Subject: [GIT PULL rcu/next] RCU commits for 3.5
Hello, Ingo,
The major features of this series are:
1. A set of improvements and fixes to the RCU_FAST_NO_HZ feature
(with more on the way for 3.6). Posted to LKML:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/4/23/324 (commits 1-3 and 5),
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/4/16/611 (commit 4),
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/4/30/390 (commit 6), and
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/5/4/410 (commit 7, combined with
the other commits for the convenience of the tester).
2. Changes to make rcu_barrier() avoid disrupting execution of CPUs
that have no RCU callbacks. Posted to LKML:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/4/23/322.
3. A couple of commits that improve the efficiency of the interaction
between preemptible RCU and the scheduler, these two being all
that survived an abortive attempt to allow preemptible RCU's
__rcu_read_lock() to be inlined. The full set was posted to
LKML at https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/4/14/143, and the first and
third patches of that set remain.
4. Lai Jiangshan's algorithmic implementation of SRCU, which includes
call_srcu() and srcu_barrier(). A major feature of this new
implementation is that synchronize_srcu() no longer disturbs
the execution of other CPUs. This work is based on earlier
implementations by Peter Zijlstra and myself. Posted to
LKML: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/2/22/82.
5. A number of miscellaneous bug fixes and improvements which were
posted to LKML at: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/4/23/353 with
subsequent updates posted to LKML.
#1 and #2 are combined onto one topic branch due to dependencies among
the commits.
All of these have been exposed to -next testing.
These changes are available in the git repository at:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulmck/linux-rcu.git rcu/next
Thanx, Paul
