From d6cf723a142f63ccb92272bc0e9bfffd3c3a5cac Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oleg Nesterov Date: Wed, 30 Apr 2008 00:52:38 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] k_getrusage: don't take rcu_read_lock() Just a trivial example, more to come. k_getrusage() holds rcu_read_lock() because it was previously required by lock_task_sighand(). Unneeded now. Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov Cc: "Eric W. Biederman" Cc: "Paul E.
