[PATCH] sched: RCU domains
One of the problems with the multilevel balance-on-fork/exec is that it needs to jump through hoops to satisfy sched-domain's locking semantics (that is, you may traverse your own domain when not preemptable, and you may traverse others' domains when holding their runqueue lock). balance-on-exec had to potentially migrate between more than one CPU before finding a final CPU to migrate to, and balance-on-fork needed to potentially take multiple runqueue locks. So bite the bullet and make sched-domains go completely RCU. This actually simplifies the code quite a bit. From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> schedstats RCU fix, and a nice comment on for_each_domain, from Ingo.
