The patch titled rcu_do_batch: make ->qlen decrement irq safe has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename is rcu_do_batch-make-qlen-decrement-irq-safe.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: rcu_do_batch: make ->qlen decrement irq safe From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx> rcu_do_batch() decrements rdp->qlen with irqs enabled. This is not good, it can also be modified by call_rcu() from interrupt. Decrement ->qlen once with irqs disabled, after a main loop.
