Subject: [GIT PULL rcu/urgent] Fixes for 3.16
Date: Tue, 24 Jun 2014 06:58:58 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140624135857.GA3203@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)

Hello, Ingo,

This series includes the following:

1.	Export a pair of debug-object interfaces for RCU that will
	allow the slab allocators to avoid a recursion bug located
	by Sasha Levin.  Strictly speaking, this is not a regression,
	but it would be good to enable the fix.

2.	Address a serious performance regression on an open/close
	micro-benchmark located by Dave Hansen.  The offending commit
	is ac1bea85781e (Make cond_resched() report RCU quiescent states).

Both have been exposed to -next testing, and are available in the git
repository at:

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulmck/linux-rcu.git urgent.2014.06.23a
