From 3e03f9ca6a2599db1823bb0ea24e0845219a0e69 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jesper Dangaard Brouer Date: Sun, 5 Jul 2009 22:29:27 -0400 Subject: ext4: Use rcu_barrier() on module unload. The ext4 module uses rcu_call() thus it should use rcu_barrier()on module unload. The kmem cache ext4_pspace_cachep is sometimes free'ed using call_rcu() callbacks. Thus, we must wait for completion of call_rcu() before doing kmem_cache_destroy().
