Subject: [GIT PULL] per-cpu changes for v3.11-rc1
Date: Mon, 1 Jul 2013 06:52:20 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130701135220.GC11408@mtj.dyndns.org> (raw)

Hello, Linus.

This pull request contains Kent's per-cpu reference counter.  It has
gone through several iterations since the last time and the dynamic
allocation is gone.  The usual usage is relatively straight-forward
although async kill confirm interface, which is not used int most
cases, is somewhat icky.  There also are some interface concerns -
e.g. I'm not sure about passing in @relesae callback during init as
that becomes funny when we later implement synchronous kill_and_drain
- but nothing too serious and it's quite useable now.

cgroup_subsys_state refcnting has already been converted and we should
convert module refcnt (Kent?).

Please pull from the following branch to receive the per-cpu reference
counter.

Thanks.
