[PATCH] sched_ext: Remove redundant rcu_read_lock/unlock() in sysrq_handle_sched_ext_reset()
Posted by Zqiang 1 month, 2 weeks ago
The sysrq_handle_sched_ext_reset() callback has already been
executed in the rcu read critical section within __handle_sysrq(),
this commit therefore remove redundant rcu_read_lock/unlock() in
the sysrq_handle_sched_ext_reset().

Actually, minor nits in the commit message:

1) s/has already been executed/is executed/
2) s/remove/removes/

Or maybe rephrase as following?

  sysrq_handle_sched_ext_reset() is called from __handle_sysrq(), which already
  holds rcu_read_lock() while invoking the sysrq handler. Remove the redundant
  rcu_read_lock/unlock() pair.

Thanks,
