Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 0/3] rcu: fix !PREEMPT, __mpol_dup(), and ftrace_perf_buf_prepare() RCU lockdep splats
Date: Wed, 3 Mar 2010 17:50:01 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100304015001.GA32190@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)

Hello!

This patch fixes three RCU lockdep issues:

1.	Makes rcu_read_lock_sched_held() correctly handle !PREEMPT
	kernels.

2.	Suppresses __mpol_dup() false positive.

3.	Converts a pair of rcu_dereference() calls in
	ftrace_perf_buf_prepare() to rcu_dereference_sched().

There are probably more where these came from.  ;-)

							Thanx, Paul
