Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 0/2] rcu: further grace-period processing cleanups
Date: Thu, 12 Nov 2009 22:34:39 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20091113063439.GA560@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)

This patch set provides a couple of additional grace-period-processing
cleanups:

1.	Propagate ->completed through the rcu_node hierarchy
	when RCU goes idle to prevent an additional needless
	grace period from being started.

2.	Make force_quiescent_state() take a snapshot of ->gpnum-1
	rather than ->completed for consistency with rcu_sched_qs()
	and friends.
