Srikar, rebased commits like this one:

  c5af743: rcu: Introduce raw SRCU read-side primitives

are absolutely inacceptable:

 commit c5af7439f322db86e347991e184b95dd80676967
 Author: Paul E. McKenney [off-list ref]
 Date:   Sun Oct 9 15:13:11 2011 -0700

    rcu: Introduce raw SRCU read-side primitives

    ...

    Requested-by: Srikar Dronamraju [off-list ref]
    Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney [off-list ref]
    Tested-by: Srikar Dronamraju [off-list ref]

If you pull a commit from Paul into your tree then you must 
never rebase it. If you applied Paul's commit out of email then 
you should add a Signed-off-by, not a Tested-by tag at the end.

Also, please test whether it works when merged to latest -tip, 
there's been various RCU changes in this area. AFAICS these 
read-side primitives are already upstream via:

  0c53dd8b3140: rcu: Introduce raw SRCU read-side primitives

so pulling your tree would break the build.

Thanks,

	Ingo
