From 07899a6e5f56136028c44a57ad0451e797365ac3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oleg Nesterov Date: Fri, 21 Aug 2015 19:42:52 +0200 Subject: rcu_sync: Introduce rcu_sync_dtor() This commit allows rcu_sync structures to be safely deallocated, The trick is to add a new ->wait field to the gp_ops array. This field is a pointer to the rcu_barrier() function corresponding to the flavor of RCU in question. This allows a new rcu_sync_dtor() to wait for any outstanding callbacks before freeing the rcu_sync structure.
