Subject: rcu: remove useless ->boosted_this_gp field
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=203373c81b83e98da82836c4b8b5dd1e6fc9011f;p=linux-beck.git

rcu: remove useless ->boosted_this_gp field

The ->boosted_this_gp field is a holdover from an earlier design that
was to carry out multiple boost operations in parallel.  It is not required
by the current design, which boosts one task at a time.
