[PATCH tip/core/rcu 03/86] rcu: merge TREE_PREEPT_RCU blocked_tasks[] lists

Paul E. McKenney
2011-05-01T13:39:33Z

From: Paul E. McKenney <paul.mckenney@linaro.org>

Combine the current TREE_PREEMPT_RCU ->blocked_tasks[] lists in the
rcu_node structure into a single ->blkd_tasks list with ->gp_tasks
and ->exp_tasks tail pointers. This is in preparation for RCU priority
boosting, which will add a third dimension to the combinatorial explosion
in the ->blocked_tasks[] case, but simply a third pointer in the new
->blkd_tasks case.
