rcu: Fix init_rcu_head() comment.

2018-02-21T00:12:26+00:00

The current (and implicit) comment header for init_rcu_head() and destroy_rcu_head() incorrectly says that they are not needed for statically allocated rcu_head structures. This commit therefore fixes this comment. Reported-by: Bart Van Assche Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney Reviewed-by: Bart Van Assche Reviewed-by: Leon Romanovsky

rcu: Adjust read-side accessor comments for READ_ONCE()

2017-12-04T18:52:53+00:00

Now that READ_ONCE() implies smp_read_barrier_depends(), the commit updates now-misleading comments to account for this change. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney

rcu: Account for rcu_all_qs() in cond_resched()

2017-12-04T18:29:00+00:00

If cond_resched() returns false, then it has already invoked rcu_all_qs(). This is also invoked (now redundantly) by rcu_note_voluntary_context_switch(). This commit therefore changes cond_resched_rcu_qs() to invoke rcu_note_voluntary_context_switch_lite() instead of rcu_note_voluntary_context_switch() to avoid the redundant invocation of rcu_all_qs().

locking/barriers: Convert users of lockless_dereference() to READ_ONCE()

2017-10-24T11:17:33+00:00

READ_ONCE() now has an implicit smp_read_barrier_depends() call, so it can be used instead of lockless_dereference() without any change in semantics.

doc: Fix various RCU docbook comment-header problems

2017-10-20T02:26:11+00:00

Because many of RCU's files have not been included into docbook, a number of errors have accumulated. This commit fixes them. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

Pull SCSI updates from James Bottomley: "This is mostly updates of the usual suspects: lpfc, qla2xxx, hisi_sas, megaraid_sas, zfcp and a host of minor updates. The major driver change here is the elimination of the block based cciss driver in favour of the SCSI based hpsa driver (which now drives all the legacy cases cciss used to be required for).

rcu: Create reasonable API for do_exit() TASKS_RCU processing

2017-08-17T14:26:05+00:00

Currently, the exit-time support for TASKS_RCU is open-coded in do_exit(). This commit creates exit_tasks_rcu_start() and exit_tasks_rcu_finish() APIs for do_exit() use. This has the benefit of confining the use of the tasks_rcu_exit_srcu variable to one file, allowing it to become static. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney
