From b92db6cb7efcbd41e469e1d757c47da4865f7622 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Paul E. McKenney" Date: Sat, 29 Dec 2012 14:52:41 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] rcu: Rearrange locking in rcu_start_gp() 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 first step in this direction by moving the release of this lock to the end of rcu_start_gp(). Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney Signed-off-by: Paul E.
