From aaaad0bfac019bb7701f92ebc1b31b4f85e47b55 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Date: Tue, 2 May 2017 09:39:09 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] rcu: Flag need for rcu_node_tree.h and rcu_segcblist.h visibility The rcu_node_tree.h and rcu_segcblist.h header files in the include/linux directory might appear at first sight to be internal to the RCU implementation. However, the definitions in these files are needed to determine the size of TREE SRCU's srcu_struct structure, so they must be externally visible, which is why they live in include/linux. This commit adds comments to this effect to those files. Signed-off-by: Paul E.
