    rcu: Replace the rcu_barrier enum with pointer to call_rcu*() function · 135c8aea
    Paul E. McKenney 提交于
    The rcu_barrier enum causes several problems:
    
      (1) you have to define the enum somewhere, and there is no
          convenient place,
    
      (2) the difference between TREE_RCU and TREE_PREEMPT_RCU causes
          problems when you need to map from rcu_barrier enum to struct
          rcu_state,
    
      (3) the switch statement are large, and
    
      (4) TINY_RCU really needs a different rcu_barrier() than do the
          treercu implementations.
    
    So replace it with a functionally equivalent but cleaner function
    pointer abstraction.
