If you want the smallest possible change, take the rcu/srcu branch of -rcu. If you want the works, take the rcu/next branch of -rcu. You can find -rcu at: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulmck/linux-rcu.git Thanx, Paul -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
