srcu: Make SRCU-fast also be NMI-safe
BPF uses rcu_read_lock_trace() in NMI context, so srcu_read_lock_fast() must be NMI-safe if it is to have any chance of addressing RCU Tasks Trace use cases. This commit therefore causes srcu_read_lock_fast() and srcu_read_unlock_fast() to use atomic_long_inc() instead of this_cpu_inc() on architectures that support NMIs but do not have NMI-safe implementations of this_cpu_inc(). Note that both x86 and arm64 have NMI-safe implementations of this_cpu_inc(), and thus do not pay the performance penalty inherent in atomic_inc_long(). It is tempting to use this trick to fold srcu_read_lock_nmisafe() into srcu_read_lock(), but this would need careful thought, review, and performance analysis. Though those smp_mb() calls might well make performance a non-issue. Reported-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Paul E.
