This one looks fine on its own merits, so I grabbed it from your git tree:
ecdadb5289d1 ("headers/uninline: Uninline multi-use function: finish_rcuwait()")
> headers/deps: RCU: Remove __read_mostly annotations from externs
And same with this one:
1c8af2245fd7 ("headers/deps: RCU: Remove __read_mostly annotations from externs")
Of course, if you would rather keep these, please let me know and I will
drop them.
Thanx, Paul
