[GIT PULL] per-cpu changes for v3.11-rc1
From: Tejun Heo
Date: Mon Jul 01 2013 - 09:52:39 EST
Hello, Linus.
This pull request contains Kent's per-cpu reference counter. It has
gone through several iterations since the last time and the dynamic
allocation is gone. The usual usage is relatively straight-forward
although async kill confirm interface, which is not used int most
cases, is somewhat icky. There also are some interface concerns -
e.g. I'm not sure about passing in @relesae callback during init as
that becomes funny when we later implement synchronous kill_and_drain
- but nothing too serious and it's quite useable now.
cgroup_subsys_state refcnting has already been converted and we should
convert module refcnt (Kent?).
Please pull from the following branch to receive the per-cpu reference
counter.
