rcu: Apply RCU-bh QSes to RCU-sched and RCU-preempt when safe
One necessary step towards consolidating the three flavors of RCU is to
make sure that the resulting consolidated "one flavor to rule them all"
correctly handles networking denial-of-service attacks. One thing that
allows RCU-bh to do so is that __do_softirq() invokes rcu_bh_qs() every
so often, and so something similar has to happen for consolidated RCU.
This must be done carefully. For example, if a preemption-disabled
region of code takes an interrupt which does softirq processing before
returning, consolidated RCU must ignore the resulting rcu_bh_qs()
invocations -- preemption is still disabled, and that means an RCU
reader for the consolidated flavor.
This commit therefore creates a new rcu_softirq_qs() that is called only
from the ksoftirqd task, thus avoiding the interrupted-a-preempted-region
problem. This new rcu_softirq_qs() function invokes rcu_sched_qs(),
rcu_preempt_qs(), and rcu_preempt_deferred_qs(). The latter call handles
any deferred quiescent states.
Note that __do_softirq() still invokes rcu_bh_qs(). It will continue to
do so until a later stage of cleanup when the RCU-bh flavor is removed.
