John,
Please write better change logs. Do not assume that people are looking at the patch while looking at the logs. I mostly read change logs as "git log" which doesn't include the changes, and most other developers do this too. The above sentence does not make any real sense.
Something like:
synchronize_rcu_bh() is not just called as a normal function, but can also be referenced as a function pointer. When CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT_FULL is enabled, synchronize_rcu_bh() is defined as synchronize_rcu(), but needs to be defined without the parenthesis because the compiler will complain when synchronize_rcu_bh is referenced as a function pointer and not a function.
