Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 0/3] rcu: resend of grace-period stall and cleanup patches
Date: Sun, 22 Nov 2009 08:53:21 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20091122165321.GA19922@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
Hello!
This patch series is a resend of the three RCU patches that are candidates
for the upcoming 2.6.33 merge window, but that are not yet in -tip.
These are:
1. A fix for a grace-period-stall bug that occurs on large
machines. This was partially fixed by commit 237c80c5,
and this patch completes the fix using a much cleaner
method. 237c80c5 would request another quiescent state
for a CPU that just went offline and that might have already
gone through a quiescent state for the current grace period.
In contrast, this patch pushes the quiescent-state reporting
up the rcu_node tree straightaway.
2. A cleanup removing function wrapping that has been unnecessary
since commit e74f4c45 caused CPUs going offline to give up
their own callbacks.
3. A cleanup that gets rid of a few annoying #ifdefs by moving
the code from kernel/rcupdate.c and include/linux/rcupdate.h
to include/linux/rcutiny.h, include/linux/rcutree.h, and
kernel/rcutree.c.
Thanx, Paul
