Subject: [PATCH] x86_64 : bring back __read_mostly support to linux-2.6.17-rc2
Date: Wed, 19 Apr 2006 15:30:01 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <44463B59.5070408@cosmosbay.com> (raw)
[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 226 bytes --]
It seems latest kernel (2.6.17-rc2) has a wrong/missing __read_mostly
implementation for x86_64
__read_mostly macro should be declared outside of #if CONFIG_X86_VSMP block
