From 8fc5494ad5face62747a3937db66b00db1e5d80b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Uladzislau Rezki (Sony)" Date: Tue, 29 Nov 2022 16:58:21 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] rcu/kvfree: Move need_offload_krc() out of krcp->lock The need_offload_krc() function currently holds the krcp->lock in order to safely check krcp->head. This commit removes the need for this lock in that function by updating the krcp->head pointer using WRITE_ONCE() macro so that readers can carry out lockless loads of that pointer.
