rcu: Implement per-domain single-threaded call_srcu() state machine
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
This commit implements an SRCU state machine in support of call_srcu().
The state machine is preemptible, light-weight, and single-threaded,
minimizing synchronization overhead.  In particular, there is no longer
any need for synchronize_srcu() to be guarded by a mutex.

Expedited processing is handled, at least in the absence of concurrent
grace-period operations on that same srcu_struct structure, by having
the synchronize_srcu_expedited() thread take on the role of the
workqueue thread for one iteration.

There is a reasonable probability that a given SRCU callback will
be invoked on the same CPU that registered it, however, there is no
guarantee.  Concurrent SRCU grace-period primitives can cause callbacks
to be executed elsewhere, even in absence of CPU-hotplug operations.

Callbacks execute in process context, but under the influence of
local_bh_disable(), so it is illegal to sleep in an SRCU callback
function.

* call_srcu() - Queue a callback for invocation after an SRCU grace period
* @sp: srcu_struct in queue the callback
* @head: structure to be used for queueing the SRCU callback.
* @func: function to be invoked after the SRCU grace period
*
* The callback function will be invoked some time after a full SRCU
* grace period elapses, in other words after all pre-existing SRCU
* read-side critical sections have completed. However, the callback
* function might well execute concurrently with other SRCU read-side
* critical sections that started after call_srcu() was invoked. SRCU
* read-side critical sections are delimited by srcu_read_lock() and
* srcu_read_unlock(), and may be nested.
*
* The callback will be invoked from process context, but must nevertheless
* be fast and must not block.
