[PATCH 3.16 219/370] jump_labels: API for flushing deferred jump label updates

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

 



3.16.42-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: David Matlack <dmatlack@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit b6416e61012429e0277bd15a229222fd17afc1c1 upstream.

Modules that use static_key_deferred need a way to synchronize with
any delayed work that is still pending when the module is unloaded.
Introduce static_key_deferred_flush() which flushes any pending
jump label updates.
