[GIT PULL rcu/urgent] Allow SRCU readers in irq handlers for KVM

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello, Ingo,

This series enables srcu_read_lock() and srcu_read_unlock to be used from
interrupt handlers, which fixes a bug in KVM's use of SRCU in delivery
of interrupts to guest OSes.  These patches have been exposed to 0day
Test Robot and to -next testing, have been tested by the KVM folks,
and were posted to LKML:
