From 82e78d80fc392ac7e98326bc8beeb8a679913ffd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Paul E. McKenney" Date: Thu, 4 Aug 2011 07:55:34 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] rcu: Simplify unboosting checks Commit 7765be (Fix RCU_BOOST race handling current->rcu_read_unlock_special) introduced a new ->rcu_boosted field in the task structure. This is redundant because the existing ->rcu_boost_mutex will be non-NULL at any time that ->rcu_boosted is nonzero. Therefore, this commit removes ->rcu_boosted and tests ->rcu_boost_mutex instead.
