rcu: add rcu_read_lock_sched() / rcu_read_unlock_sched() (1c50b728) · Commits · 戴 / test

Add rcu_read_lock_sched() and rcu_read_unlock_sched() to rcupdate.h to match the recently added write-side call_rcu_sched() and rcu_barrier_sched(). They also match the no-so-recently-added synchronize_sched(). It will help following matching use of the update/read lock primitives. Those new read lock will replace preempt_disable()/enable() used in pair with RCU-classic synchronization. Signed-off-by:
