From 1d082fd061884a587c490c4fc8a2056ce1e47624 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Paul E. McKenney" Date: Thu, 14 Aug 2014 16:01:53 -0700 Subject: rcu: Remove local_irq_disable() in rcu_preempt_note_context_switch() The rcu_preempt_note_context_switch() function is on a scheduling fast path, so it would be good to avoid disabling irqs. The reason that irqs are disabled is to synchronize process-level and irq-handler access to the task_struct ->rcu_read_unlock_special bitmask. This commit therefore makes ->rcu_read_unlock_special instead be a union of bools with a short allowing single-access checks in RCU's __rcu_read_unlock(). This results in the process-level and irq-handler accesses being simple loads and stores, so that irqs need no longer be disabled. This commit therefore removes the irq disabling from rcu_preempt_note_context_switch(). Reported-by: Peter Zijlstra Signed-off-by: Paul E.
