As we now have rcu_callback_t typedefs as the type of rcu callbacks, we should use it in call_rcu*() and friends as the type of parameters. This could save us a few lines of code and make it clear which function requires an rcu callbacks rather than other callbacks as its argument. Besides, this can also help cscope to generate a better database for code reading. Signed-off-by: NBoqun Feng <boqun.feng@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: NPaul E.

In kernels built with CONFIG_PREEMPT=y, synchronize_rcu_expedited() invokes synchronize_sched_expedited() while holding RCU-preempt's root rcu_node structure's ->exp_funnel_mutex, which is acquired after the rcu_data structure's ->exp_funnel_mutex. The first thing that synchronize_sched_expedited() will do is acquire RCU-sched's rcu_data structure's ->exp_funnel_mutex. There is no danger of an actual deadlock because the locking order is always from RCU-preempt's expedited mutexes to those of RCU-sched. Unfortunately, lockdep considers both rcu_data structures' ->exp_funnel_mutex to be in the same lock class and therefore reports a deadlock cycle. This commit silences this false positive by placing RCU-sched's rcu_data structures' ->exp_funnel_mutex locks into their own lock class.

In a CONFIG_PREEMPT=y kernel, synchronize_rcu_expedited() acquires the ->exp_funnel_mutex in rcu_preempt_state, then invokes synchronize_sched_expedited, which acquires the ->exp_funnel_mutex in rcu_sched_state. There can be no deadlock because rcu_preempt_state ->exp_funnel_mutex acquisition always precedes that of rcu_sched_state. But lockdep does not know that, so it gives false-positive splats. This commit therefore associates a separate lock_class_key structure with the rcu_sched_state structure's ->exp_funnel_mutex, allowing lockdep to see the lock ordering, avoiding the false positives.

RCU's rcu_oom_notify() disables CPU hotplug in order to stabilize the list of online CPUs, which it traverses. However, this is completely pointless because smp_call_function_single() will quietly fail if invoked on an offline CPU. Because the count of requests is incremented in the rcu_oom_notify_cpu() function that is remotely invoked, everything works nicely even in the face of concurrent CPU-hotplug operations. Furthermore, in recent kernels, invoking get_online_cpus() from an OOM notifier can result in deadlock. This commit therefore removes the call to get_online_cpus() and put_online_cpus() from rcu_oom_notify().

There have been several requests for a primitive that waits for grace periods for several RCU flavors concurrently, so this commit creates it. This is a variadic macro, and you pass in the call_rcu() functions of the flavors of RCU that you wish to wait for. Note that you cannot pass in call_srcu() for two reasons: (1) This would result in a type mismatch and (2) You need to specify which srcu_struct you want to use. Handle this by creating a wrapper function for your SRCU domain, for example: void call_srcu_mine(struct rcu_head *head, rcu_callback_t func) { call_srcu(&ss_mine, head, func); } You can then do something like this: synchronize_rcu_mult(call_srcu_mine, call_rcu, call_rcu_sched); Signed-off-by: NPaul E.

The grace-period kthread sleeps waiting to do a force-quiescent-state scan, and when awakened sets rsp->gp_state to RCU_GP_DONE_FQS.

One of the requirements on RCU grace periods is that if there is a causal chain of operations that starts after one grace period and ends before another grace period, then the two grace periods must be serialized. There has been (and might still be) code that relies on this, for example, certain types of reference-counting code that does a call_rcu() within an RCU callback function. This requirement is why there is an smp_mb() at the end of both synchronize_sched_expedited() and synchronize_rcu_expedited(). However, this is the only smp_mb() in these functions, so it would be nicer to consolidate it into rcu_exp_gp_seq_end(). This commit does just that. Signed-off-by: NPaul E.

This commit creates rcu_exp_gp_seq_start() and rcu_exp_gp_seq_end() to bracket an expedited grace period, rcu_exp_gp_seq_snap() to snapshot the sequence counter, and rcu_exp_gp_seq_done() to check to see if a full expedited grace period has elapsed since the snapshot. These will be applied to synchronize_rcu_expedited(). These are defined in terms of underlying rcu_seq_start(), rcu_seq_end(), rcu_seq_snap(), rcu_seq_done(), which will be applied to _rcu_barrier(). One reason that this commit doesn't use the seqcount primitives themselves is that the smp_wmb() in those primitive is insufficient due to the fact that expedited grace periods do reads as well as writes. In addition, the read-side seqcount primitives detect a potentially partial change, where the expedited primitives instead need a guaranteed full change. Signed-off-by: NPaul E.

Sequentially stopping the CPUs slows down expedited grace periods by at least a factor of two, based on rcutorture's grace-period-per-second rate. This is a conservative measure because rcutorture uses unusually long RCU read-side critical sections and because rcutorture periodically quiesces the system in order to test RCU's ability to ramp down to and up from the idle state. This commit therefore replaces the stop_one_cpu() with stop_one_cpu_nowait(), using an atomic-counter scheme to determine when all CPUs have passed through the stopped state.

Now that synchronize_sched_expedited() have a mutex, it can use simpler work-already-done detection scheme. This commit simplifies this scheme by using something similar to the sequence-locking counter scheme. A counter is incremented before and after each grace period, so that the counter is odd in the midst of the grace period and even otherwise. So if the counter has advanced to the second even number that is greater than or equal to the snapshot, the required grace period has already happened. Signed-off-by: NPaul E.

The synchronize_sched_expedited() currently invokes try_stop_cpus(), which schedules the stopper kthreads on each online non-idle CPU, and waits until all those kthreads are running before letting any of them stop. This is disastrous for real-time workloads, which get hit with a preemption that is as long as the longest scheduling latency on any CPU, including any non-realtime housekeeping CPUs. This commit therefore switches to using stop_one_cpu() on each CPU in turn. This avoids inflicting the worst-case scheduling latency on the worst-case CPU onto all other CPUs, and also simplifies the code a little bit. Follow-up commits will simplify the counter-snapshotting algorithm and convert a number of the counters that are now protected by the new ->expedited_mutex to non-atomic.
