From: Ingo Molnar Date: Sun, 8 Jan 2006 09:01:37 +0000 (-0800) Subject: [PATCH] RCU signal handling X-Git-Tag: v2.6.16-rc1~841 X-Git-Url: https://err.no/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e56d090310d7625ecb43a1eeebd479f04affb48b;p=linux-2.6 [PATCH] RCU signal handling RCU tasklist_lock and RCU signal handling: send signals RCU-read-locked instead of tasklist_lock read-locked. This is a scalability improvement on SMP and a preemption-latency improvement under PREEMPT_RCU. Signed-off-by: Paul E.
