Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: use synchronize_rcu() with rcu_barrier()
Date: Thu, 18 Apr 2013 18:04:43 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130418220443.GB3759@localhost> (raw)

The RCU docs used to state that rcu_barrier() included a wait
for an RCU grace period; however the comments for rcu_barrier()
as of commit f0a0e6f... "rcu: Clarify memory-ordering properties
of grace-period primitives" contradict this.

So add back synchronize_{rcu,net}() to where they once were,
but keep the rcu_barrier()s for the call_rcu() callbacks.
