2006-07-10	[PATCH] RCU Documentation fix	Urs Thuermann	1	-2/+3
	Updater should use _rcu variant of list_del(). Signed-off-by: Urs Thuermann <urs@isnogud.escape.de> Acked-by: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2006-06-25	[PATCH] RCU documentation: self-limiting updates and call_rcu()	Paul E. McKenney	1	-1/+11
	An update to the RCU documentation calling out the self-limiting-update-rate advantages of synchronize_rcu(), and describing how to use call_rcu() in a way that results in self-limiting updates. Self-limiting updates are important to avoiding RCU-induced OOM in face of denial-of-service attacks. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2006-06-23	[PATCH] Make RCU API inaccessible to non-GPL Linux kernel modules	Paul E. McKenney	1	-1/+0
	Remove synchronize_kernel() (deprecated 2-APR-2005 in http://lkml.org/lkml/2005/4/3/11) and makes the RCU API inaccessible to non-GPL Linux kernel modules (as was announced more than one year ago in http://lkml.org/lkml/2005/4/3/8). Tested on x86 and ppc64. Signed-off-by: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2006-03-28	[PATCH] for_each_possible_cpu: documentaion	KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki	1	-1/+1
	Replace for_each_cpu with for_each_possible_cpu. Modifies occurences in documentaion. for_each_cpu in whatisRCU.txt should be for_each_online_cpu ??? (I'm not sure..)

2006-03-24	rcu: undeclared variable used in documentation	Baruch Even	1	-2/+2
	The RCU documentation uses an fp variable which is not declared in the code snippets. Use the new_fp variable instead. Signed-Off-By: Baruch Even <baruch@ev-en.org> Acked-by: <paulmck@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk <bunk@stusta.de>
2006-02-01	[PATCH] RCU documentation fixes (January 2006 update)	Paul E. McKenney	1	-12/+17
	Updates to in-tree RCU documentation based on comments over the past few months. Signed-off-by: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2005-11-07	[PATCH] Remove hlist_for_each_rcu() API, convert existing use to hlist_for_each_entry_rcu	Paul E. McKenney	1	-2/+0
	Remove the hlist_for_each_rcu() API, which is used only in one place, and is trivially converted to hlist_for_each_entry_rcu(), making the code shorter and more readable. Any out-of-tree uses may be similarly converted. Signed-off-by: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2005-09-10	[PATCH] Yet another RCU documentation update	Paul E. McKenney	1	-0/+902
	Update RCU documentation based on discussions and review of RCU-based tree patches. Add an introductory whatisRCU.txt file. Signed-off-by: <paulmck@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
