Eric Dumazet says: ==================== net: avoid slow rcu synchronizations in cleanup_net() RTNL is a contended mutex, we prefer to expedite rcu synchronizations in contexts we hold RTNL. Similarly, cleanup_net() is a single threaded critical component and should also use synchronize_rcu_expedited() even when not holding RTNL. First patch removes a barrier with no clear purpose in ipv6_mc_down() ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
