[PATCH tip/core/rcu 1/4] rcu: use wrapper function instead of exporting tasklist_lock

From: Paul E. McKenney
Date: Wed Mar 03 2010 - 10:47:38 EST


Lockdep-RCU commit d11c563d exported tasklist_lock, which is not a good
thing. This patch instead exports a function that uses lockdep to check
whether tasklist_lock is held.
