rcu: Stopgap fix for synchronize_rcu_expedited() for TREE_PREEMPT_RCU

2009-10-15T09:17:17+00:00

For the short term, map synchronize_rcu_expedited() to
synchronize_rcu() for TREE_PREEMPT_RCU and to
synchronize_sched_expedited() for TREE_RCU.

Longer term, there needs to be a real expedited grace period for
TREE_PREEMPT_RCU, but candidate patches to date are considerably
more complex and intrusive.

rcu: Clean up code based on review feedback from Josh Triplett, part 2

2009-09-23T17:46:29+00:00

These issues identified during an old-fashioned face-to-face code
review extending over many hours.

o	Add comments for tricky parts of code, and correct comments
	that have passed their sell-by date.

o	Get rid of the vestiges of rcu_init_sched(), which is no
	longer needed now that PREEMPT_RCU is gone.

o	Move the #include of rcutree_plugin.h to the end of
	rcutree.c, which means that, rather than having a random
	collection of forward declarations, the new set of forward
	declarations document the set of plugins.  The new home for
	this #include also allows __rcu_init_preempt() to move into
	rcutree_plugin.h.

o	Fix rcu_preempt_check_callbacks() to be static.

rcu: Clean up code based on review feedback from Josh Triplett

2009-09-23T17:46:29+00:00

These issues identified during an old-fashioned face-to-face code
review extended over many hours.

o	Bury various forms of the "rsp->completed == rsp->gpnum"
	comparison into an rcu_gp_in_progress() function, which has
	the beneficial side-effect of forcing consistent use of
	ACCESS_ONCE().

o	Replace hand-coded arithmetic with DIV_ROUND_UP().

o	Bury several "!list_empty(&rnp->blocked_tasks[rnp->gpnum & 0x01])"
	instances into an rcu_preempted_readers() function, as this
	expression indicates that there are no readers blocked
	within RCU read-side critical sections blocking the current
	grace period.  (Though there might well be similar readers
	blocking the next grace period.)

o	Remove a dangling rcu_restart_cpu() declaration that has
	been dangling for almost 20 minor releases of the kernel.

rcu: Fix synchronize_rcu() for TREE_PREEMPT_RCU

2009-09-17T22:06:53+00:00

The redirection of synchronize_sched() to synchronize_rcu() was
appropriate for TREE_RCU, but not for TREE_PREEMPT_RCU.

Fix this by creating an underlying synchronize_sched().  TREE_RCU
then redirects synchronize_rcu() to synchronize_sched(), while
TREE_PREEMPT_RCU has its own version of synchronize_rcu().

rcu: Merge preemptable-RCU functionality into hierarchical RCU

2009-08-23T08:32:40+00:00

Create a kernel/rcutree_plugin.h file that contains definitions
for preemptable RCU (or, under the #else branch of the #ifdef,
empty definitions for the classic non-preemptable semantics).
These definitions fit into plugins defined in kernel/rcutree.c
for this purpose.

This variant of preemptable RCU uses a new algorithm whose
read-side expense is roughly that of classic hierarchical RCU
under CONFIG_PREEMPT. This new algorithm's update-side expense
is similar to that of classic hierarchical RCU, and, in absence
of read-side preemption or blocking, is exactly that of classic
hierarchical RCU.  Perhaps more important, this new algorithm
has a much simpler implementation, saving well over 1,000 lines
of code compared to mainline's implementation of preemptable
RCU, which will hopefully be retired in favor of this new
algorithm.

The simplifications are obtained by maintaining per-task
nesting state for running tasks, and using a simple
lock-protected algorithm to handle accounting when tasks block
within RCU read-side critical sections, making use of lessons
learned while creating numerous user-level RCU implementations
over the past 18 months.

rcu: Simplify rcu_pending()/rcu_check_callbacks() API

2009-08-23T08:32:39+00:00

All calls from outside RCU are of the form:

	if (rcu_pending(cpu))
		rcu_check_callbacks(cpu, user);

This is silly, instead we put a call to rcu_pending() in
rcu_check_callbacks(), and then make the outside calls be to
rcu_check_callbacks().  This cuts down on the code a bit and
also gives the compiler a better chance of optimizing.

rcu: Renamings to increase RCU clarity

Make RCU-sched, RCU-bh, and RCU-preempt be underlying
implementations, with "RCU" defined in terms of one of the
three.  Update the outdated rcu_qsctr_inc() names, as these
functions no longer increment anything.
