Subject: [PATCH, minor] sched: check for SD_SERIALIZE atomically in rebalance_domains()
Date: Mon, 05 May 2008 23:46:19 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1210023979.6220.9.camel@earth> (raw)



Nothing really serious here, mainly just a matter of nit-picking :-/

Subject: sched: check for SD_SERIALIZE atomically in rebalance_domains()
    
For CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG && CONFIG_SYSCT configs, sd->flags can be altered
while being manipulated in rebalance_domains(). Let's do an atomic check.
We rely here on the atomicity of read/write accesses for aligned words.
