From 6b3ef48adf847f7adf11c870e3ffacac150f1564 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paul E. McKenney Date: Sat, 22 Aug 2009 13:56:53 -0700 Subject: rcu: Remove CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU Now that CONFIG_TREE_PREEMPT_RCU is in place, there is no further need for CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU. Remove it, along with whatever subtle bugs it may (or may not) contain. Signed-off-by: Paul E.
