[PATCH] Kprobes: preempt_disable/enable() reordering redux

From: Ananth N Mavinakayanahalli
Date: Mon Oct 24 2005 - 10:58:16 EST


From: Ananth N Mavinakayanahalli <ananth@xxxxxxxxxx>

This patch (over 2.6.14-rc4-mm1) reorganizes the preempt_disable/enable
calls to eliminate the extra preempt depth. Changes based on Paul
McKenney's review suggestions for the kprobes RCU changeset.
