Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 2/3] Apply results of code inspection of kernel/rcutree_plugin.h
Date: Fri, 18 Sep 2009 09:50:18 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <12532926201851-git-send-email-> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20090918164955.GA22272@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

From: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

o	Drop the calls to cpu_quiet() from the online/offline code.
	These are unnecessary, since force_quiescent_state() will
	clean up, and removing them simplifies the code a bit.

o	Add a warning to check that we don't enqueue the same blocked
	task twice onto the ->blocked_tasks[] lists.

o	Rework the phase computation in rcu_preempt_note_context_switch()
	to be more readable, as suggested by Josh Triplett.

o	Disable irqs to close a race between the scheduling clock
	interrupt and rcu_preempt_note_context_switch() WRT the
	->rcu_read_unlock_special field.

o	Add comments to rnp->lock acquisition and release within
	rcu_read_unlock_special() noting that irqs are already
	disabled.
