[PATCH -tip/core/rcu] fixes to include/linux/rcupreempt.h

From: Paul E. McKenney
Date: Fri Aug 01 2008 - 17:14:28 EST


Hello!

Compared tip/core/rcu to my latest patchset, and found the following
issues:

o the memory barrier in rcu_exit_nohz() somehow got out of place
(it is correct in mainline as of 2.6.26-rc7).

o There is a duplicate declaration of rcu_dyntick_sched.

The attached patch fixes these.
