2016-07-06Introduce rb_replace_node_rcu()David Howells1-0/+13
Implement an RCU-safe variant of rb_replace_node() and rearrange rb_replace_node() to do things in the same order. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org>
2015-05-28rbtree: Make lockless searches non-fatalPeter Zijlstra1-7/+14
Change the insert and erase code such that lockless searches are non-fatal. In and of itself an rbtree cannot be correctly searched while in-modification, we can however provide weaker guarantees that will allow the rbtree to be used in conjunction with other techniques, such as latches; see 9b0fd802e8c0 ("seqcount: Add raw_write_seqcount_latch()"). For this to work we need the following guarantees from the rbtree code: 1) a lockless reader must not see partial stores, this would allow it to observe nodes that are invalid memory. 2) there must not be (temporary) loops in the tree structure in the modifier's program order, this would cause a lookup which interrupts the modifier to get stuck indefinitely. For 1) we must use WRITE_ONCE() for all updates to the tree structure; in particular this patch only does rb_{left,right} as those are the only element required for simple searches. It generates slightly worse code, probably because volatile. But in pointer chasing heavy code a few instructions more should not matter. For 2) I have carefully audited the code and drawn every intermediate link state and not found a loop. Cc: Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com> Cc: "Paul E.

2014-10-14rbtree: add comment to rb_insert_augmented()Lai Jiangshan1-0/+10
The comment is copied from Documentation/rbtree.txt, but this comment is so important that it should also be in the code.

2013-01-12lib/rbtree.c: avoid the use of non-static __always_inlineMichel Lespinasse1-3/+11
lib/rbtree.c declared __rb_erase_color() as __always_inline void, and then exported it with EXPORT_SYMBOL. This was because __rb_erase_color() must be exported for augmented rbtree users, but it must also be inlined into rb_erase() so that the dummy callback can get optimized out of that call site. (Actually with a modern compiler, none of the dummy callback functions should even be generated as separate text functions). The above usage is legal C, but it was unusual enough for some compilers to warn about it. This change makes things more explicit, with a static __always_inline ____rb_erase_color function for use in rb_erase(), and a separate non-inline __rb_erase_color function for use in rb_erase_augmented call sites.

2012-10-26rbtree: include linux/compiler.h for definition of __always_inlineWill Deacon1-0/+1
rb_erase_augmented() is a static function annotated with __always_inline. This causes a compile failure when attempting to use the rbtree implementation as a library (e.g. kvm tool): rbtree_augmented.h:125:24: error: expected `=', `,', `;', `asm' or `__attribute__' before `void' Include linux/compiler.h in rbtree_augmented.h so that the __always_inline macro is resolved correctly.

2012-10-09rbtree: move augmented rbtree functionality to rbtree_augmented.hMichel Lespinasse1-0/+223
Provide rb_insert_augmented() and rb_erase_augmented() through a new rbtree_augmented.h include file. rb_erase_augmented() is defined there as an __always_inline function, in order to allow inlining of augmented rbtree callbacks into it. Since this generates a relatively large function, each augmented rbtree user should make sure to have a single call site.
