Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 1/4] rcu: use wrapper function instead of exporting tasklist_lock
Date: Wed,  3 Mar 2010 07:46:56 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1267631219-8713-1-git-send-email-paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20100303154638.GA8576@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

Lockdep-RCU commit d11c563d exported tasklist_lock, which is not a good
thing.  This patch instead exports a function that uses lockdep to check
whether tasklist_lock is held.
