From c5b5539506f86469dca08310657ca93bbb6c00a5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Paul E. McKenney" Date: Mon, 9 Mar 2015 16:58:41 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] rcu: Remove dead code from force_qs_rnp() Because force_qs_rnp() is invoked only from the force-quiescent-state code which runs only in the context of the grace-period kthread, a grace period must always be in progress throughout force_qs_rnp()'s execution. This commit therefore removes the rcu_gp_in_progress() check and the associated dead code. Signed-off-by: Paul E.
