[dm-devel] [PATCH v2 1/3] brd: extend the rcu regions to cover read and write

[Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@redhat.com>]

This patch extends the rcu regions, so that lookup followed by a read or
write of a page is done inside rcu read lock. This is needed for the
following patch that enables discard.
