RCU entry and Zqiang being added as an RCU reviewer.

   I have also transitioned from reviewer to maintainer; however, Paul
   will be taking over sending RCU pull-requests for the next merge
   window.

 - Resolution of hotplug warning in nohz code, achieved by fixing
   cpu_is_hotpluggable() through interaction with the nohz subsystem.

   Tick dependency modifications by Zqiang, focusing on fixing usage of
   the TICK_DEP_BIT_RCU_EXP bitmask.

 - Avoid needless calls to the rcu-lazy shrinker for CONFIG_RCU_LAZY=n
   kernels, fixed by Zqiang.

 - Improvements to rcu-tasks stall reporting by Neeraj.

 - Initial renaming of k[v]free_rcu() to k[v]free_rcu_mightsleep() for
   increased robustness, affecting several components like mac802154,
   drbd, vmw_vmci, tracing, and more.

   A report by Eric Dumazet showed that the API could be unknowingly
   used in an atomic context, so we'd rather make sure they know what
   they're asking for by being explicit:

      https://lore.kernel.org/all/20221202052847.2623997-1-edumazet@google.com/

 - Documentation updates, including corrections to spelling,
   clarifications in comments, and improvements to the srcu_size_state
   comments.

 - Better srcu_struct cache locality for readers, by adjusting the size
   of srcu_struct in support of SRCU usage by Christoph Hellwig.

 - Teach lockdep to detect deadlocks between srcu_read_lock() vs
   synchronize_srcu() contributed by Boqun.

   Previously lockdep could not detect such deadlocks, now it can.

 - Integration of rcutorture and rcu-related tools, targeted for v6.4
   from Boqun's tree, featuring new SRCU deadlock scenarios, test_nmis
   module parameter, and more

 - Miscellaneous changes, various code cleanups and comment improvements
