Hi Linus,
Please pull this for the RCU changes of v6.9:
The following changes since commit 41bccc98fb7931d63d03f326a746ac4d429c1dd3:
Linux 6.8-rc2 (2024-01-28 17:01:12 -0800)
are available in the Git repository at:

Two merge conflicts were detected by linux-next:
* https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20240226135745.12ac854d@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/
* https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20240227125522.2bdbe6be@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/
These conflict resolutions from linux-next look good to me, plus I made
my own resolutions at branch merge/rcu.2024.02.27a for your reference.
Some highlights of the changes:
* Eliminates deadlocks involving do_exit() and RCU tasks, by Paul:
Instead of SRCU read side critical sections, now a percpu list is used
in do_exit() for scaning yet-to-exit tasks.
* Fixes a deadlock due to the dependency between workqueue and RCU
expedited grace period, reported by Anna-Maria Behnsen and Thomas
Gleixner and fixed by Frederic: Now RCU expedited always uses its own
kthread worker instead of a workqueue.
Regards,
Boqun
