Subject: [PATCH 1/2] lockdep missing barrier()
Date: Tue, 16 Jan 2007 12:56:24 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070116175624.GA16022@Krystal> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <OFAB3D8A6C.1643F2D3-ON80257262.000581E4-80257262.00088F04@uk.ibm.com>
This patch adds a barrier() to lockdep.c lockdep_recursion updates. This
variable behaves like the preemption count and should therefore use similar
memory barriers.
This patch applies on 2.6.20-rc4-git3.
