Subject: [PATCHv2] vhost: rcu annotation fixup
Date: Tue, 18 Jan 2011 20:08:13 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110118180813.GA18757@redhat.com> (raw)
When built with rcu checks enabled, vhost triggers
bogus warnings as vhost features are read without
dev->mutex sometimes, and private pointer is read
with our kind of rcu where work serves as a
read side critical section.
Fixing it properly is not trivial.
Disable the warnings by stubbing out the checks for now.
