    ftrace: Replace read_barrier_depends() with rcu_dereference_raw() · 3f379b03
    Paul E. McKenney authored
    Replace the calls to read_barrier_depends() in
    ftrace_list_func() with rcu_dereference_raw() to improve
    readability.  The reason that we use rcu_dereference_raw() here
    is that removed entries are never freed, instead they are simply
    leaked.  This is one of a very few cases where use of
    rcu_dereference_raw() is the long-term right answer.  And I
    don't yet know of any others.  ;-)
