[PATCH tip/core/rcu 1/3] rcu: replace the rcu_barrier enum with pointer to call_rcu*() function

From: Paul E. McKenney
Date: Tue Sep 29 2009 - 00:50:43 EST


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.
