From e0ecfa7917cafe72f4a75f87e8bb5d8d51dc534f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Paul E. McKenney" Date: Fri, 25 Jan 2008 21:08:24 +0100 Subject: Preempt-RCU: fix rcu_barrier for preemptive environment. Fix rcu_barrier() to work properly in preemptive kernel environment. Also, the ordering of callback must be preserved while moving callbacks to another CPU during CPU hotplug.
