From 3cac97cbb14aed00d83eb33d4613b0fe3aaea863 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lai Jiangshan Date: Sun, 6 Jul 2008 17:23:55 +0800 Subject: rcu classic: simplify the next pending batch use a batch number(rcp->pending) instead of a flag(rcp->next_pending) rcu_start_batch() need to change this flag, so mb()s is needed for memory-access safe. but(after this patch applied) rcu_start_batch() do not change this batch number(rcp->pending), rcp->pending is managed by __rcu_process_callbacks only, and troublesome mb()s are eliminated. And codes look simpler and clearer. Signed-off-by: Lai Jiangshan Cc: "Paul E.
