From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@...ux.vnet.ibm.com>
To: peterz@...radead.org
Cc: linux-rt-users@...r.kernel.org, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org
Subject: [PATCH -rt] eliminate ->rcu_boosted
This commit eliminates the new ->rcu_boosted field, using the
pre-existing ->rcu_boost_mutex field in its place. This fixes a bug where
rcu_copy_process() failed to clear ->rcu_boosted in the child process.
