[PATCH] x86_64 : bring back __read_mostly support to linux-2.6.17-rc2

From: Eric Dumazet
Date: Wed Apr 19 2006 - 09:30:14 EST


It seems latest kernel (2.6.17-rc2) has a wrong/missing __read_mostly implementation for x86_64

__read_mostly macro should be declared outside of #if CONFIG_X86_VSMP block
