rcu: Make rcu_barrier() account for offline no-CBs CPUs

2020-04-17T14:13:30Z

commit 127e29815b4b2206c0a97ac1d83f92ffc0e25c34 upstream. Currently, rcu_barrier() ignores offline CPUs, However, it is possible for an offline no-CBs CPU to have callbacks queued, and rcu_barrier() must wait for those callbacks. This commit therefore makes rcu_barrier() directly invoke the rcu_barrier_func() with interrupts disabled for such CPUs. This requires passing the CPU number into this function so that it can entrain the rcu_barrier() callback onto the correct CPU's callback list, given that the code must instead execute on the current CPU. While in the area, this commit fixes a bug where the first CPU's callback might have been invoked before rcu_segcblist_entrain() returned, which would also result in an early wakeup.

rcu: Remove kfree_rcu() special casing and lazy-callback handling

2020-01-24T18:24:31Z

This commit removes kfree_rcu() special-casing and the lazy-callback handling from Tree RCU. It moves some of this special casing to Tiny RCU, the removal of which will be the subject of later commits. This results in a nice negative delta. Suggested-by: Paul E.

rcu: Make PREEMPT_RCU be a modifier to TREE_RCU

2019-12-09T20:37:51Z

Currently PREEMPT_RCU and TREE_RCU are mutually exclusive Kconfig options. But PREEMPT_RCU actually specifies a kind of TREE_RCU, namely a preemptible TREE_RCU. This commit therefore makes PREEMPT_RCU be a modifer to the TREE_RCU Kconfig option. This has the benefit of simplifying several of the #if expressions that formerly needed to check both, but now need only check one or the other.

rcu: Fix data-race due to atomic_t copy-by-value

2019-12-09T20:24:56Z

This fixes a data-race where `atomic_t dynticks` is copied by value. The copy is performed non-atomically, resulting in a data-race if `dynticks` is updated concurrently.

rcu/nocb: Use rcu_segcblist for no-CBs CPUs

2019-08-13T21:35:49Z

Currently the RCU callbacks for no-CBs CPUs are queued on a series of ad-hoc linked lists, which means that these callbacks cannot benefit from "drive-by" grace periods, thus suffering needless delays prior to invocation. In addition, the no-CBs grace-period kthreads first wait for callbacks to appear and later wait for a new grace period, which means that callbacks appearing during a grace-period wait can be delayed. These delays increase memory footprint, and could even result in an out-of-memory condition. This commit therefore enqueues RCU callbacks from no-CBs CPUs on the rcu_segcblist structure that is already used by non-no-CBs CPUs. It also restructures the no-CBs grace-period kthread to be checking for incoming callbacks while waiting for grace periods. Also, instead of waiting for a new grace period, it waits for the closest grace period that will cause some of the callbacks to be safe to invoke. All of these changes reduce callback latency and thus the number of outstanding callbacks, in turn reducing the probability of an out-of-memory condition. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney

rcu/nocb: Rename and document no-CB CB kthread sleep trace event

2019-08-13T21:32:39Z

The nocb_cb_wait() function traces a "FollowerSleep" trace_rcu_nocb_wake() event, which never was documented and is now misleading. This commit therefore changes "FollowerSleep" to "CBSleep", documents this, and updates the documentation for "Sleep" as well. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney
