| |
Hello!
This series fixes some problems in preemptible RCU.
1. Protect rcu_boost() lockless accesses with ACCESS_ONCE().
2-11. Fix a low-probability long-standing bug in preemptible RCU that could occur in systems with more than 16 CPUs, but only if a full bank of 16 CPUs (as in 0-15, 16-31, 32-47, ...) was taken offline. See http://paulmck.livejournal.com/37782.html for more details.
12. Revert old commit that worked around an rt_mutex bug. This old commit could cause priority inversion, and the rt_mutex bug has long since been fixed. Courtesy of Lai Jiangshan.
13. Simplify grace-period code, enabled by 2-11 above.
14. Remove redundant RCU callback list initialization.
Thanx, Paul
