In preparation for adding support for SRCU, rename "crit" to "rcu-rscs", rename "rscs" to "rcu-rscsi", and remove the restriction to only the outermost level of nesting. The name change is needed for disambiguating RCU read-side critical sections from SRCU read-side critical sections. Adding the "i" at the end of "rcu-rscsi" emphasizes that the relation is inverted; it links rcu_read_unlock() events to their corresponding preceding rcu_read_lock() events. The restriction to outermost nesting levels was never essential; it was included mostly to show that it could be done. Rather than add equivalent unnecessary code for SRCU lock nesting, it seemed better to remove the existing code. Signed-off-by: Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

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.
