Subject: [PATCH RFC tip/core/rcu 02/18] rcu: adjust force_quiescent_state() locking, step 2
Date: Tue, 15 Dec 2009 15:02:25 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <12609181611638-git-send-email-> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20091215230213.GA9093@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

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

Proposed for 2.6.34, not for inclusion.

This patch releases rnp->lock after the end of force_quiescent_state()'s
switch statement.  This is a second step towards prohibiting starting
grace periods while force_quiescent_state() is executing, which will
reduce the number and complexity of races that force_quiescent_state()
is involved in.
