Currently, doing synchronize_rcu_mult(call_rcu, call_rcu) might (or might not) wait for two RCU grace periods. One approach is of course "don't do that!", but in CONFIG_PREEMPT=n kernels, synchronize_rcu_mult(call_rcu, call_rcu_sched) does exactly that. This results in an ugly #ifdef in sched_cpu_deactivate(). This commit therefore makes __wait_rcu_gp() check for duplicates, which in turn allows duplicates to be passed to synchronize_rcu_mult() without risk of waiting twice on the same type of grace period.

Linux kernel ============ 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 requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
