[PATCH tip/core/rcu 0/3] signed overflow, virtualizationoptimizations, deadlock avoidance

From: Paul E. McKenney
Date: Sun May 08 2011 - 09:34:13 EST


Hello!

This patchset adds a few more commits to the list:

1. Rework check_cpu_stall to avoid signed overflow.
2. Provide an RCU API for better detection of running in a
guest OS (thanks to Gleb Natapov).
3. Permit rcu_read_unlock() to be called while holding one
of the runqueue locks in response to a lockdep splat,
quite possibly from Valdis Kletnieks.

For a testing-only version of this patchset from git, please see the
following subject-to-rebase branch:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulmck/linux-2.6-rcu.git rcu/testing

Thanx, Paul
