i think the 'migrate read-count' method is not adequate either, because all callbacks queued within an RCU read section must be called after the lock has been dropped - while with the migration method CPU#1 would be free to process callbacks queued in the RCU read section still active on CPU#2.how about keeping the rcu callback list in process context and only splice it to a global (per cpu) list on rcu_read_unlock?
hm, that would indeed solve this problem. It would also solve the grace period problem: all callbacks in the global (per-CPU) list are immediately processable. Paul? Ingo
