Now that explicit invocation of percpu_ref_exit() is necessary to free
the percpu counter, we can implement percpu_ref_reinit() which
reinitializes a released percpu_ref. This can be used implement
scalable gating switch which can be drained and then re-opened without
worrying about memory allocation failures.
percpu_ref_is_zero() is added to be used in a sanity check in
percpu_ref_exit(). As this function will be useful for other purposes
too, make it a public interface.
v2: Use smp_read_barrier_depends() instead of smp_load_acquire(). We
only need data dep barrier and smp_load_acquire() is stronger and
heavier on some archs. Spotted by Lai Jiangshan.

Currently, a percpu_ref undoes percpu_ref_init() automatically by
freeing the allocated percpu area when the percpu_ref is killed.
While seemingly convenient, this has the following niggles.
* It's impossible to re-init a released reference counter without
going through re-allocation.
* In the similar vein, it's impossible to initialize a percpu_ref
count with static percpu variables.
* We need and have an explicit destructor anyway for failure paths -
percpu_ref_cancel_init().
This patch removes the automatic percpu counter freeing in
percpu_ref_kill_rcu() and repurposes percpu_ref_cancel_init() into a
generic destructor now named percpu_ref_exit(). percpu_ref_destroy()
is considered but it gets confusing with percpu_ref_kill() while
"exit" clearly indicates that it's the counterpart of
percpu_ref_init().
All percpu_ref_cancel_init() users are updated to invoke
percpu_ref_exit() instead and explicit percpu_ref_exit() calls are
added to the destruction path of all percpu_ref users.

percpu_ref->pcpu_count is a percpu pointer with a status flag in its
lowest bit. As such, it always goes through arithmetic operations
which is very cumbersome to do on a pointer. It has to be first
casted to unsigned long and then back.
Let's just make the field unsigned long so that we can skip the first
casts. While at it, rename it to pcpu_counter_ptr to clarify that
it's a pointer value.

* All four percpu_ref_*() operations implemented in the header file
perform the same operation to determine whether the percpu_ref is
alive and extract the percpu pointer. Factor out the common logic
into __pcpu_ref_alive(). This doesn't change the generated code.
* There are a couple places in percpu-refcount.c which masks out
PCPU_REF_DEAD to obtain the percpu pointer. Factor it out into
pcpu_count_ptr().
* The above changes make the WARN_ON_ONCE() conditional at the top of
percpu_ref_kill_and_confirm() the only user of REF_STATUS(). Test
PCPU_REF_DEAD directly and remove REF_STATUS().
This patch doesn't introduce any functional change.

percpu-refcount currently reserves two lowest bits of its percpu
pointer to indicate its state; however, only one bit is used for
PCPU_REF_DEAD.
Simplify it by removing PCPU_STATUS_BITS/MASK and testing
PCPU_REF_DEAD directly. This also allows the compiler to choose a
more efficient instruction depending on the architecture.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/percpu.git into for-3.16
Pull percpu/for-3.15-fixes into percpu/for-3.16 to receive
0c36b390a546 ("percpu-refcount: fix usage of this_cpu_ops").
The merge doesn't produce any conflict but the automatic merge is
still incorrect because 4fb6e25049cb ("percpu-refcount: implement
percpu_ref_tryget()") added another use of __this_cpu_inc() which
should also be converted to this_cpu_ince().
This commit pulls in percpu/for-3.15-fixes and converts the newly
added __this_cpu_inc() to this_cpu_inc().

The percpu-refcount infrastructure uses the underscore variants of
this_cpu_ops in order to modify percpu reference counters.
(e.g. __this_cpu_inc()).
However the underscore variants do not atomically update the percpu
variable, instead they may be implemented using read-modify-write
semantics (more than one instruction). Therefore it is only safe to
use the underscore variant if the context is always the same (process,
softirq, or hardirq). Otherwise it is possible to lose updates.
This problem is something that Sebastian has seen within the aio
subsystem which uses percpu refcounters both in process and softirq
context leading to reference counts that never dropped to zeroes; even
though the number of "get" and "put" calls matched.
Fix this by using the non-underscore this_cpu_ops variant which
provides correct per cpu atomic semantics and fixes the corrupted
reference counts.

Implement percpu_ref_tryget() which fails if the refcnt already
reached zero. Note that this is different from the recently renamed
percpu_ref_tryget_live() which fails if the refcnt has been killed and
is draining the remaining references. percpu_ref_tryget() succeeds on
a killed refcnt as long as its current refcnt is above zero.

percpu_ref_tryget() is different from the usual tryget semantics in
that it fails if the refcnt is in its dying stage even if the refcnt
hasn't reached zero yet. We're about to introduce the more
conventional tryget and the current one has only one user. Let's
rename it to percpu_ref_tryget_live() so that it explicitly signifies
the peculiarities of its semantics.
This is pure rename.

percpu-refcount was incorrectly using preempt_disable/enable() for RCU
critical sections against call_rcu(). 6a24474da8 ("percpu-refcount:
consistently use plain (non-sched) RCU") fixed it by converting the
preepmtion operations with rcu_read_[un]lock() citing that there isn't
any advantage in using sched-RCU over using the usual one; however,
rcu_read_[un]lock() for the preemptible RCU implementation -
CONFIG_TREE_PREEMPT_RCU, chosen when CONFIG_PREEMPT - are slightly
more expensive than preempt_disable/enable().
In a contrived microbench which repeats the followings,
- percpu_ref_get()
- copy 32 bytes of data into percpu buffer
- percpu_put_get()
- copy 32 bytes of data into percpu buffer
rcu_read_[un]lock() used in percpu_ref_get/put() makes it go slower by
about 15% when compared to using sched-RCU.
As the RCU critical sections are extremely short, using sched-RCU
shouldn't have any latency implications. Convert to RCU-sched.

percpu_ref_kill_and_confirm()
Implement percpu_tryget() which stops giving out references once the
percpu_ref is visible as killed. Because the refcnt is per-cpu,
different CPUs will start to see a refcnt as killed at different
points in time and tryget() may continue to succeed on subset of cpus
for a while after percpu_ref_kill() returns.
For use cases where it's necessary to know when all CPUs start to see
the refcnt as dead, percpu_ref_kill_and_confirm() is added. The new
function takes an extra argument @confirm_kill which is invoked when
the refcnt is guaranteed to be viewed as killed on all CPUs.
While this isn't the prettiest interface, it doesn't force synchronous
wait and is much safer than requiring the caller to do its own
call_rcu().
v2: Patch description rephrased to emphasize that tryget() may
continue to succeed on some CPUs after kill() returns as suggested
by Kent.
v3: Function comment in percpu_ref_kill_and_confirm() updated warning
people to not depend on the implied RCU grace period from the
confirm callback as it's an implementation detail.

Normally, percpu_ref_init() initializes and percpu_ref_kill()
initiates destruction which completes asynchronously. The
asynchronous destruction can be problematic in init failure path where
the caller wants to destroy half-constructed object - distinguishing
half-constructed objects from the usual release method can be painful
for complex objects.
This patch implements percpu_ref_cancel_init() which synchronously
destroys the percpu_ref without invoking release. To avoid
unintentional misuses, the function requires the ref to have finished
percpu_ref_init() but never used and triggers WARN otherwise.
v2: Explain the weird name and usage restriction in the function
comment.

ACCESS_ONCE() in percpu_ref_kill_rcu()
Two small changes.
* Unlike most init functions, percpu_ref_init() allocates memory and
may fail. Let's mark it with __must_check in case the caller
forgets.
* percpu_ref_kill_rcu() is unnecessarily using ACCESS_ONCE() to
dereference @ref->pcpu_count, which can be misleading. The pointer
is guaranteed to be valid and visible and can't change underneath
the function. Drop ACCESS_ONCE().

* s/percpu_ref_release/percpu_ref_func_t/ as it's customary to have _t
postfix for types and the type is gonna be used for a different type
of callback too.
* Add @ARG to function comments.
* Drop unnecessary and unaligned indentation from percpu_ref_init()
function comment.

percpu_ref_get/put() are using preempt_disable/enable() while
percpu_ref_kill() is using plain call_rcu() instead of
call_rcu_sched(). This is buggy as grace periods of the two may not
match. Fix it by using plain RCU in percpu_ref_get/put().
(I suggested using sched RCU in the first place but there's no actual
benefit in doing so unless we're gonna introduce different variants
of get/put to be called while preemption is alredy disabled, which we
definitely shouldn't.)

This implements a refcount with similar semantics to
atomic_get()/atomic_dec_and_test() - but percpu.
It also implements two stage shutdown, as we need it to tear down the
percpu counts. Before dropping the initial refcount, you must call
percpu_ref_kill(); this puts the refcount in "shutting down mode" and
switches back to a single atomic refcount with the appropriate
barriers (synchronize_rcu()).
It's also legal to call percpu_ref_kill() multiple times - it only
returns true once, so callers don't have to reimplement shutdown
synchronization.
