This commit makes Tree SRCU able to operate without an snp_node array, that is, when the srcu_data structures' ->mynode pointers are NULL. This can result in high contention on the srcu_struct structure's ->lock, but only when there are lots of call_srcu(), synchronize_srcu(), and synchronize_srcu_expedited() calls. Note that when there is no snp_node array, all SRCU callbacks use CPU 0's callback queue. This is optimal in the common case of low update-side load because it removes the need to search each CPU for the single callback that made the grace period happen.

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.
