Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 6/7] rcu: apply TINY_PREEMPT_RCU read-side speedup to TREE_PREEMPT_RCU
Date: Fri, 20 Aug 2010 11:45:44 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1282329945-26043-6-git-send-email-paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20100820184521.GA24715@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

Replace one of the ACCESS_ONCE() calls in each of __rcu_read_lock()
and __rcu_read_unlock() with barrier() as suggested by Steve Rostedt in
order to avoid the potential compiler-optimization-induced bug noted by
Mathieu Desnoyers.
