Although the name rcu_process_callbacks() still makes sense for Tiny RCU, where most of what it does is invoke callbacks, it no longer makes much sense for Tree RCU, especially given that the actually callback invocation is relegated to rcu_do_batch(), or, for no-CBs CPUs, to the rcuo kthreads. Especially in the latter case, rcu_process_callbacks() has very little to do with actual callbacks. A better description of this function is that it performs RCU's core processing. This commit therefore changes the name of Tree RCU's rcu_process_callbacks() function to rcu_core(), which also has the virtue of being consistent with the existing invoke_rcu_core() function. While in the area, the header comment is reworked. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.ibm.com> |

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.
