[PATCH] rcutorture: catchup doc fixes for idle-hz tests

2006-06-28T00:32:40+00:00

This just catches the RCU torture documentation up with the recent fixes
that test RCU for architectures that turn of the scheduling-clock interrupt
for idle CPUs and the addition of a SUCCESS/FAILURE indication, fixing up
an obsolete comment as well.

[PATCH] RCU documentation: self-limiting updates and call_rcu()

2006-06-25T17:01:17+00:00

An update to the RCU documentation calling out the
self-limiting-update-rate advantages of synchronize_rcu(), and describing
how to use call_rcu() in a way that results in self-limiting updates.
Self-limiting updates are important to avoiding RCU-induced OOM in face of
denial-of-service attacks.

[PATCH] Make RCU API inaccessible to non-GPL Linux kernel modules

2006-06-23T14:43:07+00:00

Remove synchronize_kernel() (deprecated 2-APR-2005 in
http://lkml.org/lkml/2005/4/3/11) and makes the RCU API inaccessible to
non-GPL Linux kernel modules (as was announced more than one year ago in
http://lkml.org/lkml/2005/4/3/8).  Tested on x86 and ppc64.

[PATCH] Remove hlist_for_each_rcu() API, convert existing use to hlist_for_each_entry_rcu

2005-11-07T15:53:35+00:00

Remove the hlist_for_each_rcu() API, which is used only in one place, and
is trivially converted to hlist_for_each_entry_rcu(), making the code
shorter and more readable.  Any out-of-tree uses may be similarly
converted.
