From 778b032d96909690c19d84f8d17c13be65ed6f8e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oleg Nesterov Date: Tue, 29 May 2012 21:30:08 +0200 Subject: uprobes: Kill uprobes_srcu/uprobe_srcu_id Kill the no longer needed uprobes_srcu/uprobe_srcu_id code. It doesn't really work anyway. synchronize_srcu() can only synchronize with the code "inside" the srcu_read_lock/srcu_read_unlock section, while uprobe_pre_sstep_notifier() does srcu_read_lock() _after_ we already hit the breakpoint. I guess this probably works "in practice". synchronize_srcu() is slow and it implies synchronize_sched(), and the probed task enters the non- preemptible section at the start of exception handler. Still this is not right at least in theory, and task->uprobe_srcu_id blows task_struct.
