Hello, Ingo,

This series enables srcu_read_lock() and srcu_read_unlock to be used from
interrupt handlers, which fixes a bug in KVM's use of SRCU in delivery
of interrupts to guest OSes.  These patches have been exposed to 0day
Test Robot and to -next testing, have been tested by the KVM folks,
and were posted to LKML:

http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170605220919.GA27820@linux.vnet.ibm.com

These changes, based on v4.2-rc4, are available in the git repository at:

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulmck/linux-rcu.git rcu/urgent

for you to fetch changes up to 1123a6041654e8f889014659593bad4168e542c2:
