Subject: [PATCH RFC tip/core/rcu 05/18] rcu: eliminate local variable lastcomp from force_quiescent_state()
Date: Tue, 15 Dec 2009 15:02:28 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <12609181612745-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.
Because rsp->fqs_active is set to 1 across force_quiescent_state()'s
switch statement, rcu_start_gp() will refrain from starting a new
grace period during this time. Therefore, rsp->gpnum is constant,
and can be propagated to all uses of lastcomp, eliminating this local
variable.
Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
