Currently SEGCBLIST_SOFTIRQ_ONLY is a bit of an exception among the segcblist flags because it is an exclusive state that doesn't mix up with the other flags. Remove it in favour of: _ A flag specifying that rcu_core() needs to perform callbacks execution and acceleration and _ A flag specifying we want the nocb lock to be held in any needed circumstances This clarifies the code and is more flexible: It allows to have a state where rcu_core() runs with locking while offloading hasn't started yet. This is a necessary step to prepare for triggering rcu_core() at the very beginning of the de-offloading process so that rcu_core() won't dismiss work while being preempted by the de-offloading process, at least not without a pending subsequent rcu_core() that will quickly catch up.

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.
