Subject: [PATCH] rcu_do_batch: make ->qlen decrement irq safe
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.18~13^2~18
X-Git-Url: https://err.no/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=dd9daa221e77f642954849a795fa7c59533a9b2f;p=linux-2.6

[PATCH] rcu_do_batch: make ->qlen decrement irq safe

rcu_do_batch() decrements rdp->qlen with irqs enabled.  This is not good,
it can also be modified by call_rcu() from interrupt.

Decrement ->qlen once with irqs disabled, after a main loop.
