Subject: [GIT PULL rcu/next] RCU commits for 3.4
Hello, Ingo,
The major features of this series are making RCU more aggressive about
entering dyntick-idle mode in order to improve energy efficiency,
converting a few more call_rcu()s to kfree_rcu()s, applying a number
of rcutree fixes and cleanups to rcutiny, removing CONFIG_SMP #ifdefs
from treercu, allowing RCU CPU stall times to be set via sysfs, adding
CPU-stall capability to rcutorture, adding more RCU-abuse diagnostics,
updating documentation, and fixing yet more issue located in the
still-ongoing top-to-bottom inspection of RCU, this time with a special
focus on the CPU-hotplug code path.
Three of the kfree_rcu() conversions have not yet received acks (s390,
tcm_fc, and mac80211), but the maintainers have been CCed on multiple
LKML postings and -next testing has not shown any problems.
These commits have been posted to LKML (https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/2/3/459
and https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/2/21/228) and have received -next testing.
They are available in the git repository at:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulmck/linux-rcu.git rcu/next
Thanx, Paul
