From 4b7a3e9e32114a09c61995048f055615b5d4c26d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lai Jiangshan Date: Wed, 22 Feb 2012 13:06:51 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] rcu: Remove fast check path from __synchronize_srcu() The fastpath in __synchronize_srcu() is designed to handle cases where there are a large number of concurrent calls for the same srcu_struct structure. However, the Linux kernel currently does not use SRCU in this manner, so remove the fastpath checks for simplicity. Signed-off-by: Lai Jiangshan Signed-off-by: Paul E.
