From 7be8c56f8f8a58af92f8791c5a09d48e342d7101 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Boqun Feng Date: Wed, 7 Mar 2018 16:49:39 +0800 Subject: rcu: exp: Fix "must hold exp_mutex" comments for QS reporting functions Since commit d9a3da0699b2 ("rcu: Add expedited grace-period support for preemptible RCU"), there are comments for some funtions in rcu_report_exp_rnp()'s call-chain saying that exp_mutex or its predecessors needs to be held. However, exp_mutex and its predecessors were used only to synchronize between GPs, and it is clear that all variables visited by those functions are under the protection of rcu_node's ->lock. Moreover, those functions are currently called without held exp_mutex, and seems that doesn't introduce any trouble. So this patch fixes this problem by updating the comments to match the current code.
