Prev: [PATCH RFC tip/core/rcu 07/23] rculist: avoid __rcu annotations
Next: [PATCH RFC tip/core/rcu 22/23] kvm: more __rcu annotations
From: Paul E. McKenney on 12 May 2010 17:40
The mce processing applies rcu_dereference_check() to integers used as
array indices. This patch therefore moves mce to the new RCU API
rcu_dereference_index_check() that avoids the sparse processing that
would otherwise result in compiler errors.
