[PATCH 3/5] Add rcu_barrier_sched() and rcu_barrier_bh()

From: Paul E. McKenney
Date: Mon Apr 14 2008 - 00:02:56 EST


Add rcu_barrier_sched() and rcu_barrier_bh(). With these in place,
rcutorture no longer gives the occasional oops when repeatedly starting
and stopping torturing rcu_bh. Also adds the API needed to flush out
pre-existing call_rcu_sched() callbacks.
