rcu: fix header guard for rcu_all_qs()

2025-06-04T12:42:13+00:00

[ Upstream commit ad6b5b73ff565e88aca7a7d1286788d80c97ba71 ] rcu_all_qs() is defined for !CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU but the declaration is conditioned on CONFIG_PREEMPTION. With CONFIG_PREEMPT_LAZY, CONFIG_PREEMPTION=y does not imply CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU=y. Decouple the two. Cc: Paul E.

rcu: Export rcu_request_urgent_qs_task()

2023-07-12T21:45:23+00:00

If a CPU is executing a long series of non-sleeping system calls, RCU grace periods can be delayed for on the order of a couple hundred milliseconds. This is normally not a problem, but if each system call does a call_rcu(), those callbacks can stack up. RCU will eventually notice this callback storm, but use of rcu_request_urgent_qs_task() allows the code invoking call_rcu() to give RCU a heads up. This function is not for general use, not yet, anyway. Reported-by: Alexei Starovoitov Signed-off-by: Paul E.

rcu: Refactor kvfree_call_rcu() and high-level helpers

2023-01-04T01:48:40+00:00

Currently a kvfree_call_rcu() takes an offset within a structure as a second parameter, so a helper such as a kvfree_rcu_arg_2() has to convert rcu_head and a freed ptr to an offset in order to pass it. That leads to an extra conversion on macro entry. Instead of converting, refactor the code in way that a pointer that has to be freed is passed directly to the kvfree_call_rcu(). This patch does not make any functional change and is transparent to all kvfree_rcu() users. Signed-off-by: Uladzislau Rezki (Sony) Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney

rcu: Remove rcu_is_idle_cpu()

2022-10-21T17:11:00+00:00

The commit 3fcd6a230fa7 ("x86/cpu: Avoid cpuinfo-induced IPIing of idle CPUs") introduced rcu_is_idle_cpu() in order to identify the current CPU idle state. But commit f3eca381bd49 ("x86/aperfmperf: Replace arch_freq_get_on_cpu()") switched to using MAX_SAMPLE_AGE, so rcu_is_idle_cpu() is no longer used. This commit therefore removes it.

rcu: Remove unused 'cpu' in rcu_virt_note_context_switch()

This commit removes the unused function argument 'cpu'. This does not change functionality, but might save a cycle or two. Signed-off-by: Zeng Heng Acked-by: Mukesh Ojha Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney

rcu: Add functions to compare grace-period state values

2022-08-31T12:09:22+00:00

This commit adds same_state_synchronize_rcu() and same_state_synchronize_rcu_full() functions to compare grace-period state values, for example, those obtained from get_state_synchronize_rcu() and get_state_synchronize_rcu_full(). These functions allow small structures to omit these state values by placing them in list headers for lists containing structures with the same token value. Presumably the per-structure list pointers are the same ones used to link the structures into whatever reader-accessible data structure was used. This commit also adds both NUM_ACTIVE_RCU_POLL_OLDSTATE and NUM_ACTIVE_RCU_POLL_FULL_OLDSTATE, which define the maximum number of distinct unsigned long values and rcu_gp_oldstate values, respectively, corresponding to not-yet-completed grace periods. These values can be used to size arrays of the list headers described above. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney

rcu: Remove ->rgos_polled field from rcu_gp_oldstate structure

2022-08-31T12:09:21+00:00

Because both normal and expedited grace periods increment their respective counters on their pre-scheduler early boot fastpaths, the rcu_gp_oldstate structure no longer needs its ->rgos_polled field. This commit therefore removes this field, shrinking this structure so that it is the same size as an rcu_head structure. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney

rcu: Add full-sized polling for cond_sync_exp_full()

2022-08-31T12:08:08+00:00

The cond_synchronize_rcu_expedited() API compresses the combined expedited and normal grace-period states into a single unsigned long, which conserves storage, but can miss grace periods in certain cases involving overlapping normal and expedited grace periods. Missing the occasional grace period is usually not a problem, but there are use cases that care about each and every grace period. This commit therefore adds yet another member of the full-state RCU grace-period polling API, which is the cond_synchronize_rcu_exp_full() function. This uses up to three times the storage (rcu_gp_oldstate structure instead of unsigned long), but is guaranteed not to miss grace periods. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney
