From b8462084a2a88a6a0489f9bb7d8b1bb95bc455ab Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Paul E. McKenney" Date: Sat, 29 Dec 2012 22:04:18 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] rcu: Push lock release to rcu_start_gp()'s callers If CPUs are to give prior notice of needed grace periods, it will be necessary to invoke rcu_start_gp() without dropping the root rcu_node structure's ->lock. This commit takes a second step in this direction by moving the release of this lock to rcu_start_gp()'s callers. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney Signed-off-by: Paul E.
