From 18390aeae7010ee56b132dcfb663ba362a099d99 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Paul E. McKenney" Date: Sun, 22 Apr 2018 15:06:05 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] rcu: Make rcu_gp_cleanup() write only once to ->gp_flags At the end of rcu_gp_cleanup(), if another grace period is needed, but not via rcu_accelerate_cbs(), the ->gp_flags field is written twice, once when making the new grace-period request, and once when clearing all other types of requests. This commit therefore adds an else-clause to avoid this double write. Signed-off-by: Paul E.
