Subject: [PATCH RFC v2 19/24] hazptr: Permit detaching hazard pointers from contexts
Date: Wed, 15 Jul 2026 17:18:04 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260716001809.11084-19-paulmck@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <23e34c2e-67fd-45da-b130-e70a131a59ea@paulmck-laptop>
From: Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com>
Provide a new hazptr_detach() function that detaches a given hazard
pointer from its acquisition context. This context might be a task or
an interrupt handler.
[ paulmck: s/hazptr_detach_from_task/hazptr_detach/ per Mathieu. ]
