[PATCH tip/core/rcu 0/4] Review comments, cleanups, andpreemptable synchronize_rcu() fixes

From: Paul E. McKenney
Date: Sun Sep 13 2009 - 12:14:54 EST


This patchset provides updates to TREE_PREEMPT_RCU as follows:

1. Update the TREE_PREEMPT_RCU description to note that it is
suitable for small machines.

2. Add some WARN_ON_ONCE() calls to check for (incorrect)
concurrent grace-period initialization.

3. Simplify quiescent-state detection (which also speeds up
TREE_PREEMPT_RCU grace periods slightly).

4. Fix a thinko in TREE_PREEMPT_RCU's synchronize_rcu() that
could result in premature grace periods.
