rcu: Optimize RCU_FAST_NO_HZ for RCU_NOCB_CPU_ALL

2014-02-18T00:03:33+00:00

If CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_ALL=y, then no CPU will ever have RCU callbacks
because these callbacks will instead be handled by the rcuo kthreads.
However, the current version of RCU_FAST_NO_HZ nevertheless checks for RCU
callbacks.  This commit therefore creates static inline implementations
of rcu_prepare_for_idle() and rcu_cleanup_after_idle() that are no-ops
when CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_ALL=y.

rcu: Optimize rcu_needs_cpu() for RCU_NOCB_CPU_ALL

2014-02-18T00:03:09+00:00

If CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_ALL=y, then rcu_needs_cpu() will always
return false, however, the current version nevertheless checks
for RCU callbacks.  This commit therefore creates a static inline
implementation of rcu_needs_cpu() that unconditionally returns false
when CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_ALL=y.

rcu: Optimize rcu_is_nocb_cpu() for RCU_NOCB_CPU_ALL

If CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_ALL=y, then rcu_is_nocb_cpu() will always
return true, however, the current version nevertheless checks
rcu_nocb_mask.  This commit therefore creates a static inline
implementation of rcu_is_nocb_cpu() that unconditionally returns
true when CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_ALL=y.

rcu: Disambiguate CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPUs

2014-02-17T23:02:08+00:00

This commit fixes a grammar issue in the rcu_nohz_full_cpu() comment
header, so that it is clear that the plural is CPUs not Kconfig options.

rcu: Stop tracking FSF's postal address

2014-02-17T23:01:37+00:00

All of the RCU source files have the usual GPL header, which contains a
long-obsolete postal address for FSF.  To avoid the need to track the
FSF office's movements, this commit substitutes the URL where GPL may
be found.

rcu: Apply smp_mb__after_unlock_lock() to preserve grace periods

2013-12-16T10:36:16+00:00

RCU must ensure that there is the equivalent of a full memory
barrier between any memory access preceding grace period and any
memory access following that same grace period, regardless of
which CPU(s) happen to execute the two memory accesses.
Therefore, downgrading UNLOCK+LOCK to no longer imply a full
memory barrier requires some adjustments to RCU.

This commit therefore adds smp_mb__after_unlock_lock()
invocations as needed after the RCU lock acquisitions that need
to be part of a full-memory-barrier UNLOCK+LOCK.
