The two patches are as follows: 1. Minimal patch that #ifdefs out the kthread code. 2. Code-movement patch that puts the code #ifdefed out above under existing #ifdefs in kernel/rcutree_plugin.h. For a testing-only version of this patchset from git, please see the following subject-to-rebase branch: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulmck/linux-2.6-rcu.git rcu/urgent Thanx, Paul ------------------------------------------------------------------------ b/kernel/rcutree.c | 59 +++++-- b/kernel/rcutree.h | 8 b/kernel/rcutree_plugin.h | 41 +++- b/kernel/rcutree_trace.c | 32 ++- kernel/rcutree.c | 383 --------------------------------------------- kernel/rcutree.h | 5 kernel/rcutree_plugin.h | 384 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 7 files changed, 489 insertions(+), 423 deletions(-) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
