[PATCH tip/core/rcu 2/9] rcu: add lockdep-enabled variants of rcu_dereference()

Paul E. McKenney
2010-01-15T01:03:09Z

Make rcu_dereference() check for being in an RCU read-side critical
section, and create rcu_dereference_bh(), rcu_dereference_sched(), and
srcu_dereference() to check for the other flavors of RCU. Also create
rcu_dereference_raw() to avoid checking, and make rcu_dereference_check()
use rcu_dereference_raw().
