Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 0/14] Fixups for 3.6
Date: Fri, 15 Jun 2012 13:12:56 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120615201256.GA26120@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)

Hello!

This patch series has general fixups and improvements:

1.	Get rid of the false positives from the code that recognizes
	a CPU stall that ends just as it is detected.
2.	Consolidate open-coded initializations of RCU callback lists.
3.	Protect unsynchronized accesses to ->qlen with ACCESS_ONCE()
	to document the unsynchronized access and to prevent compiler
	mischief.
4.	Add INIT_RCU_POINTER() for static initialization to allow
	do-while formulation of the existing RCU_INIT_POINTER().
5.	Convert clever use of RCU_INIT_POINTER() for gcc-style
	initialization to INIT_RCU_POINTER().
6.	Wrap RCU_INIT_POINTER() macro in obligatory do-while.
7.	Remove extraneous parentheses from rcu_assign_keypointer()
	to allow rcu_assign_pointer() to be wrapped in do-while.
8.	Wrap rcu_assign_pointer() macro in obligatory do-while.
9.	Consolidate the identical CONFIG_TREE_PREEMPT_RCU and
	CONFIG_TINY_PREEMPT_RCU versions of __rcu_read_lock() and
	__rcu_read_unlock().
10.	Remove the old inline-function version of __kfree_rcu() and
	__is_kfree_rcu_offset().
11.	Make __call_rcu() correctly handle calls from the idle loop.
12.	Make __call_rcu() correctly handle calls from a CPU that is
	in the process of going offline.
13.	Split __call_rcu() into the part that actually deals with
	enqueueing the callback and the part that kicks RCU's
	grace-period machinery.
14.	Make RCU_TINY's rcu_is_cpu_idle() function safe for "make
	randconfig".

							Thanx, Paul
