From ca5ecddfa8fcbd948c95530e7e817cee9fb43a3d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Paul E. McKenney" Date: Wed, 28 Apr 2010 14:39:09 -0700 Subject: rcu: define __rcu address space modifier for sparse This commit provides definitions for the __rcu annotation defined earlier. This annotation permits sparse to check for correct use of RCU-protected pointers. If a pointer that is annotated with __rcu is accessed directly (as opposed to via rcu_dereference(), rcu_assign_pointer(), or one of their variants), sparse can be made to complain. To enable such complaints, use the new default-disabled CONFIG_SPARSE_RCU_POINTER kernel configuration option. Please note that these sparse complaints are intended to be a debugging aid, -not- a code-style-enforcement mechanism. There are special rcu_dereference_protected() and rcu_access_pointer() accessors for use when RCU read-side protection is not required, for example, when no other CPU has access to the data structure in question or while the current CPU hold the update-side lock. This patch also updates a number of docbook comments that were showing their age. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann Signed-off-by: Paul E.
