From c17ef45342cc033fdf7bdd5b28615e0090f8d2e7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Paul E. McKenney" Date: Tue, 23 Jun 2009 17:12:47 -0700 Subject: rcu: Remove Classic RCU Remove Classic RCU, given that the combination of Tree RCU and the proposed Bloatwatch RCU do everything that Classic RCU can with fewer bugs. Tree RCU has been default in x86 builds for almost six months, and seems to be quite reliable, so there does not seem to be much justification for keeping the Classic RCU code and config complexity around anymore.
