From 62da1921292ef789c23a7bf01d671d7572baf377 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Paul E. McKenney" Date: Thu, 20 Sep 2012 16:02:49 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] rcu: Accelerate callbacks for CPU initiating a grace period Because grace-period initialization is carried out by a separate kthread, it might happen on a different CPU than the one that had the callback needing a grace period -- which is where the callback acceleration needs to happen. Fortunately, rcu_start_gp() holds the root rcu_node structure's ->lock, which prevents a new grace period from starting. This allows this function to safely determine that a grace period has not yet started, which in turn allows it to fully accelerate any callbacks that it has pending. This commit adds this acceleration. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney --- Reading git-format-patch failed
