[PATCH] add rcu_barrier() synchronization point
This introduces a new interface - rcu_barrier() which waits until all the RCUs queued until this call have been completed. Reiser4 needs this, because we do more than just freeing memory object in our RCU callback: we also remove it from the list hanging off super-block. This means, that before freeing reiser4-specific portion of super-block (during umount) we have to wait until all pending RCU callbacks are executed. The only change of reiser4 made to the original patch, is exporting of rcu_barrier(). Cc: Hans Reiser <reiser@namesys.com> Cc: Vladimir V.
