[PATCH tip/core/rcu 0/3] Additional RCU commits for 3.3

January 09th, 2012 - 05:20 pm ET by Paul E. McKenney | Report spam
Hello, Ingo,

Further -next and other testing uncovered one upcoming change and some
build warnings. The three commits below address these. I am putting
them forward for 3.3, but of course if the risk of change exceeds the
magnitude of the problems, I can keep them queued for 3.4. These are
all quite small, have been exposed to -next testing, and I retested them
against current tip/master.

The specific changes are as follows:

1. Change rcutorture's module parameters of type int to instead
be bool. This is in preparation for Rusty's patch that makes
type-int module parameters illegal. (Courtesy of Rusty Russell.)

2. Add "const" to the new is_idle_task()'s argument, which
addresses a build warning located by Stephen Rothwell.

3. Add __cpuinit to rcu_torture_onoff() to address a section
mismatch build warning. (Courtesy of Heiko Carstens.)

These changes are based off of 3.2-rc7 and are available in the git
repository at:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/...ux-rcu.git rcu/urgent

Thanx, Paul

sched: Add "const" to is_idle_task() parameter

rcu: Make rcutorture bool parameters really bool (core code)

Pulled them into tip:core/urgent, thanks Paul!

Thanks,
