Subject: [PATCH 0/5] rcu_barrier: Resubmitting the the networking bits
Date: Fri, 26 Jun 2009 22:30:56 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090626202800.10520.2082.stgit@localhost> (raw)

This patchset is a resubmit of the network related part of a patchseries
titled "We must use rcu_barrier() on module unload".  Just to make it
easier for DaveM to pick it up.

If an unloadable module uses RCU callbacks, it need to use
rcu_barrier() so that the module may be safely unloaded.

For documentation see:

 Paul E. McKenney's Blog
 http://paulmck.livejournal.com/7314.html

 http://lwn.net/Articles/217484/

 Documentation/RCU/rcubarrier.txt

Patchset is made on top of Linus'es tree, 4075ea8c54a7506844a69f674990241e7766357b.
But I have testet is applies to net-next-2.6.

(resubmit this time hoping vger will not eat my mails due to missing double quotes)
