From 1c50b728c3e734150b8a4a8310ce3e01bc5c70be Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mathieu Desnoyers Date: Mon, 29 Sep 2008 11:06:46 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] rcu: add rcu_read_lock_sched() / rcu_read_unlock_sched() Add rcu_read_lock_sched() and rcu_read_unlock_sched() to rcupdate.h to match the recently added write-side call_rcu_sched() and rcu_barrier_sched(). They also match the no-so-recently-added synchronize_sched(). It will help following matching use of the update/read lock primitives. Those new read lock will replace preempt_disable()/enable() used in pair with RCU-classic synchronization.
