rcu: add comment stating that list_empty() applies to RCU-protected lists

2010-08-20T16:00:18+00:00

Because list_empty() does not dereference any RCU-protected pointers, and
further does not pass such pointers to the caller (so that the caller
does not dereference them either), it is safe to use list_empty() on
RCU-protected lists.  There is no need for a list_empty_rcu().  This
commit adds a comment stating this explicitly.

rculist: avoid __rcu annotations

2010-08-20T00:18:00+00:00

This avoids warnings from missing __rcu annotations
in the rculist implementation, making it possible to
use the same lists in both RCU and non-RCU cases.

We can add rculist annotations later, together with
lockdep support for rculist, which is missing as well,
but that may involve changing all the users.

net: rcu fixes

2010-05-03T22:53:54+00:00

Add hlist_for_each_entry_rcu_bh() and
hlist_for_each_entry_continue_rcu_bh() macros, and use them in
ipv6_get_ifaddr(), if6_get_first() and if6_get_next() to fix lockdeps
warnings.

IPv6: convert addrconf hash list to RCU

2010-03-20T22:44:35+00:00

Convert from reader/writer lock to RCU and spinlock for addrconf
hash list.

Adds an additional helper macro for hlist_for_each_entry_continue_rcu
to handle the continue case.

rcu: Disable lockdep checking in RCU list-traversal primitives

2010-02-25T08:41:02+00:00

The theory is that use of bare rcu_dereference() is more prone
to error than use of the RCU list-traversal primitives.
Therefore, disable lockdep RCU read-side critical-section
checking in these primitives for the time being.  Once all of
the rcu_dereference() uses have been dealt with, it may be time
to re-enable lockdep checking for the RCU list-traversal
primitives.

seq_file: add RCU versions of new hlist/list iterators (v3)

2010-02-22T23:45:54+00:00

Many usages of seq_file use RCU protected lists, so non RCU
iterators will not work safely.

netdev: add netdev_continue_rcu

This adds an RCU macro for continuing search, useful for some
network devices like vlan.
