From 94be52dc075a32af4aa73d7e10f68734d62d6af2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mandeep Singh Baines Date: Thu, 5 Feb 2009 09:56:08 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] softlockup: convert read_lock in hung_task to rcu_read_lock Since the tasklist is protected by rcu list operations, it is safe to convert the read_lock()s to rcu_read_lock().
