* rcu: permit rcu_read_unlock() to be called while holding runqueue locksPaul E. McKenney2011-05-073-79/+34
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Avoid calling into the scheduler while holding core RCU locks. This allows rcu_read_unlock() to be called while holding the runqueue locks, but only as long as there was no chance of the RCU read-side critical section having been preempted. (Otherwise, if RCU priority boosting is enabled, rcu_read_unlock() might call into the scheduler in order to unboost itself, which might allows self-deadlock on the runqueue locks within the scheduler.)

* rcu: introduce kfree_rcu()Lai Jiangshan2011-05-053-2/+58
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Many rcu callbacks functions just call kfree() on the base structure. These functions are trivial, but their size adds up, and furthermore when they are used in a kernel module, that module must invoke the high-latency rcu_barrier() function at module-unload time. The kfree_rcu() function introduced by this commit addresses this issue. Rather than encoding a function address in the embedded rcu_head structure, kfree_rcu() instead encodes the offset of the rcu_head structure within the base structure. Because the functions are not allowed in the low-order 4096 bytes of kernel virtual memory, offsets up to 4095 bytes can be accommodated. If the offset is larger than 4095 bytes, a compile-time error will be generated in __kfree_rcu(). If this error is triggered, you can either fall back to use of call_rcu() or rearrange the structure to position the rcu_head structure into the first 4096 bytes. Note that the allowable offset might decrease in the future, for example, to allow something like kmem_cache_free_rcu(). The new kfree_rcu() function can replace code as follows: call_rcu(&p->rcu, simple_kfree_callback); where "simple_kfree_callback()" might be defined as follows: void simple_kfree_callback(struct rcu_head *p) { struct foo *q = container_of(p, struct foo, rcu); kfree(q); } with the following: kfree_rcu(&p->rcu, rcu); Note that the "rcu" is the name of a field in the structure being freed. The reason for using this rather than passing in a pointer to the base structure is that the above approach allows better type checking.

* rcu: Converge TINY_RCU expedited and normal boostingPaul E. McKenney2011-05-051-74/+89
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This applies a trick from TREE_RCU boosting to TINY_RCU, eliminating code and adding comments. The key point is that it is possible for the booster thread itself to work out whether there is a normal or expedited boost required based solely on local information. There is therefore no need for boost initiation to know or care what type of boosting is required. In addition, when boosting is complete for a given grace period, then by definition there cannot be any more boosting for that grace period. This allows eliminating yet more state and statistics.
