      [PATCH] NMI: Update NMI users of RCU to use new API · 19306059
      Paul E. McKenney 提交于
      Uses of RCU for dynamically changeable NMI handlers need to use the new
      rcu_dereference() and rcu_assign_pointer() facilities.  This change makes
      it clear that these uses are safe from a memory-barrier viewpoint, but the
      main purpose is to document exactly what operations are being protected by
      RCU.  This has been tested on x86 and x86-64, which are the only
      architectures affected by this change.
