Subject: [PATCH] [9/9] SYSCTL: Use RCU protected sysctl for ocfs group add helper
Date: Tue, 5 Jan 2010 03:15:34 +0100 (CET) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100105021534.41436B17C2@basil.firstfloor.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20100105315.789846878@firstfloor.org>
This avoids races with unlocked sysctl()
Also saves ~220 bytes in the data segment.
