The patch titled rcu: Add lock annotations to RCU locking primitives has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename is rcu-add-lock-annotations-to-rcu-locking-primitives.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: rcu: Add lock annotations to RCU locking primitives From: Josh Triplett <josht@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Add __acquire annotations to rcu_read_lock and rcu_read_lock_bh, and add __release annotations to rcu_read_unlock and rcu_read_unlock_bh. This allows sparse to detect improperly paired calls to these functions. Signed-off-by: Josh Triplett <josh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Acked-by: Paul E.
