Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 0/11] rcu: suppress GP start to simplify force_quiescent_state()
Date: Mon, 4 Jan 2010 15:08:50 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100104230850.GA22111@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
Hello!
This patch series makes a sequence of changes that prevent a new RCU
grace period from starting while force_quiescent_state() is the the
process of trying to cause the prior grace period to complete. This
simplifies the code and eliminates numerous painful race conditions.
Thanx, Paul
