If an SRCU reader blocks while a synchronize_srcu_expedited() waits for that same reader, then that grace period will spawn an endless series of workqueue handlers, consuming a full CPU. This quickly gets pointless because consuming more CPU isn't going to make that reader get done faster, especially if it is blocked waiting for an external event. This commit therefore spawns at most one pair of back-to-back workqueue handlers per expedited grace period phase, instead inserting increasing delays as that grace period phase grows older, but capped at 10 jiffies. In any case, if there have been at least 100 back-to-back workqueue handlers within a single jiffy, regardless of grace period or grace-period phase, then a one-jiffy delay is inserted.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
