+<h3><a name="Data-Structure Relationships">Data-Structure Relationships</a></h3>
+
+<p>RCU is for all intents and purposes a large state machine, and its
+data structures maintain the state in such a way as to allow RCU readers
+to execute extremely quickly, while also processing the RCU grace periods
+requested by updaters in an efficient and extremely scalable fashion.
+The efficiency and scalability of RCU updaters is provided primarily
+by a combining tree, as shown below:
+
+</p><p><img src="BigTreeClassicRCU.svg" alt="BigTreeClassicRCU.svg" width="30%">
+
+</p><p>This diagram shows an enclosing <tt>rcu_state</tt> structure
+containing a tree of <tt>rcu_node</tt> structures.
+Each leaf node of the <tt>rcu_node</tt> tree has up to 16
+<tt>rcu_data</tt> structures associated with it, so that there
+are <tt>NR_CPUS</tt> number of <tt>rcu_data</tt> structures,
+one for each possible CPU.
+This structure is adjusted at boot time, if needed, to handle the
+common case where <tt>nr_cpu_ids</tt> is much less than
+<tt>NR_CPUs</tt>.
+For example, a number of Linux distributions set <tt>NR_CPUs=4096</tt>,
+which results in a three-level <tt>rcu_node</tt> tree.
+If the actual hardware has only 16 CPUs, RCU will adjust itself
+at boot time, resulting in an <tt>rcu_node</tt> tree with only a single node.
+
+</p><p>The purpose of this combining tree is to allow per-CPU events
+such as quiescent states, dyntick-idle transitions,
+and CPU hotplug operations to be processed efficiently
+and scalably.
+Quiescent states are recorded by the per-CPU <tt>rcu_data</tt> structures,
+and other events are recorded by the leaf-level <tt>rcu_node</tt>
+structures.
+All of these events are combined at each level of the tree until finally
+grace periods are completed at the tree's root <tt>rcu_node</tt>
+structure.
+A grace period can be completed at the root once every CPU
+(or, in the case of <tt>CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU</tt>, task)
+has passed through a quiescent state.
+Once a grace period has completed, record of that fact is propagated
+back down the tree.
+
+</p><p>As can be seen from the diagram, on a 64-bit system
+a two-level tree with 64 leaves can accommodate 1,024 CPUs, with a fanout
+of 64 at the root and a fanout of 16 at the leaves.
+
+<table>
+<tr><th>&nbsp;</th></tr>
+<tr><th align="left">Quick Quiz:</th></tr>
+<tr><td>
+	Why isn't the fanout at the leaves also 64?
+</td></tr>
+<tr><th align="left">Answer:</th></tr>
+<tr><td bgcolor="#ffffff"><font color="ffffff">
+	Because there are more types of events that affect the leaf-level
+	<tt>rcu_node</tt> structures than further up the tree.
+	Therefore, if the leaf <tt>rcu_node</tt> structures have fanout of
+	64, the contention on these structures' <tt>-&gt;structures</tt>
+	becomes excessive.
+	Experimentation on a wide variety of systems has shown that a fanout
+	of 16 works well for the leaves of the <tt>rcu_node</tt> tree.
+	</font>
+
+	<p><font color="ffffff">Of course, further experience with
+	systems having hundreds or thousands of CPUs may demonstrate
+	that the fanout for the non-leaf <tt>rcu_node</tt> structures
+	must also be reduced.
+	Such reduction can be easily carried out when and if it proves
+	necessary.
+	In the meantime, if you are using such a system and running into
+	contention problems on the non-leaf <tt>rcu_node</tt> structures,
+	you may use the <tt>CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT</tt> kernel configuration
+	parameter to reduce the non-leaf fanout as needed.
+	</font>
+
+	<p><font color="ffffff">Kernels built for systems with
+	strong NUMA characteristics might also need to adjust
+	<tt>CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT</tt> so that the domains of the
+	<tt>rcu_node</tt> structures align with hardware boundaries.
+	However, there has thus far been no need for this.
+</font></td></tr>
+<tr><td>&nbsp;</td></tr>
+</table>
+
+<p>If your system has more than 1,024 CPUs (or more than 512 CPUs on
+a 32-bit system), then RCU will automatically add more levels to the
+tree.
+For example, if you are crazy enough to build a 64-bit system with 65,536
+CPUs, RCU would configure the <tt>rcu_node</tt> tree as follows:
+
+</p><p><img src="HugeTreeClassicRCU.svg" alt="HugeTreeClassicRCU.svg" width="50%">
+
+</p><p>RCU currently permits up to a four-level tree, which on a 64-bit system
+accommodates up to 4,194,304 CPUs, though only a mere 524,288 CPUs for
+32-bit systems.
+On the other hand, you can set <tt>CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT</tt> to be
+as small as 2 if you wish, which would permit only 16 CPUs, which
+is useful for testing.
+
+</p><p>This multi-level combining tree allows us to get most of the
+performance and scalability
+benefits of partitioning, even though RCU grace-period detection is
+inherently a global operation.
+The trick here is that only the last CPU to report a quiescent state
+into a given <tt>rcu_node</tt> structure need advance to the <tt>rcu_node</tt>
+structure at the next level up the tree.
+This means that at the leaf-level <tt>rcu_node</tt> structure, only
+one access out of sixteen will progress up the tree.
+For the internal <tt>rcu_node</tt> structures, the situation is even
+more extreme:  Only one access out of sixty-four will progress up
+the tree.
+Because the vast majority of the CPUs do not progress up the tree,
+the lock contention remains roughly constant up the tree.
+No matter how many CPUs there are in the system, at most 64 quiescent-state
+reports per grace period will progress all the way to the root
+<tt>rcu_node</tt> structure, thus ensuring that the lock contention
+on that root <tt>rcu_node</tt> structure remains acceptably low.
+
+</p><p>In effect, the combining tree acts like a big shock absorber,
+keeping lock contention under control at all tree levels regardless
+of the level of loading on the system.
+
+</p><p>The Linux kernel actually supports multiple flavors of RCU
+running concurrently, so RCU builds separate data structures for each
+flavor.
+For example, for <tt>CONFIG_TREE_RCU=y</tt> kernels, RCU provides
+rcu_sched and rcu_bh, as shown below:
+
+</p><p><img src="BigTreeClassicRCUBH.svg" alt="BigTreeClassicRCUBH.svg" width="33%">
+
+</p><p>Energy efficiency is increasingly important, and for that
+reason the Linux kernel provides <tt>CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE</tt>, which
+turns off the scheduling-clock interrupts on idle CPUs, which in
+turn allows those CPUs to attain deeper sleep states and to consume
+less energy.
+CPUs whose scheduling-clock interrupts have been turned off are
+said to be in <i>dyntick-idle mode</i>.
+RCU must handle dyntick-idle CPUs specially
+because RCU would otherwise wake up each CPU on every grace period,
+which would defeat the whole purpose of <tt>CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE</tt>.
+RCU uses the <tt>rcu_dynticks</tt> structure to track
+which CPUs are in dyntick idle mode, as shown below:
+
+</p><p><img src="BigTreeClassicRCUBHdyntick.svg" alt="BigTreeClassicRCUBHdyntick.svg" width="33%">
+
+</p><p>However, if a CPU is in dyntick-idle mode, it is in that mode
+for all flavors of RCU.
+Therefore, a single <tt>rcu_dynticks</tt> structure is allocated per
+CPU, and all of a given CPU's <tt>rcu_data</tt> structures share
+that <tt>rcu_dynticks</tt>, as shown in the figure.
+
+</p><p>Kernels built with <tt>CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU</tt> support
+rcu_preempt in addition to rcu_sched and rcu_bh, as shown below:
+
+</p><p><img src="BigTreePreemptRCUBHdyntick.svg" alt="BigTreePreemptRCUBHdyntick.svg" width="35%">
+
+</p><p>RCU updaters wait for normal grace periods by registering
+RCU callbacks, either directly via <tt>call_rcu()</tt> and
+friends (namely <tt>call_rcu_bh()</tt> and <tt>call_rcu_sched()</tt>),
+there being a separate interface per flavor of RCU)
+or indirectly via <tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt> and friends.
+RCU callbacks are represented by <tt>rcu_head</tt> structures,
+which are queued on <tt>rcu_data</tt> structures while they are
+waiting for a grace period to elapse, as shown in the following figure:
+
+</p><p><img src="BigTreePreemptRCUBHdyntickCB.svg" alt="BigTreePreemptRCUBHdyntickCB.svg" width="40%">
+
+</p><p>This figure shows how <tt>TREE_RCU</tt>'s and
+<tt>PREEMPT_RCU</tt>'s major data structures are related.
+Lesser data structures will be introduced with the algorithms that
+make use of them.
+
+</p><p>Note that each of the data structures in the above figure has
+its own synchronization:
+
+<p><ol>
+<li>	Each <tt>rcu_state</tt> structures has a lock and a mutex,
+	and some fields are protected by the corresponding root
+	<tt>rcu_node</tt> structure's lock.
+<li>	Each <tt>rcu_node</tt> structure has a spinlock.
+<li>	The fields in <tt>rcu_data</tt> are private to the corresponding
+	CPU, although a few can be read and written by other CPUs.
+<li>	Similarly, the fields in <tt>rcu_dynticks</tt> are private
+	to the corresponding CPU, although a few can be read by
+	other CPUs.
+</ol>
+
+<p>It is important to note that different data structures can have
+very different ideas about the state of RCU at any given time.
+For but one example, awareness of the start or end of a given RCU
+grace period propagates slowly through the data structures.
+This slow propagation is absolutely necessary for RCU to have good
+read-side performance.
+If this balkanized implementation seems foreign to you, one useful
+trick is to consider each instance of these data structures to be
+a different person, each having the usual slightly different
+view of reality.
+
+</p><p>The general role of each of these data structures is as
+follows:
+
+</p><ol>
+<li>	<tt>rcu_state</tt>:
+	This structure forms the interconnection between the
+	<tt>rcu_node</tt> and <tt>rcu_data</tt> structures,
+	tracks grace periods, serves as short-term repository
+	for callbacks orphaned by CPU-hotplug events,
+	maintains <tt>rcu_barrier()</tt> state,
+	tracks expedited grace-period state,
+	and maintains state used to force quiescent states when
+	grace periods extend too long,
+<li>	<tt>rcu_node</tt>: This structure forms the combining
+	tree that propagates quiescent-state
+	information from the leaves to the root, and also propagates
+	grace-period information from the root to the leaves.
+	It provides local copies of the grace-period state in order
+	to allow this information to be accessed in a synchronized
+	manner without suffering the scalability limitations that
+	would otherwise be imposed by global locking.
+	In <tt>CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU</tt> kernels, it manages the lists
+	of tasks that have blocked while in their current
+	RCU read-side critical section.
+	In <tt>CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU</tt> with
+	<tt>CONFIG_RCU_BOOST</tt>, it manages the
+	per-<tt>rcu_node</tt> priority-boosting
+	kernel threads (kthreads) and state.
+	Finally, it records CPU-hotplug state in order to determine
+	which CPUs should be ignored during a given grace period.
+<li>	<tt>rcu_data</tt>: This per-CPU structure is the
+	focus of quiescent-state detection and RCU callback queuing.
+	It also tracks its relationship to the corresponding leaf
+	<tt>rcu_node</tt> structure to allow more-efficient
+	propagation of quiescent states up the <tt>rcu_node</tt>
+	combining tree.
+	Like the <tt>rcu_node</tt> structure, it provides a local
+	copy of the grace-period information to allow for-free
+	synchronized
+	access to this information from the corresponding CPU.
+	Finally, this structure records past dyntick-idle state
+	for the corresponding CPU and also tracks statistics.
+<li>	<tt>rcu_dynticks</tt>:
+	This per-CPU structure tracks the current dyntick-idle
+	state for the corresponding CPU.
+	Unlike the other three structures, the <tt>rcu_dynticks</tt>
+	structure is not replicated per RCU flavor.
+<li>	<tt>rcu_head</tt>:
+	This structure represents RCU callbacks, and is the
+	only structure allocated and managed by RCU users.
+	The <tt>rcu_head</tt> structure is normally embedded
+	within the RCU-protected data structure.
+</ol>
+
+<p>If all you wanted from this article was a general notion of how
+RCU's data structures are related, you are done.
+Otherwise, each of the following sections give more details on
+the <tt>rcu_state</tt>, <tt>rcu_node</tt>, <tt>rcu_data</tt>,
+and <tt>rcu_dynticks</tt> data structures.
+
+<h3><a name="The rcu_state Structure">
+The <tt>rcu_state</tt> Structure</a></h3>
+
+<p>The <tt>rcu_state</tt> structure is the base structure that
+represents a flavor of RCU.
+This structure forms the interconnection between the
+<tt>rcu_node</tt> and <tt>rcu_data</tt> structures,
+tracks grace periods, contains the lock used to
+synchronize with CPU-hotplug events,
+and maintains state used to force quiescent states when
+grace periods extend too long,
+
+</p><p>A few of the <tt>rcu_state</tt> structure's fields are discussed,
+singly and in groups, in the following sections.
+The more specialized fields are covered in the discussion of their
+use.
+
+<h5>Relationship to rcu_node and rcu_data Structures</h5>
+
+This portion of the <tt>rcu_state</tt> structure is declared
+as follows:
+
+<pre>
+  1   struct rcu_node node[NUM_RCU_NODES];
+  2   struct rcu_node *level[NUM_RCU_LVLS + 1];
+  3   struct rcu_data __percpu *rda;

+<tr><td bgcolor="#ffffff"><font color="ffffff">
+	The tree is laid out in the array.
+	The first node In the array is the head, the next set of nodes in the

+	</font>
+
+	<p><font color="ffffff">See the following diagrams to see how
+	this works.
+</font></td></tr>
+<tr><td>&nbsp;</td></tr>
+</table>
+
+<p>The <tt>rcu_node</tt> tree is embedded into the
+<tt>-&gt;node[]</tt> array as shown in the following figure:
+
+</p><p><img src="TreeMapping.svg" alt="TreeMapping.svg" width="40%">
+
+</p><p>One interesting consequence of this mapping is that a
+breadth-first traversal of the tree is implemented as a simple
+linear scan of the array, which is in fact what the
+<tt>rcu_for_each_node_breadth_first()</tt> macro does.
+This macro is used at the beginning and ends of grace periods.
+
+</p><p>Each entry of the <tt>-&gt;level</tt> array references
+the first <tt>rcu_node</tt> structure on the corresponding level
+of the tree, for example, as shown below:
+
+</p><p><img src="TreeMappingLevel.svg" alt="TreeMappingLevel.svg" width="40%">
+
+</p><p>The zero<sup>th</sup> element of the array references the root
+<tt>rcu_node</tt> structure, the first element references the
+first child of the root <tt>rcu_node</tt>, and finally the second
+element references the first leaf <tt>rcu_node</tt> structure.
+
+</p><p>For whatever it is worth, if you draw the tree to be tree-shaped
+rather than array-shaped, it is easy to draw a planar representation:
+
+</p><p><img src="TreeLevel.svg" alt="TreeLevel.svg" width="60%">
+
+</p><p>Finally, the <tt>-&gt;rda</tt> field references a per-CPU
+pointer to the corresponding CPU's <tt>rcu_data</tt> structure.
+
+</p><p>All of these fields are constant once initialization is complete,
+and therefore need no protection.
+
+<h5>Grace-Period Tracking</h5>
+
+<p>This portion of the <tt>rcu_state</tt> structure is declared
+as follows:
+
+<pre>
+  1   unsigned long gp_seq;
+</pre>
+
+<p>RCU grace periods are numbered, and
+the <tt>-&gt;gp_seq</tt> field contains the current grace-period
+sequence number.
+The bottom two bits are the state of the current grace period,
+which can be zero for not yet started or one for in progress.
+In other words, if the bottom two bits of <tt>-&gt;gp_seq</tt> are
+zero, the corresponding flavor of RCU is idle.
+Any other value in the bottom two bits indicates that something is broken.
+This field is protected by the root <tt>rcu_node</tt> structure's
+<tt>-&gt;lock</tt> field.
+
+</p><p>There are <tt>-&gt;gp_seq</tt> fields
+in the <tt>rcu_node</tt> and <tt>rcu_data</tt> structures
+as well.
+The fields in the <tt>rcu_state</tt> structure represent the
+most current value, and those of the other structures are compared
+in order to detect the beginnings and ends of grace periods in a distributed
+fashion.
+The values flow from <tt>rcu_state</tt> to <tt>rcu_node</tt>
+(down the tree from the root to the leaves) to <tt>rcu_data</tt>.
+
+<h5>Miscellaneous</h5>
+
+<p>This portion of the <tt>rcu_state</tt> structure is declared
+as follows:
+
+<pre>
+  1   unsigned long gp_max;
+  2   char abbr;
+  3   char *name;
+</pre>
+
+<p>The <tt>-&gt;gp_max</tt> field tracks the duration of the longest
+grace period in jiffies.
+It is protected by the root <tt>rcu_node</tt>'s <tt>-&gt;lock</tt>.
+
+<p>The <tt>-&gt;name</tt> field points to the name of the RCU flavor
+(for example, &ldquo;rcu_sched&rdquo;), and is constant.
+The <tt>-&gt;abbr</tt> field contains a one-character abbreviation,
+for example, &ldquo;s&rdquo; for RCU-sched.
+
+<h3><a name="The rcu_node Structure">
+The <tt>rcu_node</tt> Structure</a></h3>
+
+<p>The <tt>rcu_node</tt> structures form the combining
+tree that propagates quiescent-state
+information from the leaves to the root and also that propagates
+grace-period information from the root down to the leaves.
+They provides local copies of the grace-period state in order
+to allow this information to be accessed in a synchronized
+manner without suffering the scalability limitations that
+would otherwise be imposed by global locking.
+In <tt>CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU</tt> kernels, they manage the lists
+of tasks that have blocked while in their current
+RCU read-side critical section.
+In <tt>CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU</tt> with
+<tt>CONFIG_RCU_BOOST</tt>, they manage the
+per-<tt>rcu_node</tt> priority-boosting
+kernel threads (kthreads) and state.
+Finally, they record CPU-hotplug state in order to determine
+which CPUs should be ignored during a given grace period.
+
+</p><p>The <tt>rcu_node</tt> structure's fields are discussed,
+singly and in groups, in the following sections.
+
+<h5>Connection to Combining Tree</h5>
+
+<p>This portion of the <tt>rcu_node</tt> structure is declared
+as follows:
+
+<pre>
+  1   struct rcu_node *parent;
+  2   u8 level;

+
+<p>The <tt>-&gt;parent</tt> pointer references the <tt>rcu_node</tt>
+one level up in the tree, and is <tt>NULL</tt> for the root
+<tt>rcu_node</tt>.
+The RCU implementation makes heavy use of this field to push quiescent
+states up the tree.
+The <tt>-&gt;level</tt> field gives the level in the tree, with
+the root being at level zero, its children at level one, and so on.
+The <tt>-&gt;grpnum</tt> field gives this node's position within
+the children of its parent, so this number can range between 0 and 31
+on 32-bit systems and between 0 and 63 on 64-bit systems.
+The <tt>-&gt;level</tt> and <tt>-&gt;grpnum</tt> fields are
+used only during initialization and for tracing.
+The <tt>-&gt;grpmask</tt> field is the bitmask counterpart of
+<tt>-&gt;grpnum</tt>, and therefore always has exactly one bit set.
+This mask is used to clear the bit corresponding to this <tt>rcu_node</tt>
+structure in its parent's bitmasks, which are described later.
+Finally, the <tt>-&gt;grplo</tt> and <tt>-&gt;grphi</tt> fields
+contain the lowest and highest numbered CPU served by this
+<tt>rcu_node</tt> structure, respectively.
+
+</p><p>All of these fields are constant, and thus do not require any
+synchronization.
+
+<h5>Synchronization</h5>
+
+<p>This field of the <tt>rcu_node</tt> structure is declared
+as follows:
+
+<pre>
+  1   raw_spinlock_t lock;
+</pre>
+
+<p>This field is used to protect the remaining fields in this structure,
+unless otherwise stated.
+That said, all of the fields in this structure can be accessed without
+locking for tracing purposes.
+Yes, this can result in confusing traces, but better some tracing confusion
+than to be heisenbugged out of existence.
+
+<h5>Grace-Period Tracking</h5>
+
+<p>This portion of the <tt>rcu_node</tt> structure is declared
+as follows:
+
+<pre>
+  1   unsigned long gp_seq;
+  2   unsigned long gp_seq_needed;
+</pre>
+
+<p>The <tt>rcu_node</tt> structures' <tt>-&gt;gp_seq</tt> fields are
+the counterparts of the field of the same name in the <tt>rcu_state</tt>
+structure.
+They each may lag up to one step behind their <tt>rcu_state</tt>
+counterpart.
+If the bottom two bits of a given <tt>rcu_node</tt> structure's
+<tt>-&gt;gp_seq</tt> field is zero, then this <tt>rcu_node</tt>
+structure believes that RCU is idle.
+</p><p>The <tt>&gt;gp_seq</tt> field of each <tt>rcu_node</tt>
+structure is updated at the beginning and the end
+of each grace period.
+
+<p>The <tt>-&gt;gp_seq_needed</tt> fields record the
+furthest-in-the-future grace period request seen by the corresponding
+<tt>rcu_node</tt> structure.  The request is considered fulfilled when
+the value of the <tt>-&gt;gp_seq</tt> field equals or exceeds that of
+the <tt>-&gt;gp_seq_needed</tt> field.

+<h5>Quiescent-State Tracking</h5>
+
+<p>These fields manage the propagation of quiescent states up the
+combining tree.
+
+</p><p>This portion of the <tt>rcu_node</tt> structure has fields
+as follows:
+
+<pre>
+  1   unsigned long qsmask;
+  2   unsigned long expmask;
+  3   unsigned long qsmaskinit;
+  4   unsigned long expmaskinit;
+</pre>
+
+<p>The <tt>-&gt;qsmask</tt> field tracks which of this
+<tt>rcu_node</tt> structure's children still need to report
+quiescent states for the current normal grace period.
+Such children will have a value of 1 in their corresponding bit.
+Note that the leaf <tt>rcu_node</tt> structures should be
+thought of as having <tt>rcu_data</tt> structures as their
+children.
+Similarly, the <tt>-&gt;expmask</tt> field tracks which
+of this <tt>rcu_node</tt> structure's children still need to report
+quiescent states for the current expedited grace period.
+An expedited grace period has
+the same conceptual properties as a normal grace period, but the
+expedited implementation accepts extreme CPU overhead to obtain
+much lower grace-period latency, for example, consuming a few
+tens of microseconds worth of CPU time to reduce grace-period
+duration from milliseconds to tens of microseconds.
+The <tt>-&gt;qsmaskinit</tt> field tracks which of this
+<tt>rcu_node</tt> structure's children cover for at least
+one online CPU.
+This mask is used to initialize <tt>-&gt;qsmask</tt>,
+and <tt>-&gt;expmaskinit</tt> is used to initialize
+<tt>-&gt;expmask</tt> and the beginning of the
+normal and expedited grace periods, respectively.

+
+<h5>Blocked-Task Management</h5>
+
+<p><tt>PREEMPT_RCU</tt> allows tasks to be preempted in the
+midst of their RCU read-side critical sections, and these tasks
+must be tracked explicitly.
+The details of exactly why and how they are tracked will be covered
+in a separate article on RCU read-side processing.
+For now, it is enough to know that the <tt>rcu_node</tt>
+structure tracks them.
+
+<pre>
+  1   struct list_head blkd_tasks;
+  2   struct list_head *gp_tasks;
+  3   struct list_head *exp_tasks;
+  4   bool wait_blkd_tasks;
+</pre>
+
+<p>The <tt>-&gt;blkd_tasks</tt> field is a list header for
+the list of blocked and preempted tasks.
+As tasks undergo context switches within RCU read-side critical
+sections, their <tt>task_struct</tt> structures are enqueued
+(via the <tt>task_struct</tt>'s <tt>-&gt;rcu_node_entry</tt>
+field) onto the head of the <tt>-&gt;blkd_tasks</tt> list for the
+leaf <tt>rcu_node</tt> structure corresponding to the CPU
+on which the outgoing context switch executed.
+As these tasks later exit their RCU read-side critical sections,
+they remove themselves from the list.
+This list is therefore in reverse time order, so that if one of the tasks
+is blocking the current grace period, all subsequent tasks must
+also be blocking that same grace period.
+Therefore, a single pointer into this list suffices to track
+all tasks blocking a given grace period.
+That pointer is stored in <tt>-&gt;gp_tasks</tt> for normal
+grace periods and in <tt>-&gt;exp_tasks</tt> for expedited
+grace periods.
+These last two fields are <tt>NULL</tt> if either there is
+no grace period in flight or if there are no blocked tasks
+preventing that grace period from completing.
+If either of these two pointers is referencing a task that
+removes itself from the <tt>-&gt;blkd_tasks</tt> list,
+then that task must advance the pointer to the next task on
+the list, or set the pointer to <tt>NULL</tt> if there
+are no subsequent tasks on the list.
+
+</p><p>For example, suppose that tasks&nbsp;T1, T2, and&nbsp;T3 are
+all hard-affinitied to the largest-numbered CPU in the system.
+Then if task&nbsp;T1 blocked in an RCU read-side
+critical section, then an expedited grace period started,
+then task&nbsp;T2 blocked in an RCU read-side critical section,
+then a normal grace period started, and finally task&nbsp;3 blocked
+in an RCU read-side critical section, then the state of the
+last leaf <tt>rcu_node</tt> structure's blocked-task list
+would be as shown below:
+
+</p><p><img src="blkd_task.svg" alt="blkd_task.svg" width="60%">
+
+</p><p>Task&nbsp;T1 is blocking both grace periods, task&nbsp;T2 is
+blocking only the normal grace period, and task&nbsp;T3 is blocking
+neither grace period.
+Note that these tasks will not remove themselves from this list
+immediately upon resuming execution.
+They will instead remain on the list until they execute the outermost
+<tt>rcu_read_unlock()</tt> that ends their RCU read-side critical
+section.
+
+<p>
+The <tt>-&gt;wait_blkd_tasks</tt> field indicates whether or not
+the current grace period is waiting on a blocked task.

+<p>The maximum number of levels in the <tt>rcu_node</tt> structure
+is currently limited to four, as specified by lines&nbsp;21-24
+and the structure of the subsequent &ldquo;if&rdquo; statement.
+For 32-bit systems, this allows 16*32*32*32=524,288 CPUs, which
+should be sufficient for the next few years at least.
+For 64-bit systems, 16*64*64*64=4,194,304 CPUs is allowed, which
+should see us through the next decade or so.
+This four-level tree also allows kernels built with
+<tt>CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT=8</tt> to support up to 4096 CPUs,
+which might be useful in very large systems having eight CPUs per
+socket (but please note that no one has yet shown any measurable
+performance degradation due to misaligned socket and <tt>rcu_node</tt>
+boundaries).
+In addition, building kernels with a full four levels of <tt>rcu_node</tt>
+tree permits better testing of RCU's combining-tree code.
+
+</p><p>The <tt>RCU_FANOUT</tt> symbol controls how many children

+If the <tt>CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT</tt> Kconfig option is not specified,
+it is set based on the word size of the system, which is also
+the Kconfig default.
+
+</p><p>The <tt>RCU_FANOUT_LEAF</tt> symbol controls how many CPUs are
+handled by each leaf <tt>rcu_node</tt> structure.
+Experience has shown that allowing a given leaf <tt>rcu_node</tt>
+structure to handle 64 CPUs, as permitted by the number of bits in
+the <tt>-&gt;qsmask</tt> field on a 64-bit system, results in
+excessive contention for the leaf <tt>rcu_node</tt> structures'
+<tt>-&gt;lock</tt> fields.
+The number of CPUs per leaf <tt>rcu_node</tt> structure is therefore
+limited to 16 given the default value of <tt>CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT_LEAF</tt>.
+If <tt>CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT_LEAF</tt> is unspecified, the value
+selected is based on the word size of the system, just as for
+<tt>CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT</tt>.
+Lines&nbsp;11-19 perform this computation.

+respectively, given the fanout specified by <tt>RCU_FANOUT</tt>
+and <tt>RCU_FANOUT_LEAF</tt>.
+These numbers of CPUs are retained in the

+<tt>RCU_FANOUT_2</tt>,
+<tt>RCU_FANOUT_3</tt>, and
+<tt>RCU_FANOUT_4</tt>
+C-preprocessor variables, respectively.

+</p><p>These variables are used to control the C-preprocessor <tt>#if</tt>
+statement spanning lines&nbsp;26-66 that computes the number of

+The number of levels is placed in the <tt>NUM_RCU_LVLS</tt>
+C-preprocessor variable by lines&nbsp;27, 35, 44, and&nbsp;54.
+The number of <tt>rcu_node</tt> structures for the topmost level

+The rest of the levels (if any) of the <tt>rcu_node</tt> tree

+	grace period to start.
+<li>	<tt>RCU_NEXT_TAIL</tt>: Callbacks that have not yet been
+	associated with a grace period.
+</ol>
+
+<p>
+The <tt>-&gt;head</tt> pointer references the first callback or
+is <tt>NULL</tt> if the list contains no callbacks (which is
+<i>not</i> the same as being empty).
+Each element of the <tt>-&gt;tails[]</tt> array references the
+<tt>-&gt;next</tt> pointer of the last callback in the corresponding
+segment of the list, or the list's <tt>-&gt;head</tt> pointer if
+that segment and all previous segments are empty.
+If the corresponding segment is empty but some previous segment is
+not empty, then the array element is identical to its predecessor.
+Older callbacks are closer to the head of the list, and new callbacks
+are added at the tail.
+This relationship between the <tt>-&gt;head</tt> pointer, the

+of the callbacks is ready to invoke.
+The <tt>-&gt;tails[RCU_WAIT_TAIL]</tt> array element references callback

+The <tt>-&gt;tails[RCU_NEXT_READY_TAIL]</tt> array element
+references the same RCU callback that <tt>-&gt;tails[RCU_WAIT_TAIL]</tt>
+does, which indicates that there are no callbacks waiting on the next
+RCU grace period.
+The <tt>-&gt;tails[RCU_NEXT_TAIL]</tt> array element references
+CB&nbsp;4's <tt>-&gt;next</tt> pointer, indicating that all the

+as grace periods advance.
+
+</p><p>The <tt>-&gt;gp_seq[]</tt> array records grace-period
+numbers corresponding to the list segments.
+This is what allows different CPUs to have different ideas as to
+which is the current grace period while still avoiding premature
+invocation of their callbacks.
+In particular, this allows CPUs that go idle for extended periods
+to determine which of their callbacks are ready to be invoked after
+reawakening.
+
+</p><p>The <tt>-&gt;len</tt> counter contains the number of
+callbacks in <tt>-&gt;head</tt>, and the
+<tt>-&gt;len_lazy</tt> contains the number of those callbacks that
+are known to only free memory, and whose invocation can therefore
+be safely deferred.
+
+<p><b>Important note</b>: It is the <tt>-&gt;len</tt> field that
+determines whether or not there are callbacks associated with
+this <tt>rcu_segcblist</tt> structure, <i>not</i> the <tt>-&gt;head</tt>
+pointer.
+The reason for this is that all the ready-to-invoke callbacks
+(that is, those in the <tt>RCU_DONE_TAIL</tt> segment) are extracted
+all at once at callback-invocation time.
+If callback invocation must be postponed, for example, because a
+high-priority process just woke up on this CPU, then the remaining
+callbacks are placed back on the <tt>RCU_DONE_TAIL</tt> segment.
+Either way, the <tt>-&gt;len</tt> and <tt>-&gt;len_lazy</tt> counts
+are adjusted after the corresponding callbacks have been invoked, and so
+again it is the <tt>-&gt;len</tt> count that accurately reflects whether
+or not there are callbacks associated with this <tt>rcu_segcblist</tt>
+structure.
+Of course, off-CPU sampling of the <tt>-&gt;len</tt> count requires
+the use of appropriate synchronization, for example, memory barriers.
+This synchronization can be a bit subtle, particularly in the case
+of <tt>rcu_barrier()</tt>.
+
+<h3><a name="The rcu_data Structure">
+The <tt>rcu_data</tt> Structure</a></h3>
+
+<p>The <tt>rcu_data</tt> maintains the per-CPU state for the
+corresponding flavor of RCU.
+The fields in this structure may be accessed only from the corresponding
+CPU (and from tracing) unless otherwise stated.
+This structure is the
+focus of quiescent-state detection and RCU callback queuing.
+It also tracks its relationship to the corresponding leaf
+<tt>rcu_node</tt> structure to allow more-efficient
+propagation of quiescent states up the <tt>rcu_node</tt>
+combining tree.
+Like the <tt>rcu_node</tt> structure, it provides a local
+copy of the grace-period information to allow for-free
+synchronized
+access to this information from the corresponding CPU.
+Finally, this structure records past dyntick-idle state
+for the corresponding CPU and also tracks statistics.
+
+</p><p>The <tt>rcu_data</tt> structure's fields are discussed,
+singly and in groups, in the following sections.
+
+<h5>Connection to Other Data Structures</h5>
+
+<p>This portion of the <tt>rcu_data</tt> structure is declared
+as follows:
+
+<pre>
+  1   int cpu;
+  2   struct rcu_state *rsp;
+  3   struct rcu_node *mynode;
+  4   struct rcu_dynticks *dynticks;
+  5   unsigned long grpmask;
+  6   bool beenonline;
+</pre>
+
+<p>The <tt>-&gt;cpu</tt> field contains the number of the
+corresponding CPU, the <tt>-&gt;rsp</tt> pointer references
+the corresponding <tt>rcu_state</tt> structure (and is most frequently
+used to locate the name of the corresponding flavor of RCU for tracing),
+and the <tt>-&gt;mynode</tt> field references the corresponding
+<tt>rcu_node</tt> structure.
+The <tt>-&gt;mynode</tt> is used to propagate quiescent states
+up the combining tree.
+<p>The <tt>-&gt;dynticks</tt> pointer references the
+<tt>rcu_dynticks</tt> structure corresponding to this
+CPU.
+Recall that a single per-CPU instance of the <tt>rcu_dynticks</tt>
+structure is shared among all flavors of RCU.
+These first four fields are constant and therefore require not
+synchronization.
+
+</p><p>The <tt>-&gt;grpmask</tt> field indicates the bit in
+the <tt>-&gt;mynode-&gt;qsmask</tt> corresponding to this
+<tt>rcu_data</tt> structure, and is also used when propagating
+quiescent states.
+The <tt>-&gt;beenonline</tt> flag is set whenever the corresponding
+CPU comes online, which means that the debugfs tracing need not dump
+out any <tt>rcu_data</tt> structure for which this flag is not set.
+
+<h5>Quiescent-State and Grace-Period Tracking</h5>
+
+<p>This portion of the <tt>rcu_data</tt> structure is declared
+as follows:
+
+<pre>
+  1   unsigned long gp_seq;
+  2   unsigned long gp_seq_needed;
+  3   bool cpu_no_qs;
+  4   bool core_needs_qs;
+  5   bool gpwrap;
+  6   unsigned long rcu_qs_ctr_snap;
+</pre>
+
+<p>The <tt>-&gt;gp_seq</tt> and <tt>-&gt;gp_seq_needed</tt>
+fields are the counterparts of the fields of the same name
+in the <tt>rcu_state</tt> and <tt>rcu_node</tt> structures.
+They may each lag up to one behind their <tt>rcu_node</tt>
+counterparts, but in <tt>CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE</tt> and
+<tt>CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL</tt> kernels can lag
+arbitrarily far behind for CPUs in dyntick-idle mode (but these counters
+will catch up upon exit from dyntick-idle mode).
+If the lower two bits of a given <tt>rcu_data</tt> structure's
+<tt>-&gt;gp_seq</tt> are zero, then this <tt>rcu_data</tt>
+structure believes that RCU is idle.
+

+</font></td></tr>
+<tr><td>&nbsp;</td></tr>
+</table>
+
+<p>The <tt>-&gt;cpu_no_qs</tt> flag indicates that the
+CPU has not yet passed through a quiescent state,
+while the <tt>-&gt;core_needs_qs</tt> flag indicates that the
+RCU core needs a quiescent state from the corresponding CPU.
+The <tt>-&gt;gpwrap</tt> field indicates that the corresponding
+CPU has remained idle for so long that the
+<tt>gp_seq</tt> counter is in danger of overflow, which
+will cause the CPU to disregard the values of its counters on
+its next exit from idle.
+Finally, the <tt>rcu_qs_ctr_snap</tt> field is used to detect
+cases where a given operation has resulted in a quiescent state
+for all flavors of RCU, for example, <tt>cond_resched()</tt>
+when RCU has indicated a need for quiescent states.
+
+<h5>RCU Callback Handling</h5>
+
+<p>In the absence of CPU-hotplug events, RCU callbacks are invoked by
+the same CPU that registered them.
+This is strictly a cache-locality optimization: callbacks can and
+do get invoked on CPUs other than the one that registered them.
+After all, if the CPU that registered a given callback has gone
+offline before the callback can be invoked, there really is no other
+choice.
+
+</p><p>This portion of the <tt>rcu_data</tt> structure is declared
+as follows:
+
+<pre>
+ 1 struct rcu_segcblist cblist;
+ 2 long qlen_last_fqs_check;
+ 3 unsigned long n_cbs_invoked;
+ 4 unsigned long n_nocbs_invoked;
+ 5 unsigned long n_cbs_orphaned;
+ 6 unsigned long n_cbs_adopted;
+ 7 unsigned long n_force_qs_snap;
+ 8 long blimit;
+</pre>
+
+<p>The <tt>-&gt;cblist</tt> structure is the segmented callback list
+described earlier.
+The CPU advances the callbacks in its <tt>rcu_data</tt> structure
+whenever it notices that another RCU grace period has completed.
+The CPU detects the completion of an RCU grace period by noticing
+that the value of its <tt>rcu_data</tt> structure's
+<tt>-&gt;gp_seq</tt> field differs from that of its leaf
+<tt>rcu_node</tt> structure.
+Recall that each <tt>rcu_node</tt> structure's
+<tt>-&gt;gp_seq</tt> field is updated at the beginnings and ends of each
+grace period.
+
+<p>
+The <tt>-&gt;qlen_last_fqs_check</tt> and
+<tt>-&gt;n_force_qs_snap</tt> coordinate the forcing of quiescent
+states from <tt>call_rcu()</tt> and friends when callback
+lists grow excessively long.
+
+</p><p>The <tt>-&gt;n_cbs_invoked</tt>,
+<tt>-&gt;n_cbs_orphaned</tt>, and <tt>-&gt;n_cbs_adopted</tt>
+fields count the number of callbacks invoked,
+sent to other CPUs when this CPU goes offline,
+and received from other CPUs when those other CPUs go offline.
+The <tt>-&gt;n_nocbs_invoked</tt> is used when the CPU's callbacks
+are offloaded to a kthread.
+
+<p>
+Finally, the <tt>-&gt;blimit</tt> counter is the maximum number of
+RCU callbacks that may be invoked at a given time.
+
+<h5>Dyntick-Idle Handling</h5>
+
+<p>This portion of the <tt>rcu_data</tt> structure is declared
+as follows:
+
+<pre>
+  1   int dynticks_snap;
+  2   unsigned long dynticks_fqs;
+</pre>
+
+The <tt>-&gt;dynticks_snap</tt> field is used to take a snapshot
+of the corresponding CPU's dyntick-idle state when forcing
+quiescent states, and is therefore accessed from other CPUs.
+Finally, the <tt>-&gt;dynticks_fqs</tt> field is used to
+count the number of times this CPU is determined to be in
+dyntick-idle state, and is used for tracing and debugging purposes.
+
+<h3><a name="The rcu_dynticks Structure">
+The <tt>rcu_dynticks</tt> Structure</a></h3>
+
+<p>The <tt>rcu_dynticks</tt> maintains the per-CPU dyntick-idle state
+for the corresponding CPU.
+Unlike the other structures, <tt>rcu_dynticks</tt> is not
+replicated over the different flavors of RCU.
+The fields in this structure may be accessed only from the corresponding
+CPU (and from tracing) unless otherwise stated.
+Its fields are as follows:
+
+<pre>
+  1   long dynticks_nesting;
+  2   long dynticks_nmi_nesting;
+  3   atomic_t dynticks;
+  4   bool rcu_need_heavy_qs;
+  5   unsigned long rcu_qs_ctr;
+  6   bool rcu_urgent_qs;
+</pre>
+
+<p>The <tt>-&gt;dynticks_nesting</tt> field counts the
+nesting depth of process execution, so that in normal circumstances
+this counter has value zero or one.
+NMIs, irqs, and tracers are counted by the <tt>-&gt;dynticks_nmi_nesting</tt>
+field.
+Because NMIs cannot be masked, changes to this variable have to be
+undertaken carefully using an algorithm provided by Andy Lutomirski.
+The initial transition from idle adds one, and nested transitions
+add two, so that a nesting level of five is represented by a
+<tt>-&gt;dynticks_nmi_nesting</tt> value of nine.
+This counter can therefore be thought of as counting the number
+of reasons why this CPU cannot be permitted to enter dyntick-idle
+mode, aside from process-level transitions.
+
+<p>However, it turns out that when running in non-idle kernel context,
+the Linux kernel is fully capable of entering interrupt handlers that
+never exit and perhaps also vice versa.
+Therefore, whenever the <tt>-&gt;dynticks_nesting</tt> field is
+incremented up from zero, the <tt>-&gt;dynticks_nmi_nesting</tt> field
+is set to a large positive number, and whenever the
+<tt>-&gt;dynticks_nesting</tt> field is decremented down to zero,
+the the <tt>-&gt;dynticks_nmi_nesting</tt> field is set to zero.
+Assuming that the number of misnested interrupts is not sufficient
+to overflow the counter, this approach corrects the
+<tt>-&gt;dynticks_nmi_nesting</tt> field every time the corresponding
+CPU enters the idle loop from process context.
+
+</p><p>The <tt>-&gt;dynticks</tt> field counts the corresponding
+CPU's transitions to and from dyntick-idle mode, so that this counter
+has an even value when the CPU is in dyntick-idle mode and an odd
+value otherwise.
+
+</p><p>The <tt>-&gt;rcu_need_heavy_qs</tt> field is used
+to record the fact that the RCU core code would really like to
+see a quiescent state from the corresponding CPU, so much so that
+it is willing to call for heavy-weight dyntick-counter operations.
+This flag is checked by RCU's context-switch and <tt>cond_resched()</tt>
+code, which provide a momentary idle sojourn in response.
+
+</p><p>The <tt>-&gt;rcu_qs_ctr</tt> field is used to record
+quiescent states from <tt>cond_resched()</tt>.
+Because <tt>cond_resched()</tt> can execute quite frequently, this
+must be quite lightweight, as in a non-atomic increment of this
+per-CPU field.
+
+</p><p>Finally, the <tt>-&gt;rcu_urgent_qs</tt> field is used to record
+the fact that the RCU core code would really like to see a quiescent
+state from the corresponding CPU, with the various other fields indicating
+just how badly RCU wants this quiescent state.
+This flag is checked by RCU's context-switch and <tt>cond_resched()</tt>
+code, which, if nothing else, non-atomically increment <tt>-&gt;rcu_qs_ctr</tt>
+in response.

+
+<h3><a name="The rcu_head Structure">
+The <tt>rcu_head</tt> Structure</a></h3>
+
+<p>Each <tt>rcu_head</tt> structure represents an RCU callback.
+These structures are normally embedded within RCU-protected data
+structures whose algorithms use asynchronous grace periods.
+In contrast, when using algorithms that block waiting for RCU grace periods,
+RCU users need not provide <tt>rcu_head</tt> structures.
+
+</p><p>The <tt>rcu_head</tt> structure has fields as follows:
+
+<pre>
+  1   struct rcu_head *next;
+  2   void (*func)(struct rcu_head *head);
+</pre>
+
+<p>The <tt>-&gt;next</tt> field is used
+to link the <tt>rcu_head</tt> structures together in the
+lists within the <tt>rcu_data</tt> structures.
+The <tt>-&gt;func</tt> field is a pointer to the function
+to be called when the callback is ready to be invoked, and
+this function is passed a pointer to the <tt>rcu_head</tt>
+structure.
+However, <tt>kfree_rcu()</tt> uses the <tt>-&gt;func</tt>
+field to record the offset of the <tt>rcu_head</tt>
+structure within the enclosing RCU-protected data structure.
+
+</p><p>Both of these fields are used internally by RCU.

+RCU-Specific Fields in the <tt>task_struct</tt> Structure</a></h3>
+
+<p>The <tt>CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU</tt> implementation uses some

+
+<p>The <tt>-&gt;rcu_read_lock_nesting</tt> field records the
+nesting level for RCU read-side critical sections, and
+the <tt>-&gt;rcu_read_unlock_special</tt> field is a bitmask
+that records special conditions that require <tt>rcu_read_unlock()</tt>
+to do additional work.
+The <tt>-&gt;rcu_node_entry</tt> field is used to form lists of

+
+<h2>Introduction</h2>
+
+This document describes RCU's expedited grace periods.
+Unlike RCU's normal grace periods, which accept long latencies to attain
+high efficiency and minimal disturbance, expedited grace periods accept
+lower efficiency and significant disturbance to attain shorter latencies.
+
+<p>
+There are three flavors of RCU (RCU-bh, RCU-preempt, and RCU-sched),
+but only two flavors of expedited grace periods because the RCU-bh
+expedited grace period maps onto the RCU-sched expedited grace period.
+Each of the remaining two implementations is covered in its own section.

+<h2><a name="Expedited Grace Period Design">
+Expedited Grace Period Design</a></h2>
+
+<p>
+The expedited RCU grace periods cannot be accused of being subtle,
+given that they for all intents and purposes hammer every CPU that
+has not yet provided a quiescent state for the current expedited
+grace period.
+The one saving grace is that the hammer has grown a bit smaller
+over time:  The old call to <tt>try_stop_cpus()</tt> has been
+replaced with a set of calls to <tt>smp_call_function_single()</tt>,
+each of which results in an IPI to the target CPU.
+The corresponding handler function checks the CPU's state, motivating
+a faster quiescent state where possible, and triggering a report
+of that quiescent state.
+As always for RCU, once everything has spent some time in a quiescent
+state, the expedited grace period has completed.
+
+<p>
+The details of the <tt>smp_call_function_single()</tt> handler's
+operation depend on the RCU flavor, as described in the following
+sections.
+
+<h2><a name="RCU-preempt Expedited Grace Periods">
+RCU-preempt Expedited Grace Periods</a></h2>
+
+<p>
+The overall flow of the handling of a given CPU by an RCU-preempt
+expedited grace period is shown in the following diagram:
+
+<p><img src="ExpRCUFlow.svg" alt="ExpRCUFlow.svg" width="55%">
+
+<p>
+The solid arrows denote direct action, for example, a function call.
+The dotted arrows denote indirect action, for example, an IPI
+or a state that is reached after some time.
+
+<p>
+If a given CPU is offline or idle, <tt>synchronize_rcu_expedited()</tt>
+will ignore it because idle and offline CPUs are already residing
+in quiescent states.
+Otherwise, the expedited grace period will use
+<tt>smp_call_function_single()</tt> to send the CPU an IPI, which
+is handled by <tt>sync_rcu_exp_handler()</tt>.
+
+<p>
+However, because this is preemptible RCU, <tt>sync_rcu_exp_handler()</tt>
+can check to see if the CPU is currently running in an RCU read-side
+critical section.
+If not, the handler can immediately report a quiescent state.
+Otherwise, it sets flags so that the outermost <tt>rcu_read_unlock()</tt>
+invocation will provide the needed quiescent-state report.
+This flag-setting avoids the previous forced preemption of all
+CPUs that might have RCU read-side critical sections.
+In addition, this flag-setting is done so as to avoid increasing
+the overhead of the common-case fastpath through the scheduler.
+
+<p>
+Again because this is preemptible RCU, an RCU read-side critical section
+can be preempted.
+When that happens, RCU will enqueue the task, which will the continue to
+block the current expedited grace period until it resumes and finds its
+outermost <tt>rcu_read_unlock()</tt>.
+The CPU will report a quiescent state just after enqueuing the task because
+the CPU is no longer blocking the grace period.
+It is instead the preempted task doing the blocking.
+The list of blocked tasks is managed by <tt>rcu_preempt_ctxt_queue()</tt>,
+which is called from <tt>rcu_preempt_note_context_switch()</tt>, which
+in turn is called from <tt>rcu_note_context_switch()</tt>, which in
+turn is called from the scheduler.

+<tr><td bgcolor="#ffffff"><font color="ffffff">
+	Because we want the RCU read-side critical sections to run fast,

+	still be necessary to IPI the CPU to safely interact with the
+	upcoming <tt>rcu_read_unlock()</tt> invocation, which means that
+	the remote state testing would not help the worst-case

+	state without needing to IPI the CPU.

+<p>
+Please note that this is just the overall flow:
+Additional complications can arise due to races with CPUs going idle
+or offline, among other things.
+
+<h2><a name="RCU-sched Expedited Grace Periods">
+RCU-sched Expedited Grace Periods</a></h2>
+
+<p>
+The overall flow of the handling of a given CPU by an RCU-sched
+expedited grace period is shown in the following diagram:
+
+<p><img src="ExpSchedFlow.svg" alt="ExpSchedFlow.svg" width="55%">
+
+<p>
+As with RCU-preempt's <tt>synchronize_rcu_expedited()</tt>,
+<tt>synchronize_sched_expedited()</tt> ignores offline and
+idle CPUs, again because they are in remotely detectable
+quiescent states.
+However, the <tt>synchronize_rcu_expedited()</tt> handler
+is <tt>sync_sched_exp_handler()</tt>, and because the
+<tt>rcu_read_lock_sched()</tt> and <tt>rcu_read_unlock_sched()</tt>
+leave no trace of their invocation, in general it is not possible to tell
+whether or not the current CPU is in an RCU read-side critical section.
+The best that <tt>sync_sched_exp_handler()</tt> can do is to check
+for idle, on the off-chance that the CPU went idle while the IPI
+was in flight.
+If the CPU is idle, then tt>sync_sched_exp_handler()</tt> reports
+the quiescent state.
+
+<p>
+Otherwise, the handler invokes <tt>resched_cpu()</tt>, which forces
+a future context switch.
+At the time of the context switch, the CPU reports the quiescent state.
+Should the CPU go offline first, it will report the quiescent state
+at that time.
+
+<h2><a name="Expedited Grace Period and CPU Hotplug">
+Expedited Grace Period and CPU Hotplug</a></h2>
+
+<p>
+The expedited nature of expedited grace periods require a much tighter
+interaction with CPU hotplug operations than is required for normal
+grace periods.
+In addition, attempting to IPI offline CPUs will result in splats, but
+failing to IPI online CPUs can result in too-short grace periods.
+Neither option is acceptable in production kernels.
+
+<p>
+The interaction between expedited grace periods and CPU hotplug operations
+is carried out at several levels:
+
+<ol>
+<li>	The number of CPUs that have ever been online is tracked
+	by the <tt>rcu_state</tt> structure's <tt>-&gt;ncpus</tt>
+	field.
+	The <tt>rcu_state</tt> structure's <tt>-&gt;ncpus_snap</tt>
+	field tracks the number of CPUs that have ever been online
+	at the beginning of an RCU expedited grace period.
+	Note that this number never decreases, at least in the absence
+	of a time machine.
+<li>	The identities of the CPUs that have ever been online is
+	tracked by the <tt>rcu_node</tt> structure's
+	<tt>-&gt;expmaskinitnext</tt> field.
+	The <tt>rcu_node</tt> structure's <tt>-&gt;expmaskinit</tt>
+	field tracks the identities of the CPUs that were online
+	at least once at the beginning of the most recent RCU
+	expedited grace period.
+	The <tt>rcu_state</tt> structure's <tt>-&gt;ncpus</tt> and
+	<tt>-&gt;ncpus_snap</tt> fields are used to detect when
+	new CPUs have come online for the first time, that is,
+	when the <tt>rcu_node</tt> structure's <tt>-&gt;expmaskinitnext</tt>
+	field has changed since the beginning of the last RCU
+	expedited grace period, which triggers an update of each
+	<tt>rcu_node</tt> structure's <tt>-&gt;expmaskinit</tt>
+	field from its <tt>-&gt;expmaskinitnext</tt> field.
+<li>	Each <tt>rcu_node</tt> structure's <tt>-&gt;expmaskinit</tt>
+	field is used to initialize that structure's
+	<tt>-&gt;expmask</tt> at the beginning of each RCU
+	expedited grace period.
+	This means that only those CPUs that have been online at least
+	once will be considered for a given grace period.
+<li>	Any CPU that goes offline will clear its bit in its leaf
+	<tt>rcu_node</tt> structure's <tt>-&gt;qsmaskinitnext</tt>
+	field, so any CPU with that bit clear can safely be ignored.
+	However, it is possible for a CPU coming online or going offline
+	to have this bit set for some time while <tt>cpu_online</tt>
+	returns <tt>false</tt>.
+<li>	For each non-idle CPU that RCU believes is currently online, the grace
+	period invokes <tt>smp_call_function_single()</tt>.
+	If this succeeds, the CPU was fully online.
+	Failure indicates that the CPU is in the process of coming online
+	or going offline, in which case it is necessary to wait for a
+	short time period and try again.
+	The purpose of this wait (or series of waits, as the case may be)
+	is to permit a concurrent CPU-hotplug operation to complete.
+<li>	In the case of RCU-sched, one of the last acts of an outgoing CPU
+	is to invoke <tt>rcu_report_dead()</tt>, which
+	reports a quiescent state for that CPU.
+	However, this is likely paranoia-induced redundancy. <!-- @@@ -->
+</ol>

+<tr><th>&nbsp;</th></tr>
+<tr><th align="left">Quick Quiz:</th></tr>
+<tr><td>
+	Why all the dancing around with multiple counters and masks
+	tracking CPUs that were once online?
+	Why not just have a single set of masks tracking the currently
+	online CPUs and be done with it?
+</td></tr>
+<tr><th align="left">Answer:</th></tr>
+<tr><td bgcolor="#ffffff"><font color="ffffff">
+	Maintaining single set of masks tracking the online CPUs <i>sounds</i>
+	easier, at least until you try working out all the race conditions
+	between grace-period initialization and CPU-hotplug operations.
+	For example, suppose initialization is progressing down the
+	tree while a CPU-offline operation is progressing up the tree.
+	This situation can result in bits set at the top of the tree
+	that have no counterparts at the bottom of the tree.
+	Those bits will never be cleared, which will result in
+	grace-period hangs.
+	In short, that way lies madness, to say nothing of a great many
+	bugs, hangs, and deadlocks.
+
+	<p><font color="ffffff">
+	In contrast, the current multi-mask multi-counter scheme ensures
+	that grace-period initialization will always see consistent masks
+	up and down the tree, which brings significant simplifications

+<h3><a name="Idle-CPU Checks">Idle-CPU Checks</a></h3>
+
+<p>
+Each expedited grace period checks for idle CPUs when initially forming
+the mask of CPUs to be IPIed and again just before IPIing a CPU
+(both checks are carried out by <tt>sync_rcu_exp_select_cpus()</tt>).
+If the CPU is idle at any time between those two times, the CPU will
+not be IPIed.
+Instead, the task pushing the grace period forward will include the
+idle CPUs in the mask passed to <tt>rcu_report_exp_cpu_mult()</tt>.
+
+<p>
+For RCU-sched, there is an additional check for idle in the IPI
+handler, <tt>sync_sched_exp_handler()</tt>.
+If the IPI has interrupted the idle loop, then
+<tt>sync_sched_exp_handler()</tt> invokes <tt>rcu_report_exp_rdp()</tt>
+to report the corresponding quiescent state.
+
+<p>
+For RCU-preempt, there is no specific check for idle in the
+IPI handler (<tt>sync_rcu_exp_handler()</tt>), but because
+RCU read-side critical sections are not permitted within the
+idle loop, if <tt>sync_rcu_exp_handler()</tt> sees that the CPU is within
+RCU read-side critical section, the CPU cannot possibly be idle.
+Otherwise, <tt>sync_rcu_exp_handler()</tt> invokes
+<tt>rcu_report_exp_rdp()</tt> to report the corresponding quiescent
+state, regardless of whether or not that quiescent state was due to
+the CPU being idle.
+
+<p>
+In summary, RCU expedited grace periods check for idle when building
+the bitmask of CPUs that must be IPIed, just before sending each IPI,
+and (either explicitly or implicitly) within the IPI handler.
+
+<h3><a name="Batching via Sequence Counter">
+Batching via Sequence Counter</a></h3>
+
+<p>
+If each grace-period request was carried out separately, expedited
+grace periods would have abysmal scalability and
+problematic high-load characteristics.
+Because each grace-period operation can serve an unlimited number of
+updates, it is important to <i>batch</i> requests, so that a single
+expedited grace-period operation will cover all requests in the
+corresponding batch.
+
+<p>
+This batching is controlled by a sequence counter named
+<tt>-&gt;expedited_sequence</tt> in the <tt>rcu_state</tt> structure.
+This counter has an odd value when there is an expedited grace period
+in progress and an even value otherwise, so that dividing the counter
+value by two gives the number of completed grace periods.
+During any given update request, the counter must transition from
+even to odd and then back to even, thus indicating that a grace
+period has elapsed.
+Therefore, if the initial value of the counter is <tt>s</tt>,
+the updater must wait until the counter reaches at least the
+value <tt>(s+3)&amp;~0x1</tt>.
+This counter is managed by the following access functions:
+
+<ol>
+<li>	<tt>rcu_exp_gp_seq_start()</tt>, which marks the start of
+	an expedited grace period.
+<li>	<tt>rcu_exp_gp_seq_end()</tt>, which marks the end of an

+Again, only one request in a given batch need actually carry out
+a grace-period operation, which means there must be an efficient
+way to identify which of many concurrent reqeusts will initiate
+the grace period, and that there be an efficient way for the
+remaining requests to wait for that grace period to complete.
+However, that is the topic of the next section.
+
+<h3><a name="Funnel Locking and Wait/Wakeup">
+Funnel Locking and Wait/Wakeup</a></h3>
+
+<p>
+The natural way to sort out which of a batch of updaters will initiate
+the expedited grace period is to use the <tt>rcu_node</tt> combining
+tree, as implemented by the <tt>exp_funnel_lock()</tt> function.
+The first updater corresponding to a given grace period arriving
+at a given <tt>rcu_node</tt> structure records its desired grace-period
+sequence number in the <tt>-&gt;exp_seq_rq</tt> field and moves up
+to the next level in the tree.
+Otherwise, if the <tt>-&gt;exp_seq_rq</tt> field already contains
+the sequence number for the desired grace period or some later one,
+the updater blocks on one of four wait queues in the
+<tt>-&gt;exp_wq[]</tt> array, using the second-from-bottom
+and third-from bottom bits as an index.
+An <tt>-&gt;exp_lock</tt> field in the <tt>rcu_node</tt> structure
+synchronizes access to these fields.
+
+<p>
+An empty <tt>rcu_node</tt> tree is shown in the following diagram,
+with the white cells representing the <tt>-&gt;exp_seq_rq</tt> field
+and the red cells representing the elements of the
+<tt>-&gt;exp_wq[]</tt> array.
+
+<p><img src="Funnel0.svg" alt="Funnel0.svg" width="75%">
+
+<p>
+The next diagram shows the situation after the arrival of Task&nbsp;A
+and Task&nbsp;B at the leftmost and rightmost leaf <tt>rcu_node</tt>
+structures, respectively.
+The current value of the <tt>rcu_state</tt> structure's
+<tt>-&gt;expedited_sequence</tt> field is zero, so adding three and
+clearing the bottom bit results in the value two, which both tasks
+record in the <tt>-&gt;exp_seq_rq</tt> field of their respective
+<tt>rcu_node</tt> structures:
+
+<p><img src="Funnel1.svg" alt="Funnel1.svg" width="75%">
+
+<p>
+Each of Tasks&nbsp;A and&nbsp;B will move up to the root
+<tt>rcu_node</tt> structure.
+Suppose that Task&nbsp;A wins, recording its desired grace-period sequence
+number and resulting in the state shown below:
+
+<p><img src="Funnel2.svg" alt="Funnel2.svg" width="75%">
+
+<p>
+Task&nbsp;A now advances to initiate a new grace period, while Task&nbsp;B
+moves up to the root <tt>rcu_node</tt> structure, and, seeing that
+its desired sequence number is already recorded, blocks on
+<tt>-&gt;exp_wq[1]</tt>.

+<tr><td>&nbsp;</td></tr>
+</table>
+
+<p>
+If Tasks&nbsp;C and&nbsp;D also arrive at this point, they will compute the
+same desired grace-period sequence number, and see that both leaf
+<tt>rcu_node</tt> structures already have that value recorded.
+They will therefore block on their respective <tt>rcu_node</tt>
+structures' <tt>-&gt;exp_wq[1]</tt> fields, as shown below:
+
+<p><img src="Funnel3.svg" alt="Funnel3.svg" width="75%">
+
+<p>
+Task&nbsp;A now acquires the <tt>rcu_state</tt> structure's
+<tt>-&gt;exp_mutex</tt> and initiates the grace period, which
+increments <tt>-&gt;expedited_sequence</tt>.
+Therefore, if Tasks&nbsp;E and&nbsp;F arrive, they will compute
+a desired sequence number of 4 and will record this value as
+shown below:
+
+<p><img src="Funnel4.svg" alt="Funnel4.svg" width="75%">
+
+<p>
+Tasks&nbsp;E and&nbsp;F will propagate up the <tt>rcu_node</tt>
+combining tree, with Task&nbsp;F blocking on the root <tt>rcu_node</tt>
+structure and Task&nbsp;E wait for Task&nbsp;A to finish so that
+it can start the next grace period.
+The resulting state is as shown below:
+
+<p><img src="Funnel5.svg" alt="Funnel5.svg" width="75%">
+
+<p>
+Once the grace period completes, Task&nbsp;A
+starts waking up the tasks waiting for this grace period to complete,
+increments the <tt>-&gt;expedited_sequence</tt>,
+acquires the <tt>-&gt;exp_wake_mutex</tt> and then releases the
+<tt>-&gt;exp_mutex</tt>.
+This results in the following state:
+
+<p><img src="Funnel6.svg" alt="Funnel6.svg" width="75%">
+
+<p>
+Task&nbsp;E can then acquire <tt>-&gt;exp_mutex</tt> and increment
+<tt>-&gt;expedited_sequence</tt> to the value three.
+If new tasks&nbsp;G and&nbsp;H arrive and moves up the combining tree at the
+same time, the state will be as follows:
+
+<p><img src="Funnel7.svg" alt="Funnel7.svg" width="75%">
+
+<p>
+Note that three of the root <tt>rcu_node</tt> structure's
+waitqueues are now occupied.
+However, at some point, Task&nbsp;A will wake up the
+tasks blocked on the <tt>-&gt;exp_wq</tt> waitqueues, resulting
+in the following state:
+
+<p><img src="Funnel8.svg" alt="Funnel8.svg" width="75%">
+
+<p>
+Execution will continue with Tasks&nbsp;E and&nbsp;H completing
+their grace periods and carrying out their wakeups.

+<h3><a name="Use of Workqueues">Use of Workqueues</a></h3>
+
+<p>
+In earlier implementations, the task requesting the expedited
+grace period also drove it to completion.
+This straightforward approach had the disadvantage of needing to
+account for POSIX signals sent to user tasks,
+so more recent implemementations use the Linux kernel's
+<a href="https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/core-api/workqueue.rst">workqueues</a>.
+
+<p>
+The requesting task still does counter snapshotting and funnel-lock
+processing, but the task reaching the top of the funnel lock
+does a <tt>schedule_work()</tt> (from <tt>_synchronize_rcu_expedited()</tt>
+so that a workqueue kthread does the actual grace-period processing.
+Because workqueue kthreads do not accept POSIX signals, grace-period-wait
+processing need not allow for POSIX signals.
+
+In addition, this approach allows wakeups for the previous expedited
+grace period to be overlapped with processing for the next expedited
+grace period.
+Because there are only four sets of waitqueues, it is necessary to
+ensure that the previous grace period's wakeups complete before the
+next grace period's wakeups start.
+This is handled by having the <tt>-&gt;exp_mutex</tt>
+guard expedited grace-period processing and the
+<tt>-&gt;exp_wake_mutex</tt> guard wakeups.
+The key point is that the <tt>-&gt;exp_mutex</tt> is not released
+until the first wakeup is complete, which means that the
+<tt>-&gt;exp_wake_mutex</tt> has already been acquired at that point.
+This approach ensures that the previous grace period's wakeups can
+be carried out while the current grace period is in process, but
+that these wakeups will complete before the next grace period starts.
+This means that only three waitqueues are required, guaranteeing that
+the four that are provided are sufficient.
+
+<h3><a name="Stall Warnings">Stall Warnings</a></h3>
+
+<p>
+Expediting grace periods does nothing to speed things up when RCU
+readers take too long, and therefore expedited grace periods check
+for stalls just as normal grace periods do.
+
+<table>
+<tr><th>&nbsp;</th></tr>
+<tr><th align="left">Quick Quiz:</th></tr>
+<tr><td>
+	But why not just let the normal grace-period machinery
+	detect the stalls, given that a given reader must block
+	both normal and expedited grace periods?
+</td></tr>
+<tr><th align="left">Answer:</th></tr>
+<tr><td bgcolor="#ffffff"><font color="ffffff">
+	Because it is quite possible that at a given time there
+	is no normal grace period in progress, in which case the
+	normal grace period cannot emit a stall warning.
+</font></td></tr>
+<tr><td>&nbsp;</td></tr>
+</table>
+
+The <tt>synchronize_sched_expedited_wait()</tt> function loops waiting
+for the expedited grace period to end, but with a timeout set to the
+current RCU CPU stall-warning time.
+If this time is exceeded, any CPUs or <tt>rcu_node</tt> structures
+blocking the current grace period are printed.
+Each stall warning results in another pass through the loop, but the
+second and subsequent passes use longer stall times.
+
+<h3><a name="Mid-Boot Operation">Mid-boot operation</a></h3>
+
+<p>
+The use of workqueues has the advantage that the expedited
+grace-period code need not worry about POSIX signals.
+Unfortunately, it has the
+corresponding disadvantage that workqueues cannot be used until
+they are initialized, which does not happen until some time after
+the scheduler spawns the first task.
+Given that there are parts of the kernel that really do want to
+execute grace periods during this mid-boot &ldquo;dead zone&rdquo;,
+expedited grace periods must do something else during thie time.
+
+<p>
+What they do is to fall back to the old practice of requiring that the
+requesting task drive the expedited grace period, as was the case
+before the use of workqueues.
+However, the requesting task is only required to drive the grace period
+during the mid-boot dead zone.
+Before mid-boot, a synchronous grace period is a no-op.
+Some time after mid-boot, workqueues are used.
+
+<p>
+Non-expedited non-SRCU synchronous grace periods must also operate
+normally during mid-boot.
+This is handled by causing non-expedited grace periods to take the
+expedited code path during mid-boot.
+
+<p>
+The current code assumes that there are no POSIX signals during
+the mid-boot dead zone.
+However, if an overwhelming need for POSIX signals somehow arises,
+appropriate adjustments can be made to the expedited stall-warning code.
+One such adjustment would reinstate the pre-workqueue stall-warning
+checks, but only during the mid-boot dead zone.
+
+<p>
+With this refinement, synchronous grace periods can now be used from
+task context pretty much any time during the life of the kernel.
+
+<h3><a name="Summary">
+Summary</a></h3>
+
+<p>
+Expedited grace periods use a sequence-number approach to promote
+batching, so that a single grace-period operation can serve numerous
+requests.
+A funnel lock is used to efficiently identify the one task out of
+a concurrent group that will request the grace period.
+All members of the group will block on waitqueues provided in
+the <tt>rcu_node</tt> structure.
+The actual grace-period processing is carried out by a workqueue.
+
+<p>
+CPU-hotplug operations are noted lazily in order to prevent the need
+for tight synchronization between expedited grace periods and
+CPU-hotplug operations.
+The dyntick-idle counters are used to avoid sending IPIs to idle CPUs,
+at least in the common case.
+RCU-preempt and RCU-sched use different IPI handlers and different
+code to respond to the state changes carried out by those handlers,
+but otherwise use common code.
+
+<p>
+Quiescent states are tracked using the <tt>rcu_node</tt> tree,
+and once all necessary quiescent states have been reported,
+all tasks waiting on this expedited grace period are awakened.
+A pair of mutexes are used to allow one grace period's wakeups
+to proceed concurrently with the next grace period's processing.
+
+<p>
+This combination of mechanisms allows expedited grace periods to
+run reasonably efficiently.
+However, for non-time-critical tasks, normal grace periods should be
+used instead because their longer duration permits much higher
+degrees of batching, and thus much lower per-request overheads.

+<h3><a name="What Is Tree RCU's Grace Period Memory Ordering Guarantee?">
+What Is Tree RCU's Grace Period Memory Ordering Guarantee?</a></h3>
+
+<p>RCU grace periods provide extremely strong memory-ordering guarantees
+for non-idle non-offline code.
+Any code that happens after the end of a given RCU grace period is guaranteed
+to see the effects of all accesses prior to the beginning of that grace
+period that are within RCU read-side critical sections.
+Similarly, any code that happens before the beginning of a given RCU grace
+period is guaranteed to see the effects of all accesses following the end
+of that grace period that are within RCU read-side critical sections.
+
+<p>This guarantee is particularly pervasive for <tt>synchronize_sched()</tt>,
+for which RCU-sched read-side critical sections include any region
+of code for which preemption is disabled.
+Given that each individual machine instruction can be thought of as
+an extremely small region of preemption-disabled code, one can think of
+<tt>synchronize_sched()</tt> as <tt>smp_mb()</tt> on steroids.
+
+<p>RCU updaters use this guarantee by splitting their updates into
+two phases, one of which is executed before the grace period and
+the other of which is executed after the grace period.
+In the most common use case, phase one removes an element from
+a linked RCU-protected data structure, and phase two frees that element.
+For this to work, any readers that have witnessed state prior to the
+phase-one update (in the common case, removal) must not witness state
+following the phase-two update (in the common case, freeing).
+
+<p>The RCU implementation provides this guarantee using a network
+of lock-based critical sections, memory barriers, and per-CPU
+processing, as is described in the following sections.
+
+<h3><a name="Tree RCU Grace Period Memory Ordering Building Blocks">
+Tree RCU Grace Period Memory Ordering Building Blocks</a></h3>
+
+<p>The workhorse for RCU's grace-period memory ordering is the
+critical section for the <tt>rcu_node</tt> structure's
+<tt>-&gt;lock</tt>.
+These critical sections use helper functions for lock acquisition, including
+<tt>raw_spin_lock_rcu_node()</tt>,
+<tt>raw_spin_lock_irq_rcu_node()</tt>, and
+<tt>raw_spin_lock_irqsave_rcu_node()</tt>.
+Their lock-release counterparts are
+<tt>raw_spin_unlock_rcu_node()</tt>,
+<tt>raw_spin_unlock_irq_rcu_node()</tt>, and
+<tt>raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore_rcu_node()</tt>,
+respectively.
+For completeness, a
+<tt>raw_spin_trylock_rcu_node()</tt>
+is also provided.
+The key point is that the lock-acquisition functions, including
+<tt>raw_spin_trylock_rcu_node()</tt>, all invoke
+<tt>smp_mb__after_unlock_lock()</tt> immediately after successful
+acquisition of the lock.
+
+<p>Therefore, for any given <tt>rcu_node</tt> struction, any access
+happening before one of the above lock-release functions will be seen
+by all CPUs as happening before any access happening after a later
+one of the above lock-acquisition functions.
+Furthermore, any access happening before one of the
+above lock-release function on any given CPU will be seen by all
+CPUs as happening before any access happening after a later one
+of the above lock-acquisition functions executing on that same CPU,
+even if the lock-release and lock-acquisition functions are operating
+on different <tt>rcu_node</tt> structures.
+Tree RCU uses these two ordering guarantees to form an ordering
+network among all CPUs that were in any way involved in the grace
+period, including any CPUs that came online or went offline during
+the grace period in question.
+
+<p>The following litmus test exhibits the ordering effects of these
+lock-acquisition and lock-release functions:
+
+<pre>
+ 1 int x, y, z;
+ 2
+ 3 void task0(void)
+ 4 {
+ 5   raw_spin_lock_rcu_node(rnp);
+ 6   WRITE_ONCE(x, 1);
+ 7   r1 = READ_ONCE(y);
+ 8   raw_spin_unlock_rcu_node(rnp);
+ 9 }
+10
+11 void task1(void)
+12 {
+13   raw_spin_lock_rcu_node(rnp);
+14   WRITE_ONCE(y, 1);
+15   r2 = READ_ONCE(z);
+16   raw_spin_unlock_rcu_node(rnp);
+17 }
+18
+19 void task2(void)
+20 {
+21   WRITE_ONCE(z, 1);
+22   smp_mb();
+23   r3 = READ_ONCE(x);
+24 }
+25
+26 WARN_ON(r1 == 0 &amp;&amp; r2 == 0 &amp;&amp; r3 == 0);
+</pre>
+
+<p>The <tt>WARN_ON()</tt> is evaluated at &ldquo;the end of time&rdquo;,
+after all changes have propagated throughout the system.
+Without the <tt>smp_mb__after_unlock_lock()</tt> provided by the
+acquisition functions, this <tt>WARN_ON()</tt> could trigger, for example
+on PowerPC.
+The <tt>smp_mb__after_unlock_lock()</tt> invocations prevent this
+<tt>WARN_ON()</tt> from triggering.
+
+<p>This approach must be extended to include idle CPUs, which need
+RCU's grace-period memory ordering guarantee to extend to any
+RCU read-side critical sections preceding and following the current
+idle sojourn.
+This case is handled by calls to the strongly ordered
+<tt>atomic_add_return()</tt> read-modify-write atomic operation that
+is invoked within <tt>rcu_dynticks_eqs_enter()</tt> at idle-entry
+time and within <tt>rcu_dynticks_eqs_exit()</tt> at idle-exit time.
+The grace-period kthread invokes <tt>rcu_dynticks_snap()</tt> and
+<tt>rcu_dynticks_in_eqs_since()</tt> (both of which invoke
+an <tt>atomic_add_return()</tt> of zero) to detect idle CPUs.

+<p>The approach must be extended to handle one final case, that

+This task might be affinitied to a CPU that is not yet aware that
+the grace period has ended, and thus might not yet be subject to

+
+<p>Tree RCU's grace--period memory-ordering guarantees rely most
+heavily on the <tt>rcu_node</tt> structure's <tt>-&gt;lock</tt>
+field, so much so that it is necessary to abbreviate this pattern
+in the diagrams in the next section.
+For example, consider the <tt>rcu_prepare_for_idle()</tt> function
+shown below, which is one of several functions that enforce ordering
+of newly arrived RCU callbacks against future grace periods:
+
+<pre>
+ 1 static void rcu_prepare_for_idle(void)
+ 2 {
+ 3   bool needwake;
+ 4   struct rcu_data *rdp;
+ 5   struct rcu_dynticks *rdtp = this_cpu_ptr(&amp;rcu_dynticks);
+ 6   struct rcu_node *rnp;
+ 7   struct rcu_state *rsp;
+ 8   int tne;
+ 9
+10   if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_ALL) ||
+11       rcu_is_nocb_cpu(smp_processor_id()))
+12     return;
+13   tne = READ_ONCE(tick_nohz_active);
+14   if (tne != rdtp-&gt;tick_nohz_enabled_snap) {
+15     if (rcu_cpu_has_callbacks(NULL))
+16       invoke_rcu_core();
+17     rdtp-&gt;tick_nohz_enabled_snap = tne;
+18     return;
+19   }
+20   if (!tne)
+21     return;
+22   if (rdtp-&gt;all_lazy &amp;&amp;
+23       rdtp-&gt;nonlazy_posted != rdtp-&gt;nonlazy_posted_snap) {
+24     rdtp-&gt;all_lazy = false;
+25     rdtp-&gt;nonlazy_posted_snap = rdtp-&gt;nonlazy_posted;
+26     invoke_rcu_core();
+27     return;
+28   }
+29   if (rdtp-&gt;last_accelerate == jiffies)
+30     return;
+31   rdtp-&gt;last_accelerate = jiffies;
+32   for_each_rcu_flavor(rsp) {
+33     rdp = this_cpu_ptr(rsp-&gt;rda);
+34     if (rcu_segcblist_pend_cbs(&amp;rdp-&gt;cblist))
+35       continue;
+36     rnp = rdp-&gt;mynode;
+37     raw_spin_lock_rcu_node(rnp);
+38     needwake = rcu_accelerate_cbs(rsp, rnp, rdp);
+39     raw_spin_unlock_rcu_node(rnp);
+40     if (needwake)
+41       rcu_gp_kthread_wake(rsp);
+42   }
+43 }
+</pre>
+
+<p>But the only part of <tt>rcu_prepare_for_idle()</tt> that really
+matters for this discussion are lines&nbsp;37&ndash;39.
+We will therefore abbreviate this function as follows:

+
+<p>Each of the following section looks at the corresponding component
+in detail.
+
+<h4><a name="Callback Registry">Callback Registry</a></h4>
+
+<p>If RCU's grace-period guarantee is to mean anything at all, any
+access that happens before a given invocation of <tt>call_rcu()</tt>
+must also happen before the corresponding grace period.
+The implementation of this portion of RCU's grace period guarantee
+is shown in the following figure:
+
+</p><p><img src="TreeRCU-callback-registry.svg" alt="TreeRCU-callback-registry.svg">
+
+<p>Because <tt>call_rcu()</tt> normally acts only on CPU-local state,
+it provides no ordering guarantees, either for itself or for
+phase one of the update (which again will usually be removal of
+an element from an RCU-protected data structure).
+It simply enqueues the <tt>rcu_head</tt> structure on a per-CPU list,
+which cannot become associated with a grace period until a later
+call to <tt>rcu_accelerate_cbs()</tt>, as shown in the diagram above.
+
+<p>One set of code paths shown on the left invokes
+<tt>rcu_accelerate_cbs()</tt> via
+<tt>note_gp_changes()</tt>, either directly from <tt>call_rcu()</tt> (if
+the current CPU is inundated with queued <tt>rcu_head</tt> structures)
+or more likely from an <tt>RCU_SOFTIRQ</tt> handler.
+Another code path in the middle is taken only in kernels built with
+<tt>CONFIG_RCU_FAST_NO_HZ=y</tt>, which invokes
+<tt>rcu_accelerate_cbs()</tt> via <tt>rcu_prepare_for_idle()</tt>.
+The final code path on the right is taken only in kernels built with
+<tt>CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=y</tt>, which invokes
+<tt>rcu_accelerate_cbs()</tt> via
+<tt>rcu_advance_cbs()</tt>, <tt>rcu_migrate_callbacks</tt>,
+<tt>rcutree_migrate_callbacks()</tt>, and <tt>takedown_cpu()</tt>,
+which in turn is invoked on a surviving CPU after the outgoing
+CPU has been completely offlined.
+
+<p>There are a few other code paths within grace-period processing
+that opportunistically invoke <tt>rcu_accelerate_cbs()</tt>.
+However, either way, all of the CPU's recently queued <tt>rcu_head</tt>
+structures are associated with a future grace-period number under
+the protection of the CPU's lead <tt>rcu_node</tt> structure's
+<tt>-&gt;lock</tt>.
+In all cases, there is full ordering against any prior critical section
+for that same <tt>rcu_node</tt> structure's <tt>-&gt;lock</tt>, and
+also full ordering against any of the current task's or CPU's prior critical
+sections for any <tt>rcu_node</tt> structure's <tt>-&gt;lock</tt>.
+
+<p>The next section will show how this ordering ensures that any
+accesses prior to the <tt>call_rcu()</tt> (particularly including phase
+one of the update)
+happen before the start of the corresponding grace period.

+<h4><a name="Grace-Period Initialization">Grace-Period Initialization</a></h4>
+
+<p>Grace-period initialization is carried out by
+the grace-period kernel thread, which makes several passes over the
+<tt>rcu_node</tt> tree within the <tt>rcu_gp_init()</tt> function.
+This means that showing the full flow of ordering through the
+grace-period computation will require duplicating this tree.
+If you find this confusing, please note that the state of the
+<tt>rcu_node</tt> changes over time, just like Heraclitus's river.
+However, to keep the <tt>rcu_node</tt> river tractable, the
+grace-period kernel thread's traversals are presented in multiple
+parts, starting in this section with the various phases of
+grace-period initialization.
+
+<p>The first ordering-related grace-period initialization action is to
+advance the <tt>rcu_state</tt> structure's <tt>-&gt;gp_seq</tt>
+grace-period-number counter, as shown below:
+
+</p><p><img src="TreeRCU-gp-init-1.svg" alt="TreeRCU-gp-init-1.svg" width="75%">
+
+<p>The actual increment is carried out using <tt>smp_store_release()</tt>,
+which helps reject false-positive RCU CPU stall detection.
+Note that only the root <tt>rcu_node</tt> structure is touched.
+
+<p>The first pass through the <tt>rcu_node</tt> tree updates bitmasks
+based on CPUs having come online or gone offline since the start of
+the previous grace period.
+In the common case where the number of online CPUs for this <tt>rcu_node</tt>
+structure has not transitioned to or from zero,
+this pass will scan only the leaf <tt>rcu_node</tt> structures.
+However, if the number of online CPUs for a given leaf <tt>rcu_node</tt>
+structure has transitioned from zero,
+<tt>rcu_init_new_rnp()</tt> will be invoked for the first incoming CPU.
+Similarly, if the number of online CPUs for a given leaf <tt>rcu_node</tt>
+structure has transitioned to zero,
+<tt>rcu_cleanup_dead_rnp()</tt> will be invoked for the last outgoing CPU.
+The diagram below shows the path of ordering if the leftmost
+<tt>rcu_node</tt> structure onlines its first CPU and if the next
+<tt>rcu_node</tt> structure has no online CPUs
+(or, alternatively if the leftmost <tt>rcu_node</tt> structure offlines
+its last CPU and if the next <tt>rcu_node</tt> structure has no online CPUs).
+
+</p><p><img src="TreeRCU-gp-init-2.svg" alt="TreeRCU-gp-init-1.svg" width="75%">
+

+
+<p>This is for the last CPU to report a quiescent state, which signals

+Earlier quiescent states would push up the <tt>rcu_node</tt> tree
+only until they encountered an <tt>rcu_node</tt> structure that

+However, ordering is nevertheless preserved because some later quiescent

+<p>If the CPU does a context switch, a quiescent state will be

+If <tt>rcu_report_qs_rdp()</tt> verifies that the quiescent state

+each <tt>rcu_node</tt> structure's <tt>-&gt;qsmask</tt> field,

+A key point is that if a CPU's traversal stops at a given <tt>rcu_node</tt>

+(or perhaps the same one) that proceeds upwards
+from that point, and the <tt>rcu_node</tt> <tt>-&gt;lock</tt>
+guarantees that the first CPU's quiescent state happens before the

+Applying this line of thought repeatedly shows that all CPUs'
+quiescent states happen before the last CPU traverses through
+the root <tt>rcu_node</tt> structure, the &ldquo;last CPU&rdquo;

+<p>Due to energy-efficiency considerations, RCU is forbidden from

+CPUs are therefore required to notify RCU when entering or leaving idle
+state, which they do via fully ordered value-returning atomic operations
+on a per-CPU variable.
+The ordering effects are as shown below:

+This means that any RCU read-side critical sections that precede the
+idle period (the oval near the top of the diagram above) will happen
+before the end of the current grace period.
+Similarly, the beginning of the current grace period will happen before
+any RCU read-side critical sections that follow the

+<h4><a name="CPU-Hotplug Interface">CPU-Hotplug Interface</a></h4>
+
+<p>RCU is also forbidden from disturbing offline CPUs, which might well

+CPUs are therefore required to notify RCU of their comings and goings
+as part of the corresponding CPU hotplug operations.
+The ordering effects are shown below:
+
+</p><p><img src="TreeRCU-hotplug.svg" alt="TreeRCU-hotplug.svg" width="50%">
+
+<p>Because CPU hotplug operations are much less frequent than idle transitions,
+they are heavier weight, and thus acquire the CPU's leaf <tt>rcu_node</tt>
+structure's <tt>-&gt;lock</tt> and update this structure's
+<tt>-&gt;qsmaskinitnext</tt>.
+The RCU grace-period kernel thread samples this mask to detect CPUs
+having gone offline since the beginning of this grace period.

+<p>Plumbing this into the full grace-period execution is described
+<a href="#Forcing Quiescent States">below</a>.
+
+<h4><a name="Forcing Quiescent States">Forcing Quiescent States</a></h4>
+
+<p>As noted above, idle and offline CPUs cannot report their own
+quiescent states, and therefore the grace-period kernel thread
+must do the reporting on their behalf.
+This process is called &ldquo;forcing quiescent states&rdquo;, it is
+repeated every few jiffies, and its ordering effects are shown below:

+leaf <tt>rcu_node</tt> structures, and if there are no new quiescent
+states due to recently idled and/or offlined CPUs, then only the
+leaves are traversed.
+However, if there is a newly offlined CPU as illustrated on the left
+or a newly idled CPU as illustrated on the right, the corresponding
+quiescent state will be driven up towards the root.
+As with self-reported quiescent states, the upwards driving stops

+<h4><a name="Callback Invocation">Callback Invocation</a></h4>
+
+<p>Once a given CPU's leaf <tt>rcu_node</tt> structure's
+<tt>-&gt;gp_seq</tt> field has been updated, that CPU can begin
+invoking its RCU callbacks that were waiting for this grace period
+to end.
+These callbacks are identified by <tt>rcu_advance_cbs()</tt>,
+which is usually invoked by <tt>__note_gp_changes()</tt>.
+As shown in the diagram below, this invocation can be triggered by
+the scheduling-clock interrupt (<tt>rcu_check_callbacks()</tt> on
+the left) or by idle entry (<tt>rcu_cleanup_after_idle()</tt> on
+the right, but only for kernels build with
+<tt>CONFIG_RCU_FAST_NO_HZ=y</tt>).
+Either way, <tt>RCU_SOFTIRQ</tt> is raised, which results in
+<tt>rcu_do_batch()</tt> invoking the callbacks, which in turn
+allows those callbacks to carry out (either directly or indirectly
+via wakeup) the needed phase-two processing for each update.
+
+</p><p><img src="TreeRCU-callback-invocation.svg" alt="TreeRCU-callback-invocation.svg" width="60%">
+
+<p>Please note that callback invocation can also be prompted by any
+number of corner-case code paths, for example, when a CPU notes that
+it has excessive numbers of callbacks queued.
+In all cases, the CPU acquires its leaf <tt>rcu_node</tt> structure's
+<tt>-&gt;lock</tt> before invoking callbacks, which preserves the
+required ordering against the newly completed grace period.
+
+<p>However, if the callback function communicates to other CPUs,
+for example, doing a wakeup, then it is that function's responsibility
+to maintain ordering.
+For example, if the callback function wakes up a task that runs on
+some other CPU, proper ordering must in place in both the callback
+function and the task being awakened.
+To see why this is important, consider the top half of the
+<a href="#Grace-Period Cleanup">grace-period cleanup</a> diagram.
+The callback might be running on a CPU corresponding to the leftmost
+leaf <tt>rcu_node</tt> structure, and awaken a task that is to run on
+a CPU corresponding to the rightmost leaf <tt>rcu_node</tt> structure,
+and the grace-period kernel thread might not yet have reached the
+rightmost leaf.
+In this case, the grace period's memory ordering might not yet have
+reached that CPU, so again the callback function and the awakened
+task must supply proper ordering.

+<h2>Introduction</h2>
+
+<p>
+Read-copy update (RCU) is a synchronization mechanism that is often
+used as a replacement for reader-writer locking.
+RCU is unusual in that updaters do not block readers,
+which means that RCU's read-side primitives can be exceedingly fast
+and scalable.
+In addition, updaters can make useful forward progress concurrently
+with readers.
+However, all this concurrency between RCU readers and updaters does raise
+the question of exactly what RCU readers are doing, which in turn
+raises the question of exactly what RCU's requirements are.
+
+<p>
+This document therefore summarizes RCU's requirements, and can be thought
+of as an informal, high-level specification for RCU.
+It is important to understand that RCU's specification is primarily
+empirical in nature;
+in fact, I learned about many of these requirements the hard way.
+This situation might cause some consternation, however, not only
+has this learning process been a lot of fun, but it has also been
+a great privilege to work with so many people willing to apply
+technologies in interesting new ways.
+
+<p>
+All that aside, here are the categories of currently known RCU requirements:

+<h3><a name="Grace-Period Guarantee">Grace-Period Guarantee</a></h3>
+
+<p>
+RCU's grace-period guarantee is unusual in being premeditated:
+Jack Slingwine and I had this guarantee firmly in mind when we started
+work on RCU (then called &ldquo;rclock&rdquo;) in the early 1990s.
+That said, the past two decades of experience with RCU have produced
+a much more detailed understanding of this guarantee.
+
+<p>
+RCU's grace-period guarantee allows updaters to wait for the completion
+of all pre-existing RCU read-side critical sections.
+An RCU read-side critical section
+begins with the marker <tt>rcu_read_lock()</tt> and ends with
+the marker <tt>rcu_read_unlock()</tt>.
+These markers may be nested, and RCU treats a nested set as one
+big RCU read-side critical section.
+Production-quality implementations of <tt>rcu_read_lock()</tt> and
+<tt>rcu_read_unlock()</tt> are extremely lightweight, and in
+fact have exactly zero overhead in Linux kernels built for production
+use with <tt>CONFIG_PREEMPT=n</tt>.
+
+<p>
+This guarantee allows ordering to be enforced with extremely low
+overhead to readers, for example:
+
+<blockquote>
+<pre>
+ 1 int x, y;
+ 2
+ 3 void thread0(void)
+ 4 {
+ 5   rcu_read_lock();
+ 6   r1 = READ_ONCE(x);
+ 7   r2 = READ_ONCE(y);
+ 8   rcu_read_unlock();
+ 9 }
+10
+11 void thread1(void)
+12 {
+13   WRITE_ONCE(x, 1);
+14   synchronize_rcu();
+15   WRITE_ONCE(y, 1);
+16 }
+</pre>
+</blockquote>
+
+<p>
+Because the <tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt> on line&nbsp;14 waits for
+all pre-existing readers, any instance of <tt>thread0()</tt> that
+loads a value of zero from <tt>x</tt> must complete before
+<tt>thread1()</tt> stores to <tt>y</tt>, so that instance must
+also load a value of zero from <tt>y</tt>.
+Similarly, any instance of <tt>thread0()</tt> that loads a value of
+one from <tt>y</tt> must have started after the
+<tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt> started, and must therefore also load
+a value of one from <tt>x</tt>.
+Therefore, the outcome:
+<blockquote>
+<pre>
+(r1 == 0 &amp;&amp; r2 == 1)
+</pre>
+</blockquote>
+cannot happen.

+The RCU read-side critical section in <tt>do_something_dlm()</tt>

+
+<p>
+In order to avoid fatal problems such as deadlocks,
+an RCU read-side critical section must not contain calls to
+<tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt>.
+Similarly, an RCU read-side critical section must not
+contain anything that waits, directly or indirectly, on completion of
+an invocation of <tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt>.
+
+<p>
+Although RCU's grace-period guarantee is useful in and of itself, with
+<a href="https://lwn.net/Articles/573497/">quite a few use cases</a>,
+it would be good to be able to use RCU to coordinate read-side
+access to linked data structures.
+For this, the grace-period guarantee is not sufficient, as can
+be seen in function <tt>add_gp_buggy()</tt> below.
+We will look at the reader's code later, but in the meantime, just think of
+the reader as locklessly picking up the <tt>gp</tt> pointer,
+and, if the value loaded is non-<tt>NULL</tt>, locklessly accessing the
+<tt>-&gt;a</tt> and <tt>-&gt;b</tt> fields.
+
+<blockquote>
+<pre>
+ 1 bool add_gp_buggy(int a, int b)
+ 2 {
+ 3   p = kmalloc(sizeof(*p), GFP_KERNEL);
+ 4   if (!p)
+ 5     return -ENOMEM;
+ 6   spin_lock(&amp;gp_lock);
+ 7   if (rcu_access_pointer(gp)) {
+ 8     spin_unlock(&amp;gp_lock);
+ 9     return false;
+10   }
+11   p-&gt;a = a;
+12   p-&gt;b = a;
+13   gp = p; /* ORDERING BUG */
+14   spin_unlock(&amp;gp_lock);
+15   return true;
+16 }
+</pre>
+</blockquote>
+
+<p>
+The problem is that both the compiler and weakly ordered CPUs are within
+their rights to reorder this code as follows:
+
+<blockquote>
+<pre>
+ 1 bool add_gp_buggy_optimized(int a, int b)
+ 2 {
+ 3   p = kmalloc(sizeof(*p), GFP_KERNEL);
+ 4   if (!p)
+ 5     return -ENOMEM;
+ 6   spin_lock(&amp;gp_lock);
+ 7   if (rcu_access_pointer(gp)) {
+ 8     spin_unlock(&amp;gp_lock);
+ 9     return false;
+10   }
+<b>11   gp = p; /* ORDERING BUG */
+12   p-&gt;a = a;
+13   p-&gt;b = a;</b>
+14   spin_unlock(&amp;gp_lock);
+15   return true;
+16 }
+</pre>
+</blockquote>
+
+<p>
+If an RCU reader fetches <tt>gp</tt> just after
+<tt>add_gp_buggy_optimized</tt> executes line&nbsp;11,
+it will see garbage in the <tt>-&gt;a</tt> and <tt>-&gt;b</tt>
+fields.
+And this is but one of many ways in which compiler and hardware optimizations
+could cause trouble.
+Therefore, we clearly need some way to prevent the compiler and the CPU from
+reordering in this manner, which brings us to the publish-subscribe
+guarantee discussed in the next section.
+
+<h3><a name="Publish-Subscribe Guarantee">Publish/Subscribe Guarantee</a></h3>
+
+<p>
+RCU's publish-subscribe guarantee allows data to be inserted
+into a linked data structure without disrupting RCU readers.
+The updater uses <tt>rcu_assign_pointer()</tt> to insert the
+new data, and readers use <tt>rcu_dereference()</tt> to
+access data, whether new or old.
+The following shows an example of insertion:
+
+<blockquote>
+<pre>
+ 1 bool add_gp(int a, int b)
+ 2 {
+ 3   p = kmalloc(sizeof(*p), GFP_KERNEL);
+ 4   if (!p)
+ 5     return -ENOMEM;
+ 6   spin_lock(&amp;gp_lock);
+ 7   if (rcu_access_pointer(gp)) {
+ 8     spin_unlock(&amp;gp_lock);
+ 9     return false;
+10   }
+11   p-&gt;a = a;
+12   p-&gt;b = a;
+13   rcu_assign_pointer(gp, p);
+14   spin_unlock(&amp;gp_lock);
+15   return true;
+16 }
+</pre>
+</blockquote>
+
+<p>
+The <tt>rcu_assign_pointer()</tt> on line&nbsp;13 is conceptually
+equivalent to a simple assignment statement, but also guarantees
+that its assignment will
+happen after the two assignments in lines&nbsp;11 and&nbsp;12,
+similar to the C11 <tt>memory_order_release</tt> store operation.
+It also prevents any number of &ldquo;interesting&rdquo; compiler
+optimizations, for example, the use of <tt>gp</tt> as a scratch
+location immediately preceding the assignment.
+

+
+<p>
+It is tempting to assume that the reader need not do anything special
+to control its accesses to the RCU-protected data,
+as shown in <tt>do_something_gp_buggy()</tt> below:
+
+<blockquote>
+<pre>
+ 1 bool do_something_gp_buggy(void)
+ 2 {
+ 3   rcu_read_lock();
+ 4   p = gp;  /* OPTIMIZATIONS GALORE!!! */
+ 5   if (p) {
+ 6     do_something(p-&gt;a, p-&gt;b);
+ 7     rcu_read_unlock();
+ 8     return true;
+ 9   }
+10   rcu_read_unlock();
+11   return false;
+12 }
+</pre>
+</blockquote>
+
+<p>
+However, this temptation must be resisted because there are a
+surprisingly large number of ways that the compiler
+(to say nothing of
+<a href="https://h71000.www7.hp.com/wizard/wiz_2637.html">DEC Alpha CPUs</a>)
+can trip this code up.
+For but one example, if the compiler were short of registers, it
+might choose to refetch from <tt>gp</tt> rather than keeping
+a separate copy in <tt>p</tt> as follows:
+
+<blockquote>
+<pre>
+ 1 bool do_something_gp_buggy_optimized(void)
+ 2 {
+ 3   rcu_read_lock();
+ 4   if (gp) { /* OPTIMIZATIONS GALORE!!! */
+<b> 5     do_something(gp-&gt;a, gp-&gt;b);</b>
+ 6     rcu_read_unlock();
+ 7     return true;
+ 8   }
+ 9   rcu_read_unlock();
+10   return false;
+11 }
+</pre>
+</blockquote>
+
+<p>
+If this function ran concurrently with a series of updates that
+replaced the current structure with a new one,
+the fetches of <tt>gp-&gt;a</tt>
+and <tt>gp-&gt;b</tt> might well come from two different structures,
+which could cause serious confusion.
+To prevent this (and much else besides), <tt>do_something_gp()</tt> uses
+<tt>rcu_dereference()</tt> to fetch from <tt>gp</tt>:
+
+<blockquote>
+<pre>
+ 1 bool do_something_gp(void)
+ 2 {
+ 3   rcu_read_lock();
+ 4   p = rcu_dereference(gp);
+ 5   if (p) {
+ 6     do_something(p-&gt;a, p-&gt;b);
+ 7     rcu_read_unlock();
+ 8     return true;
+ 9   }
+10   rcu_read_unlock();
+11   return false;
+12 }
+</pre>
+</blockquote>
+
+<p>
+The <tt>rcu_dereference()</tt> uses volatile casts and (for DEC Alpha)
+memory barriers in the Linux kernel.
+Should a
+<a href="http://www.rdrop.com/users/paulmck/RCU/consume.2015.07.13a.pdf">high-quality implementation of C11 <tt>memory_order_consume</tt> [PDF]</a>
+ever appear, then <tt>rcu_dereference()</tt> could be implemented
+as a <tt>memory_order_consume</tt> load.
+Regardless of the exact implementation, a pointer fetched by
+<tt>rcu_dereference()</tt> may not be used outside of the
+outermost RCU read-side critical section containing that
+<tt>rcu_dereference()</tt>, unless protection of
+the corresponding data element has been passed from RCU to some
+other synchronization mechanism, most commonly locking or
+<a href="https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/RCU/rcuref.txt">reference counting</a>.
+
+<p>
+In short, updaters use <tt>rcu_assign_pointer()</tt> and readers
+use <tt>rcu_dereference()</tt>, and these two RCU API elements
+work together to ensure that readers have a consistent view of
+newly added data elements.
+
+<p>
+Of course, it is also necessary to remove elements from RCU-protected
+data structures, for example, using the following process:
+
+<ol>
+<li>	Remove the data element from the enclosing structure.
+<li>	Wait for all pre-existing RCU read-side critical sections
+	to complete (because only pre-existing readers can possibly have
+	a reference to the newly removed data element).
+<li>	At this point, only the updater has a reference to the
+	newly removed data element, so it can safely reclaim
+	the data element, for example, by passing it to <tt>kfree()</tt>.
+</ol>
+
+This process is implemented by <tt>remove_gp_synchronous()</tt>:
+
+<blockquote>
+<pre>
+ 1 bool remove_gp_synchronous(void)
+ 2 {
+ 3   struct foo *p;
+ 4
+ 5   spin_lock(&amp;gp_lock);
+ 6   p = rcu_access_pointer(gp);
+ 7   if (!p) {
+ 8     spin_unlock(&amp;gp_lock);
+ 9     return false;
+10   }
+11   rcu_assign_pointer(gp, NULL);
+12   spin_unlock(&amp;gp_lock);
+13   synchronize_rcu();
+14   kfree(p);
+15   return true;
+16 }
+</pre>
+</blockquote>
+
+<p>
+This function is straightforward, with line&nbsp;13 waiting for a grace
+period before line&nbsp;14 frees the old data element.
+This waiting ensures that readers will reach line&nbsp;7 of
+<tt>do_something_gp()</tt> before the data element referenced by
+<tt>p</tt> is freed.
+The <tt>rcu_access_pointer()</tt> on line&nbsp;6 is similar to
+<tt>rcu_dereference()</tt>, except that:
+
+<ol>
+<li>	The value returned by <tt>rcu_access_pointer()</tt>
+	cannot be dereferenced.
+	If you want to access the value pointed to as well as
+	the pointer itself, use <tt>rcu_dereference()</tt>
+	instead of <tt>rcu_access_pointer()</tt>.
+<li>	The call to <tt>rcu_access_pointer()</tt> need not be
+	protected.
+	In contrast, <tt>rcu_dereference()</tt> must either be
+	within an RCU read-side critical section or in a code
+	segment where the pointer cannot change, for example, in
+	code protected by the corresponding update-side lock.

+In short, RCU's publish-subscribe guarantee is provided by the combination
+of <tt>rcu_assign_pointer()</tt> and <tt>rcu_dereference()</tt>.
+This guarantee allows data elements to be safely added to RCU-protected
+linked data structures without disrupting RCU readers.
+This guarantee can be used in combination with the grace-period
+guarantee to also allow data elements to be removed from RCU-protected
+linked data structures, again without disrupting RCU readers.
+
+<p>
+This guarantee was only partially premeditated.
+DYNIX/ptx used an explicit memory barrier for publication, but had nothing
+resembling <tt>rcu_dereference()</tt> for subscription, nor did it
+have anything resembling the <tt>smp_read_barrier_depends()</tt>
+that was later subsumed into <tt>rcu_dereference()</tt> and later
+still into <tt>READ_ONCE()</tt>.
+The need for these operations made itself known quite suddenly at a
+late-1990s meeting with the DEC Alpha architects, back in the days when
+DEC was still a free-standing company.
+It took the Alpha architects a good hour to convince me that any sort
+of barrier would ever be needed, and it then took me a good <i>two</i> hours
+to convince them that their documentation did not make this point clear.
+More recent work with the C and C++ standards committees have provided
+much education on tricks and traps from the compiler.
+In short, compilers were much less tricky in the early 1990s, but in
+2015, don't even think about omitting <tt>rcu_dereference()</tt>!
+
+<h3><a name="Memory-Barrier Guarantees">Memory-Barrier Guarantees</a></h3>
+
+<p>
+The previous section's simple linked-data-structure scenario clearly
+demonstrates the need for RCU's stringent memory-ordering guarantees on
+systems with more than one CPU:
+
+<ol>
+<li>	Each CPU that has an RCU read-side critical section that
+	begins before <tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt> starts is
+	guaranteed to execute a full memory barrier between the time
+	that the RCU read-side critical section ends and the time that
+	<tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt> returns.
+	Without this guarantee, a pre-existing RCU read-side critical section
+	might hold a reference to the newly removed <tt>struct foo</tt>
+	after the <tt>kfree()</tt> on line&nbsp;14 of
+	<tt>remove_gp_synchronous()</tt>.
+<li>	Each CPU that has an RCU read-side critical section that ends
+	after <tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt> returns is guaranteed
+	to execute a full memory barrier between the time that
+	<tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt> begins and the time that the RCU
+	read-side critical section begins.
+	Without this guarantee, a later RCU read-side critical section
+	running after the <tt>kfree()</tt> on line&nbsp;14 of
+	<tt>remove_gp_synchronous()</tt> might
+	later run <tt>do_something_gp()</tt> and find the
+	newly deleted <tt>struct foo</tt>.
+<li>	If the task invoking <tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt> remains
+	on a given CPU, then that CPU is guaranteed to execute a full
+	memory barrier sometime during the execution of
+	<tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt>.
+	This guarantee ensures that the <tt>kfree()</tt> on
+	line&nbsp;14 of <tt>remove_gp_synchronous()</tt> really does
+	execute after the removal on line&nbsp;11.
+<li>	If the task invoking <tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt> migrates
+	among a group of CPUs during that invocation, then each of the
+	CPUs in that group is guaranteed to execute a full memory barrier
+	sometime during the execution of <tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt>.
+	This guarantee also ensures that the <tt>kfree()</tt> on

+	The answer is that it is not the relationship of
+	<tt>rcu_read_lock()</tt> itself that is important, but rather
+	the relationship of the code within the enclosed RCU read-side
+	critical section to the code preceding and following the
+	grace period.
+	If we take this viewpoint, then a given RCU read-side critical
+	section begins before a given grace period when some access
+	preceding the grace period observes the effect of some access
+	within the critical section, in which case none of the accesses

+<h3><a name="RCU Primitives Guaranteed to Execute Unconditionally">RCU Primitives Guaranteed to Execute Unconditionally</a></h3>
+
+<p>
+The common-case RCU primitives are unconditional.
+They are invoked, they do their job, and they return, with no possibility
+of error, and no need to retry.
+This is a key RCU design philosophy.
+
+<p>
+However, this philosophy is pragmatic rather than pigheaded.
+If someone comes up with a good justification for a particular conditional
+RCU primitive, it might well be implemented and added.
+After all, this guarantee was reverse-engineered, not premeditated.
+The unconditional nature of the RCU primitives was initially an
+accident of implementation, and later experience with synchronization
+primitives with conditional primitives caused me to elevate this
+accident to a guarantee.
+Therefore, the justification for adding a conditional primitive to
+RCU would need to be based on detailed and compelling use cases.
+
+<h3><a name="Guaranteed Read-to-Write Upgrade">Guaranteed Read-to-Write Upgrade</a></h3>
+
+<p>
+As far as RCU is concerned, it is always possible to carry out an
+update within an RCU read-side critical section.
+For example, that RCU read-side critical section might search for
+a given data element, and then might acquire the update-side
+spinlock in order to update that element, all while remaining
+in that RCU read-side critical section.
+Of course, it is necessary to exit the RCU read-side critical section
+before invoking <tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt>, however, this
+inconvenience can be avoided through use of the
+<tt>call_rcu()</tt> and <tt>kfree_rcu()</tt> API members

+Reader-side markers such as <tt>rcu_read_lock()</tt> and
+<tt>rcu_read_unlock()</tt> provide absolutely no ordering guarantees
+except through their interaction with the grace-period APIs such as
+<tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt>.
+To see this, consider the following pair of threads:
+
+<blockquote>
+<pre>
+ 1 void thread0(void)
+ 2 {
+ 3   rcu_read_lock();
+ 4   WRITE_ONCE(x, 1);

+It is tempting to assume that if any part of one RCU read-side critical

+read-side critical section follows that same grace period, then all of
+the first RCU read-side critical section must precede all of the second.
+However, this just isn't the case: A single grace period does not
+partition the set of RCU read-side critical sections.
+An example of this situation can be illustrated as follows, where
+<tt>x</tt>, <tt>y</tt>, and <tt>z</tt> are initially all zero:
+
+<blockquote>
+<pre>
+ 1 void thread0(void)
+ 2 {

+It turns out that the outcome:
+
+<blockquote>
+<pre>
+(r1 == 1 &amp;&amp; r2 == 0 &amp;&amp; r3 == 1)
+</pre>
+</blockquote>
+
+is entirely possible.
+The following figure show how this can happen, with each circled
+<tt>QS</tt> indicating the point at which RCU recorded a
+<i>quiescent state</i> for each thread, that is, a state in which
+RCU knows that the thread cannot be in the midst of an RCU read-side
+critical section that started before the current grace period:
+
+<p><img src="GPpartitionReaders1.svg" alt="GPpartitionReaders1.svg" width="60%"></p>
+
+<p>
+If it is necessary to partition RCU read-side critical sections in this
+manner, it is necessary to use two grace periods, where the first
+grace period is known to end before the second grace period starts:
+
+<blockquote>

+27   r4 = READ_ONCE(d);
+28   rcu_read_unlock();
+29 }
+</pre>
+</blockquote>
+
+<p>
+Here, if <tt>(r1 == 1)</tt>, then
+<tt>thread0()</tt>'s write to <tt>b</tt> must happen
+before the end of <tt>thread1()</tt>'s grace period.
+If in addition <tt>(r4 == 1)</tt>, then
+<tt>thread3()</tt>'s read from <tt>b</tt> must happen
+after the beginning of <tt>thread2()</tt>'s grace period.
+If it is also the case that <tt>(r2 == 1)</tt>, then the
+end of <tt>thread1()</tt>'s grace period must precede the
+beginning of <tt>thread2()</tt>'s grace period.
+This mean that the two RCU read-side critical sections cannot overlap,
+guaranteeing that <tt>(r3 == 1)</tt>.
+As a result, the outcome:

+Again, an RCU read-side critical section can overlap almost all of a

+Disabling Preemption Does Not Block Grace Periods</a></h3>
+
+<p>
+There was a time when disabling preemption on any given CPU would block
+subsequent grace periods.
+However, this was an accident of implementation and is not a requirement.
+And in the current Linux-kernel implementation, disabling preemption
+on a given CPU in fact does not block grace periods, as Oleg Nesterov
+<a href="https://lkml.kernel.org/g/20150614193825.GA19582@redhat.com">demonstrated</a>.
+
+<p>
+If you need a preempt-disable region to block grace periods, you need to add
+<tt>rcu_read_lock()</tt> and <tt>rcu_read_unlock()</tt>, for example
+as follows:
+
+<blockquote>
+<pre>
+ 1 preempt_disable();
+ 2 rcu_read_lock();
+ 3 do_something();
+ 4 rcu_read_unlock();
+ 5 preempt_enable();
+ 6
+ 7 /* Spinlocks implicitly disable preemption. */
+ 8 spin_lock(&amp;mylock);
+ 9 rcu_read_lock();
+10 do_something();
+11 rcu_read_unlock();
+12 spin_unlock(&amp;mylock);
+</pre>
+</blockquote>
+
+<p>
+In theory, you could enter the RCU read-side critical section first,
+but it is more efficient to keep the entire RCU read-side critical
+section contained in the preempt-disable region as shown above.
+Of course, RCU read-side critical sections that extend outside of
+preempt-disable regions will work correctly, but such critical sections
+can be preempted, which forces <tt>rcu_read_unlock()</tt> to do
+more work.
+And no, this is <i>not</i> an invitation to enclose all of your RCU
+read-side critical sections within preempt-disable regions, because
+doing so would degrade real-time response.
+

+This non-requirement appeared with preemptible RCU.

+<h2><a name="Parallelism Facts of Life">Parallelism Facts of Life</a></h2>
+
+<p>
+These parallelism facts of life are by no means specific to RCU, but
+the RCU implementation must abide by them.
+They therefore bear repeating:
+
+<ol>
+<li>	Any CPU or task may be delayed at any time,
+	and any attempts to avoid these delays by disabling
+	preemption, interrupts, or whatever are completely futile.
+	This is most obvious in preemptible user-level
+	environments and in virtualized environments (where
+	a given guest OS's VCPUs can be preempted at any time by
+	the underlying hypervisor), but can also happen in bare-metal
+	environments due to ECC errors, NMIs, and other hardware
+	events.
+	Although a delay of more than about 20 seconds can result
+	in splats, the RCU implementation is obligated to use
+	algorithms that can tolerate extremely long delays, but where
+	&ldquo;extremely long&rdquo; is not long enough to allow
+	wrap-around when incrementing a 64-bit counter.
+<li>	Both the compiler and the CPU can reorder memory accesses.
+	Where it matters, RCU must use compiler directives and
+	memory-barrier instructions to preserve ordering.
+<li>	Conflicting writes to memory locations in any given cache line
+	will result in expensive cache misses.
+	Greater numbers of concurrent writes and more-frequent
+	concurrent writes will result in more dramatic slowdowns.
+	RCU is therefore obligated to use algorithms that have
+	sufficient locality to avoid significant performance and
+	scalability problems.
+<li>	As a rough rule of thumb, only one CPU's worth of processing
+	may be carried out under the protection of any given exclusive
+	lock.
+	RCU must therefore use scalable locking designs.
+<li>	Counters are finite, especially on 32-bit systems.
+	RCU's use of counters must therefore tolerate counter wrap,
+	or be designed such that counter wrap would take way more
+	time than a single system is likely to run.
+	An uptime of ten years is quite possible, a runtime
+	of a century much less so.
+	As an example of the latter, RCU's dyntick-idle nesting counter
+	allows 54 bits for interrupt nesting level (this counter
+	is 64 bits even on a 32-bit system).
+	Overflowing this counter requires 2<sup>54</sup>
+	half-interrupts on a given CPU without that CPU ever going idle.
+	If a half-interrupt happened every microsecond, it would take
+	570 years of runtime to overflow this counter, which is currently
+	believed to be an acceptably long time.
+<li>	Linux systems can have thousands of CPUs running a single
+	Linux kernel in a single shared-memory environment.
+	RCU must therefore pay close attention to high-end scalability.
+</ol>
+
+<p>
+This last parallelism fact of life means that RCU must pay special
+attention to the preceding facts of life.
+The idea that Linux might scale to systems with thousands of CPUs would
+have been met with some skepticism in the 1990s, but these requirements
+would have otherwise have been unsurprising, even in the early 1990s.

+
+<p>
+These sections list quality-of-implementation requirements.
+Although an RCU implementation that ignores these requirements could

+
+<p>
+RCU is and always has been intended primarily for read-mostly situations,
+which means that RCU's read-side primitives are optimized, often at the
+expense of its update-side primitives.
+Experience thus far is captured by the following list of situations:
+
+<ol>
+<li>	Read-mostly data, where stale and inconsistent data is not
+	a problem:   RCU works great!
+<li>	Read-mostly data, where data must be consistent:
+	RCU works well.
+<li>	Read-write data, where data must be consistent:
+	RCU <i>might</i> work OK.
+	Or not.
+<li>	Write-mostly data, where data must be consistent:
+	RCU is very unlikely to be the right tool for the job,
+	with the following exceptions, where RCU can provide:
+	<ol type=a>
+	<li>	Existence guarantees for update-friendly mechanisms.
+	<li>	Wait-free read-side primitives for real-time use.
+	</ol>
+</ol>
+
+<p>
+This focus on read-mostly situations means that RCU must interoperate
+with other synchronization primitives.
+For example, the <tt>add_gp()</tt> and <tt>remove_gp_synchronous()</tt>
+examples discussed earlier use RCU to protect readers and locking to
+coordinate updaters.
+However, the need extends much farther, requiring that a variety of
+synchronization primitives be legal within RCU read-side critical sections,
+including spinlocks, sequence locks, atomic operations, reference
+counters, and memory barriers.

+<p>
+It often comes as a surprise that many algorithms do not require a
+consistent view of data, but many can function in that mode,
+with network routing being the poster child.
+Internet routing algorithms take significant time to propagate
+updates, so that by the time an update arrives at a given system,
+that system has been sending network traffic the wrong way for
+a considerable length of time.
+Having a few threads continue to send traffic the wrong way for a
+few more milliseconds is clearly not a problem:  In the worst case,
+TCP retransmissions will eventually get the data where it needs to go.
+In general, when tracking the state of the universe outside of the
+computer, some level of inconsistency must be tolerated due to
+speed-of-light delays if nothing else.
+
+<p>
+Furthermore, uncertainty about external state is inherent in many cases.
+For example, a pair of veterinarians might use heartbeat to determine
+whether or not a given cat was alive.
+But how long should they wait after the last heartbeat to decide that
+the cat is in fact dead?
+Waiting less than 400 milliseconds makes no sense because this would
+mean that a relaxed cat would be considered to cycle between death
+and life more than 100 times per minute.
+Moreover, just as with human beings, a cat's heart might stop for
+some period of time, so the exact wait period is a judgment call.
+One of our pair of veterinarians might wait 30 seconds before pronouncing
+the cat dead, while the other might insist on waiting a full minute.
+The two veterinarians would then disagree on the state of the cat during
+the final 30 seconds of the minute following the last heartbeat.
+
+<p>
+Interestingly enough, this same situation applies to hardware.
+When push comes to shove, how do we tell whether or not some
+external server has failed?
+We send messages to it periodically, and declare it failed if we
+don't receive a response within a given period of time.
+Policy decisions can usually tolerate short
+periods of inconsistency.
+The policy was decided some time ago, and is only now being put into
+effect, so a few milliseconds of delay is normally inconsequential.
+
+<p>
+However, there are algorithms that absolutely must see consistent data.
+For example, the translation between a user-level SystemV semaphore
+ID to the corresponding in-kernel data structure is protected by RCU,
+but it is absolutely forbidden to update a semaphore that has just been
+removed.
+In the Linux kernel, this need for consistency is accommodated by acquiring
+spinlocks located in the in-kernel data structure from within
+the RCU read-side critical section, and this is indicated by the
+green box in the figure above.
+Many other techniques may be used, and are in fact used within the
+Linux kernel.
+
+<p>
+In short, RCU is not required to maintain consistency, and other
+mechanisms may be used in concert with RCU when consistency is required.
+RCU's specialization allows it to do its job extremely well, and its
+ability to interoperate with other synchronization mechanisms allows
+the right mix of synchronization tools to be used for a given job.
+
+<h3><a name="Performance and Scalability">Performance and Scalability</a></h3>
+
+<p>
+Energy efficiency is a critical component of performance today,
+and Linux-kernel RCU implementations must therefore avoid unnecessarily
+awakening idle CPUs.
+I cannot claim that this requirement was premeditated.
+In fact, I learned of it during a telephone conversation in which I
+was given &ldquo;frank and open&rdquo; feedback on the importance
+of energy efficiency in battery-powered systems and on specific
+energy-efficiency shortcomings of the Linux-kernel RCU implementation.
+In my experience, the battery-powered embedded community will consider
+any unnecessary wakeups to be extremely unfriendly acts.
+So much so that mere Linux-kernel-mailing-list posts are
+insufficient to vent their ire.
+
+<p>
+Memory consumption is not particularly important for in most
+situations, and has become decreasingly
+so as memory sizes have expanded and memory
+costs have plummeted.
+However, as I learned from Matt Mackall's
+<a href="http://elinux.org/Linux_Tiny-FAQ">bloatwatch</a>
+efforts, memory footprint is critically important on single-CPU systems with
+non-preemptible (<tt>CONFIG_PREEMPT=n</tt>) kernels, and thus
+<a href="https://lkml.kernel.org/g/20090113221724.GA15307@linux.vnet.ibm.com">tiny RCU</a>
+was born.
+Josh Triplett has since taken over the small-memory banner with his
+<a href="https://tiny.wiki.kernel.org/">Linux kernel tinification</a>
+project, which resulted in
+<a href="#Sleepable RCU">SRCU</a>
+becoming optional for those kernels not needing it.
+
+<p>
+The remaining performance requirements are, for the most part,
+unsurprising.
+For example, in keeping with RCU's read-side specialization,
+<tt>rcu_dereference()</tt> should have negligible overhead (for
+example, suppression of a few minor compiler optimizations).
+Similarly, in non-preemptible environments, <tt>rcu_read_lock()</tt> and
+<tt>rcu_read_unlock()</tt> should have exactly zero overhead.
+
+<p>
+In preemptible environments, in the case where the RCU read-side
+critical section was not preempted (as will be the case for the
+highest-priority real-time process), <tt>rcu_read_lock()</tt> and
+<tt>rcu_read_unlock()</tt> should have minimal overhead.
+In particular, they should not contain atomic read-modify-write
+operations, memory-barrier instructions, preemption disabling,
+interrupt disabling, or backwards branches.
+However, in the case where the RCU read-side critical section was preempted,
+<tt>rcu_read_unlock()</tt> may acquire spinlocks and disable interrupts.
+This is why it is better to nest an RCU read-side critical section
+within a preempt-disable region than vice versa, at least in cases
+where that critical section is short enough to avoid unduly degrading
+real-time latencies.
+
+<p>
+The <tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt> grace-period-wait primitive is
+optimized for throughput.
+It may therefore incur several milliseconds of latency in addition to
+the duration of the longest RCU read-side critical section.
+On the other hand, multiple concurrent invocations of
+<tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt> are required to use batching optimizations
+so that they can be satisfied by a single underlying grace-period-wait
+operation.
+For example, in the Linux kernel, it is not unusual for a single
+grace-period-wait operation to serve more than
+<a href="https://www.usenix.org/conference/2004-usenix-annual-technical-conference/making-rcu-safe-deep-sub-millisecond-response">1,000 separate invocations</a>
+of <tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt>, thus amortizing the per-invocation
+overhead down to nearly zero.
+However, the grace-period optimization is also required to avoid
+measurable degradation of real-time scheduling and interrupt latencies.
+
+<p>
+In some cases, the multi-millisecond <tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt>
+latencies are unacceptable.
+In these cases, <tt>synchronize_rcu_expedited()</tt> may be used
+instead, reducing the grace-period latency down to a few tens of
+microseconds on small systems, at least in cases where the RCU read-side
+critical sections are short.
+There are currently no special latency requirements for
+<tt>synchronize_rcu_expedited()</tt> on large systems, but,
+consistent with the empirical nature of the RCU specification,
+that is subject to change.
+However, there most definitely are scalability requirements:
+A storm of <tt>synchronize_rcu_expedited()</tt> invocations on 4096
+CPUs should at least make reasonable forward progress.
+In return for its shorter latencies, <tt>synchronize_rcu_expedited()</tt>
+is permitted to impose modest degradation of real-time latency
+on non-idle online CPUs.
+Here, &ldquo;modest&rdquo; means roughly the same latency
+degradation as a scheduling-clock interrupt.
+
+<p>
+There are a number of situations where even
+<tt>synchronize_rcu_expedited()</tt>'s reduced grace-period
+latency is unacceptable.
+In these situations, the asynchronous <tt>call_rcu()</tt> can be
+used in place of <tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt> as follows:
+
+<blockquote>
+<pre>
+ 1 struct foo {
+ 2   int a;
+ 3   int b;
+ 4   struct rcu_head rh;
+ 5 };
+ 6
+ 7 static void remove_gp_cb(struct rcu_head *rhp)
+ 8 {
+ 9   struct foo *p = container_of(rhp, struct foo, rh);
+10
+11   kfree(p);
+12 }
+13
+14 bool remove_gp_asynchronous(void)
+15 {
+16   struct foo *p;
+17
+18   spin_lock(&amp;gp_lock);
+19   p = rcu_dereference(gp);
+20   if (!p) {
+21     spin_unlock(&amp;gp_lock);
+22     return false;
+23   }
+24   rcu_assign_pointer(gp, NULL);
+25   call_rcu(&amp;p-&gt;rh, remove_gp_cb);
+26   spin_unlock(&amp;gp_lock);
+27   return true;
+28 }
+</pre>
+</blockquote>
+
+<p>
+A definition of <tt>struct foo</tt> is finally needed, and appears
+on lines&nbsp;1-5.
+The function <tt>remove_gp_cb()</tt> is passed to <tt>call_rcu()</tt>
+on line&nbsp;25, and will be invoked after the end of a subsequent
+grace period.
+This gets the same effect as <tt>remove_gp_synchronous()</tt>,
+but without forcing the updater to wait for a grace period to elapse.
+The <tt>call_rcu()</tt> function may be used in a number of
+situations where neither <tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt> nor
+<tt>synchronize_rcu_expedited()</tt> would be legal,
+including within preempt-disable code, <tt>local_bh_disable()</tt> code,
+interrupt-disable code, and interrupt handlers.
+However, even <tt>call_rcu()</tt> is illegal within NMI handlers
+and from idle and offline CPUs.
+The callback function (<tt>remove_gp_cb()</tt> in this case) will be
+executed within softirq (software interrupt) environment within the
+Linux kernel,
+either within a real softirq handler or under the protection
+of <tt>local_bh_disable()</tt>.
+In both the Linux kernel and in userspace, it is bad practice to
+write an RCU callback function that takes too long.
+Long-running operations should be relegated to separate threads or
+(in the Linux kernel) workqueues.

+The need for <tt>get_state_synchronize_rcu</tt> and
+<tt>cond_synchronize_rcu()</tt> has appeared quite recently,
+so it is too early to tell whether they will stand the test of time.
+
+<p>
+RCU thus provides a range of tools to allow updaters to strike the
+required tradeoff between latency, flexibility and CPU overhead.
+
+<h3><a name="Composability">Composability</a></h3>
+
+<p>
+Composability has received much attention in recent years, perhaps in part
+due to the collision of multicore hardware with object-oriented techniques
+designed in single-threaded environments for single-threaded use.
+And in theory, RCU read-side critical sections may be composed, and in
+fact may be nested arbitrarily deeply.
+In practice, as with all real-world implementations of composable
+constructs, there are limitations.
+
+<p>
+Implementations of RCU for which <tt>rcu_read_lock()</tt>
+and <tt>rcu_read_unlock()</tt> generate no code, such as
+Linux-kernel RCU when <tt>CONFIG_PREEMPT=n</tt>, can be
+nested arbitrarily deeply.
+After all, there is no overhead.
+Except that if all these instances of <tt>rcu_read_lock()</tt>
+and <tt>rcu_read_unlock()</tt> are visible to the compiler,
+compilation will eventually fail due to exhausting memory,
+mass storage, or user patience, whichever comes first.
+If the nesting is not visible to the compiler, as is the case with
+mutually recursive functions each in its own translation unit,
+stack overflow will result.
+If the nesting takes the form of loops, perhaps in the guise of tail
+recursion, either the control variable
+will overflow or (in the Linux kernel) you will get an RCU CPU stall warning.
+Nevertheless, this class of RCU implementations is one
+of the most composable constructs in existence.
+
+<p>
+RCU implementations that explicitly track nesting depth
+are limited by the nesting-depth counter.
+For example, the Linux kernel's preemptible RCU limits nesting to
+<tt>INT_MAX</tt>.
+This should suffice for almost all practical purposes.
+That said, a consecutive pair of RCU read-side critical sections
+between which there is an operation that waits for a grace period
+cannot be enclosed in another RCU read-side critical section.
+This is because it is not legal to wait for a grace period within
+an RCU read-side critical section:  To do so would result either
+in deadlock or
+in RCU implicitly splitting the enclosing RCU read-side critical
+section, neither of which is conducive to a long-lived and prosperous
+kernel.
+
+<p>
+It is worth noting that RCU is not alone in limiting composability.
+For example, many transactional-memory implementations prohibit
+composing a pair of transactions separated by an irrevocable
+operation (for example, a network receive operation).
+For another example, lock-based critical sections can be composed
+surprisingly freely, but only if deadlock is avoided.
+
+<p>
+In short, although RCU read-side critical sections are highly composable,
+care is required in some situations, just as is the case for any other
+composable synchronization mechanism.
+
+<h3><a name="Corner Cases">Corner Cases</a></h3>
+
+<p>
+A given RCU workload might have an endless and intense stream of
+RCU read-side critical sections, perhaps even so intense that there
+was never a point in time during which there was not at least one
+RCU read-side critical section in flight.
+RCU cannot allow this situation to block grace periods:  As long as
+all the RCU read-side critical sections are finite, grace periods
+must also be finite.
+
+<p>
+That said, preemptible RCU implementations could potentially result
+in RCU read-side critical sections being preempted for long durations,
+which has the effect of creating a long-duration RCU read-side
+critical section.
+This situation can arise only in heavily loaded systems, but systems using
+real-time priorities are of course more vulnerable.
+Therefore, RCU priority boosting is provided to help deal with this
+case.
+That said, the exact requirements on RCU priority boosting will likely
+evolve as more experience accumulates.
+
+<p>
+Other workloads might have very high update rates.
+Although one can argue that such workloads should instead use
+something other than RCU, the fact remains that RCU must
+handle such workloads gracefully.
+This requirement is another factor driving batching of grace periods,
+but it is also the driving force behind the checks for large numbers
+of queued RCU callbacks in the <tt>call_rcu()</tt> code path.
+Finally, high update rates should not delay RCU read-side critical
+sections, although some small read-side delays can occur when using
+<tt>synchronize_rcu_expedited()</tt>, courtesy of this function's use
+of <tt>smp_call_function_single()</tt>.
+
+<p>
+Although all three of these corner cases were understood in the early
+1990s, a simple user-level test consisting of <tt>close(open(path))</tt>
+in a tight loop
+in the early 2000s suddenly provided a much deeper appreciation of the
+high-update-rate corner case.
+This test also motivated addition of some RCU code to react to high update
+rates, for example, if a given CPU finds itself with more than 10,000
+RCU callbacks queued, it will cause RCU to take evasive action by
+more aggressively starting grace periods and more aggressively forcing
+completion of grace-period processing.
+This evasive action causes the grace period to complete more quickly,
+but at the cost of restricting RCU's batching optimizations, thus
+increasing the CPU overhead incurred by that grace period.

+guard against mishaps and misuse:
+
+<ol>
+<li>	It is all too easy to forget to use <tt>rcu_read_lock()</tt>
+	everywhere that it is needed, so kernels built with
+	<tt>CONFIG_PROVE_RCU=y</tt> will splat if
+	<tt>rcu_dereference()</tt> is used outside of an
+	RCU read-side critical section.
+	Update-side code can use <tt>rcu_dereference_protected()</tt>,
+	which takes a
+	<a href="https://lwn.net/Articles/371986/">lockdep expression</a>
+	to indicate what is providing the protection.
+	If the indicated protection is not provided, a lockdep splat
+	is emitted.
+
+	<p>
+	Code shared between readers and updaters can use
+	<tt>rcu_dereference_check()</tt>, which also takes a
+	lockdep expression, and emits a lockdep splat if neither
+	<tt>rcu_read_lock()</tt> nor the indicated protection
+	is in place.
+	In addition, <tt>rcu_dereference_raw()</tt> is used in those
+	(hopefully rare) cases where the required protection cannot
+	be easily described.
+	Finally, <tt>rcu_read_lock_held()</tt> is provided to
+	allow a function to verify that it has been invoked within
+	an RCU read-side critical section.
+	I was made aware of this set of requirements shortly after Thomas
+	Gleixner audited a number of RCU uses.
+<li>	A given function might wish to check for RCU-related preconditions
+	upon entry, before using any other RCU API.
+	The <tt>rcu_lockdep_assert()</tt> does this job,
+	asserting the expression in kernels having lockdep enabled
+	and doing nothing otherwise.
+<li>	It is also easy to forget to use <tt>rcu_assign_pointer()</tt>
+	and <tt>rcu_dereference()</tt>, perhaps (incorrectly)
+	substituting a simple assignment.
+	To catch this sort of error, a given RCU-protected pointer may be
+	tagged with <tt>__rcu</tt>, after which sparse
+	will complain about simple-assignment accesses to that pointer.
+	Arnd Bergmann made me aware of this requirement, and also
+	supplied the needed
+	<a href="https://lwn.net/Articles/376011/">patch series</a>.
+<li>	Kernels built with <tt>CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS_RCU_HEAD=y</tt>
+	will splat if a data element is passed to <tt>call_rcu()</tt>
+	twice in a row, without a grace period in between.
+	(This error is similar to a double free.)
+	The corresponding <tt>rcu_head</tt> structures that are
+	dynamically allocated are automatically tracked, but
+	<tt>rcu_head</tt> structures allocated on the stack
+	must be initialized with <tt>init_rcu_head_on_stack()</tt>
+	and cleaned up with <tt>destroy_rcu_head_on_stack()</tt>.
+	Similarly, statically allocated non-stack <tt>rcu_head</tt>
+	structures must be initialized with <tt>init_rcu_head()</tt>
+	and cleaned up with <tt>destroy_rcu_head()</tt>.
+	Mathieu Desnoyers made me aware of this requirement, and also
+	supplied the needed
+	<a href="https://lkml.kernel.org/g/20100319013024.GA28456@Krystal">patch</a>.
+<li>	An infinite loop in an RCU read-side critical section will
+	eventually trigger an RCU CPU stall warning splat, with
+	the duration of &ldquo;eventually&rdquo; being controlled by the
+	<tt>RCU_CPU_STALL_TIMEOUT</tt> <tt>Kconfig</tt> option, or,
+	alternatively, by the
+	<tt>rcupdate.rcu_cpu_stall_timeout</tt> boot/sysfs
+	parameter.
+	However, RCU is not obligated to produce this splat
+	unless there is a grace period waiting on that particular
+	RCU read-side critical section.
+	<p>
+	Some extreme workloads might intentionally delay
+	RCU grace periods, and systems running those workloads can
+	be booted with <tt>rcupdate.rcu_cpu_stall_suppress</tt>
+	to suppress the splats.
+	This kernel parameter may also be set via <tt>sysfs</tt>.
+	Furthermore, RCU CPU stall warnings are counter-productive
+	during sysrq dumps and during panics.
+	RCU therefore supplies the <tt>rcu_sysrq_start()</tt> and
+	<tt>rcu_sysrq_end()</tt> API members to be called before
+	and after long sysrq dumps.
+	RCU also supplies the <tt>rcu_panic()</tt> notifier that is
+	automatically invoked at the beginning of a panic to suppress
+	further RCU CPU stall warnings.
+
+	<p>
+	This requirement made itself known in the early 1990s, pretty
+	much the first time that it was necessary to debug a CPU stall.
+	That said, the initial implementation in DYNIX/ptx was quite
+	generic in comparison with that of Linux.
+<li>	Although it would be very good to detect pointers leaking out
+	of RCU read-side critical sections, there is currently no
+	good way of doing this.
+	One complication is the need to distinguish between pointers
+	leaking and pointers that have been handed off from RCU to
+	some other synchronization mechanism, for example, reference
+	counting.
+<li>	In kernels built with <tt>CONFIG_RCU_TRACE=y</tt>, RCU-related
+	information is provided via event tracing.
+<li>	Open-coded use of <tt>rcu_assign_pointer()</tt> and
+	<tt>rcu_dereference()</tt> to create typical linked
+	data structures can be surprisingly error-prone.
+	Therefore, RCU-protected
+	<a href="https://lwn.net/Articles/609973/#RCU List APIs">linked lists</a>
+	and, more recently, RCU-protected
+	<a href="https://lwn.net/Articles/612100/">hash tables</a>
+	are available.
+	Many other special-purpose RCU-protected data structures are
+	available in the Linux kernel and the userspace RCU library.
+<li>	Some linked structures are created at compile time, but still
+	require <tt>__rcu</tt> checking.
+	The <tt>RCU_POINTER_INITIALIZER()</tt> macro serves this
+	purpose.
+<li>	It is not necessary to use <tt>rcu_assign_pointer()</tt>
+	when creating linked structures that are to be published via
+	a single external pointer.
+	The <tt>RCU_INIT_POINTER()</tt> macro is provided for
+	this task and also for assigning <tt>NULL</tt> pointers
+	at runtime.
+</ol>
+
+<p>
+This not a hard-and-fast list:  RCU's diagnostic capabilities will
+continue to be guided by the number and type of usage bugs found
+in real-world RCU usage.

+
+<p>
+This list is probably incomplete, but it does give a feel for the
+most notable Linux-kernel complications.
+Each of the following sections covers one of the above topics.
+
+<h3><a name="Configuration">Configuration</a></h3>
+
+<p>
+RCU's goal is automatic configuration, so that almost nobody
+needs to worry about RCU's <tt>Kconfig</tt> options.
+And for almost all users, RCU does in fact work well
+&ldquo;out of the box.&rdquo;
+
+<p>
+However, there are specialized use cases that are handled by
+kernel boot parameters and <tt>Kconfig</tt> options.
+Unfortunately, the <tt>Kconfig</tt> system will explicitly ask users
+about new <tt>Kconfig</tt> options, which requires almost all of them
+be hidden behind a <tt>CONFIG_RCU_EXPERT</tt> <tt>Kconfig</tt> option.
+
+<p>
+This all should be quite obvious, but the fact remains that
+Linus Torvalds recently had to
+<a href="https://lkml.kernel.org/g/CA+55aFy4wcCwaL4okTs8wXhGZ5h-ibecy_Meg9C4MNQrUnwMcg@mail.gmail.com">remind</a>
+me of this requirement.
+
+<h3><a name="Firmware Interface">Firmware Interface</a></h3>
+
+<p>
+In many cases, kernel obtains information about the system from the
+firmware, and sometimes things are lost in translation.
+Or the translation is accurate, but the original message is bogus.
+
+<p>
+For example, some systems' firmware overreports the number of CPUs,
+sometimes by a large factor.
+If RCU naively believed the firmware, as it used to do,
+it would create too many per-CPU kthreads.
+Although the resulting system will still run correctly, the extra
+kthreads needlessly consume memory and can cause confusion
+when they show up in <tt>ps</tt> listings.
+
+<p>
+RCU must therefore wait for a given CPU to actually come online before
+it can allow itself to believe that the CPU actually exists.
+The resulting &ldquo;ghost CPUs&rdquo; (which are never going to
+come online) cause a number of
+<a href="https://paulmck.livejournal.com/37494.html">interesting complications</a>.
+
+<h3><a name="Early Boot">Early Boot</a></h3>
+
+<p>
+The Linux kernel's boot sequence is an interesting process,
+and RCU is used early, even before <tt>rcu_init()</tt>
+is invoked.
+In fact, a number of RCU's primitives can be used as soon as the
+initial task's <tt>task_struct</tt> is available and the
+boot CPU's per-CPU variables are set up.
+The read-side primitives (<tt>rcu_read_lock()</tt>,
+<tt>rcu_read_unlock()</tt>, <tt>rcu_dereference()</tt>,
+and <tt>rcu_access_pointer()</tt>) will operate normally very early on,
+as will <tt>rcu_assign_pointer()</tt>.
+
+<p>
+Although <tt>call_rcu()</tt> may be invoked at any
+time during boot, callbacks are not guaranteed to be invoked until after
+all of RCU's kthreads have been spawned, which occurs at
+<tt>early_initcall()</tt> time.
+This delay in callback invocation is due to the fact that RCU does not
+invoke callbacks until it is fully initialized, and this full initialization
+cannot occur until after the scheduler has initialized itself to the
+point where RCU can spawn and run its kthreads.
+In theory, it would be possible to invoke callbacks earlier,
+however, this is not a panacea because there would be severe restrictions
+on what operations those callbacks could invoke.
+
+<p>
+Perhaps surprisingly, <tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt>,
+<a href="#Bottom-Half Flavor"><tt>synchronize_rcu_bh()</tt></a>
+(<a href="#Bottom-Half Flavor">discussed below</a>),
+<a href="#Sched Flavor"><tt>synchronize_sched()</tt></a>,
+<tt>synchronize_rcu_expedited()</tt>,
+<tt>synchronize_rcu_bh_expedited()</tt>, and
+<tt>synchronize_sched_expedited()</tt>
+will all operate normally
+during very early boot, the reason being that there is only one CPU
+and preemption is disabled.
+This means that the call <tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt> (or friends)
+itself is a quiescent
+state and thus a grace period, so the early-boot implementation can
+be a no-op.
+
+<p>
+However, once the scheduler has spawned its first kthread, this early
+boot trick fails for <tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt> (as well as for
+<tt>synchronize_rcu_expedited()</tt>) in <tt>CONFIG_PREEMPT=y</tt>
+kernels.
+The reason is that an RCU read-side critical section might be preempted,
+which means that a subsequent <tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt> really does have
+to wait for something, as opposed to simply returning immediately.
+Unfortunately, <tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt> can't do this until all of
+its kthreads are spawned, which doesn't happen until some time during
+<tt>early_initcalls()</tt> time.
+But this is no excuse:  RCU is nevertheless required to correctly handle
+synchronous grace periods during this time period.
+Once all of its kthreads are up and running, RCU starts running
+normally.

+I learned of these boot-time requirements as a result of a series of
+system hangs.
+
+<h3><a name="Interrupts and NMIs">Interrupts and NMIs</a></h3>
+
+<p>
+The Linux kernel has interrupts, and RCU read-side critical sections are
+legal within interrupt handlers and within interrupt-disabled regions
+of code, as are invocations of <tt>call_rcu()</tt>.
+
+<p>
+Some Linux-kernel architectures can enter an interrupt handler from
+non-idle process context, and then just never leave it, instead stealthily
+transitioning back to process context.
+This trick is sometimes used to invoke system calls from inside the kernel.
+These &ldquo;half-interrupts&rdquo; mean that RCU has to be very careful
+about how it counts interrupt nesting levels.
+I learned of this requirement the hard way during a rewrite
+of RCU's dyntick-idle code.
+
+<p>
+The Linux kernel has non-maskable interrupts (NMIs), and
+RCU read-side critical sections are legal within NMI handlers.
+Thankfully, RCU update-side primitives, including
+<tt>call_rcu()</tt>, are prohibited within NMI handlers.
+
+<p>
+The name notwithstanding, some Linux-kernel architectures
+can have nested NMIs, which RCU must handle correctly.
+Andy Lutomirski
+<a href="https://lkml.kernel.org/g/CALCETrXLq1y7e_dKFPgou-FKHB6Pu-r8+t-6Ds+8=va7anBWDA@mail.gmail.com">surprised me</a>
+with this requirement;
+he also kindly surprised me with
+<a href="https://lkml.kernel.org/g/CALCETrXSY9JpW3uE6H8WYk81sg56qasA2aqmjMPsq5dOtzso=g@mail.gmail.com">an algorithm</a>
+that meets this requirement.
+
+<h3><a name="Loadable Modules">Loadable Modules</a></h3>
+
+<p>
+The Linux kernel has loadable modules, and these modules can
+also be unloaded.
+After a given module has been unloaded, any attempt to call
+one of its functions results in a segmentation fault.
+The module-unload functions must therefore cancel any
+delayed calls to loadable-module functions, for example,
+any outstanding <tt>mod_timer()</tt> must be dealt with
+via <tt>del_timer_sync()</tt> or similar.
+
+<p>
+Unfortunately, there is no way to cancel an RCU callback;
+once you invoke <tt>call_rcu()</tt>, the callback function is
+going to eventually be invoked, unless the system goes down first.
+Because it is normally considered socially irresponsible to crash the system
+in response to a module unload request, we need some other way
+to deal with in-flight RCU callbacks.
+
+<p>
+RCU therefore provides
+<tt><a href="https://lwn.net/Articles/217484/">rcu_barrier()</a></tt>,
+which waits until all in-flight RCU callbacks have been invoked.
+If a module uses <tt>call_rcu()</tt>, its exit function should therefore
+prevent any future invocation of <tt>call_rcu()</tt>, then invoke
+<tt>rcu_barrier()</tt>.
+In theory, the underlying module-unload code could invoke
+<tt>rcu_barrier()</tt> unconditionally, but in practice this would
+incur unacceptable latencies.
+
+<p>
+Nikita Danilov noted this requirement for an analogous filesystem-unmount
+situation, and Dipankar Sarma incorporated <tt>rcu_barrier()</tt> into RCU.
+The need for <tt>rcu_barrier()</tt> for module unloading became
+apparent later.
+
+<p>
+<b>Important note</b>: The <tt>rcu_barrier()</tt> function is not,
+repeat, <i>not</i>, obligated to wait for a grace period.
+It is instead only required to wait for RCU callbacks that have
+already been posted.
+Therefore, if there are no RCU callbacks posted anywhere in the system,
+<tt>rcu_barrier()</tt> is within its rights to return immediately.
+Even if there are callbacks posted, <tt>rcu_barrier()</tt> does not
+necessarily need to wait for a grace period.
+
+<table>
+<tr><th>&nbsp;</th></tr>
+<tr><th align="left">Quick Quiz:</th></tr>
+<tr><td>
+	Wait a minute!
+	Each RCU callbacks must wait for a grace period to complete,
+	and <tt>rcu_barrier()</tt> must wait for each pre-existing
+	callback to be invoked.
+	Doesn't <tt>rcu_barrier()</tt> therefore need to wait for
+	a full grace period if there is even one callback posted anywhere
+	in the system?
+</td></tr>
+<tr><th align="left">Answer:</th></tr>
+<tr><td bgcolor="#ffffff"><font color="ffffff">
+	Absolutely not!!!
+	</font>
+
+	<p><font color="ffffff">
+	Yes, each RCU callbacks must wait for a grace period to complete,
+	but it might well be partly (or even completely) finished waiting
+	by the time <tt>rcu_barrier()</tt> is invoked.
+	In that case, <tt>rcu_barrier()</tt> need only wait for the
+	remaining portion of the grace period to elapse.
+	So even if there are quite a few callbacks posted,
+	<tt>rcu_barrier()</tt> might well return quite quickly.
+	</font>
+
+	<p><font color="ffffff">
+	So if you need to wait for a grace period as well as for all
+	pre-existing callbacks, you will need to invoke both
+	<tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt> and <tt>rcu_barrier()</tt>.
+	If latency is a concern, you can always use workqueues
+	to invoke them concurrently.

+
+<h3><a name="Hotplug CPU">Hotplug CPU</a></h3>
+
+<p>
+The Linux kernel supports CPU hotplug, which means that CPUs
+can come and go.
+It is of course illegal to use any RCU API member from an offline CPU,
+with the exception of <a href="#Sleepable RCU">SRCU</a> read-side
+critical sections.
+This requirement was present from day one in DYNIX/ptx, but
+on the other hand, the Linux kernel's CPU-hotplug implementation
+is &ldquo;interesting.&rdquo;
+
+<p>
+The Linux-kernel CPU-hotplug implementation has notifiers that
+are used to allow the various kernel subsystems (including RCU)
+to respond appropriately to a given CPU-hotplug operation.
+Most RCU operations may be invoked from CPU-hotplug notifiers,
+including even synchronous grace-period operations such as
+<tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt> and <tt>synchronize_rcu_expedited()</tt>.
+
+<p>
+However, all-callback-wait operations such as
+<tt>rcu_barrier()</tt> are also not supported, due to the
+fact that there are phases of CPU-hotplug operations where
+the outgoing CPU's callbacks will not be invoked until after
+the CPU-hotplug operation ends, which could also result in deadlock.
+Furthermore, <tt>rcu_barrier()</tt> blocks CPU-hotplug operations
+during its execution, which results in another type of deadlock
+when invoked from a CPU-hotplug notifier.
+
+<h3><a name="Scheduler and RCU">Scheduler and RCU</a></h3>
+
+<p>
+RCU depends on the scheduler, and the scheduler uses RCU to
+protect some of its data structures.
+This means the scheduler is forbidden from acquiring
+the runqueue locks and the priority-inheritance locks
+in the middle of an outermost RCU read-side critical section unless either
+(1)&nbsp;it releases them before exiting that same
+RCU read-side critical section, or
+(2)&nbsp;interrupts are disabled across
+that entire RCU read-side critical section.
+This same prohibition also applies (recursively!) to any lock that is acquired
+while holding any lock to which this prohibition applies.
+Adhering to this rule prevents preemptible RCU from invoking
+<tt>rcu_read_unlock_special()</tt> while either runqueue or
+priority-inheritance locks are held, thus avoiding deadlock.
+
+<p>
+Prior to v4.4, it was only necessary to disable preemption across
+RCU read-side critical sections that acquired scheduler locks.
+In v4.4, expedited grace periods started using IPIs, and these
+IPIs could force a <tt>rcu_read_unlock()</tt> to take the slowpath.
+Therefore, this expedited-grace-period change required disabling of
+interrupts, not just preemption.
+
+<p>
+For RCU's part, the preemptible-RCU <tt>rcu_read_unlock()</tt>
+implementation must be written carefully to avoid similar deadlocks.
+In particular, <tt>rcu_read_unlock()</tt> must tolerate an
+interrupt where the interrupt handler invokes both
+<tt>rcu_read_lock()</tt> and <tt>rcu_read_unlock()</tt>.
+This possibility requires <tt>rcu_read_unlock()</tt> to use
+negative nesting levels to avoid destructive recursion via
+interrupt handler's use of RCU.
+
+<p>
+This pair of mutual scheduler-RCU requirements came as a
+<a href="https://lwn.net/Articles/453002/">complete surprise</a>.
+
+<p>
+As noted above, RCU makes use of kthreads, and it is necessary to
+avoid excessive CPU-time accumulation by these kthreads.
+This requirement was no surprise, but RCU's violation of it
+when running context-switch-heavy workloads when built with
+<tt>CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y</tt>
+<a href="http://www.rdrop.com/users/paulmck/scalability/paper/BareMetal.2015.01.15b.pdf">did come as a surprise [PDF]</a>.
+RCU has made good progress towards meeting this requirement, even
+for context-switch-have <tt>CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y</tt> workloads,
+but there is room for further improvement.
+
+<h3><a name="Tracing and RCU">Tracing and RCU</a></h3>
+
+<p>
+It is possible to use tracing on RCU code, but tracing itself
+uses RCU.
+For this reason, <tt>rcu_dereference_raw_notrace()</tt>
+is provided for use by tracing, which avoids the destructive
+recursion that could otherwise ensue.
+This API is also used by virtualization in some architectures,
+where RCU readers execute in environments in which tracing
+cannot be used.
+The tracing folks both located the requirement and provided the
+needed fix, so this surprise requirement was relatively painless.
+
+<h3><a name="Energy Efficiency">Energy Efficiency</a></h3>
+
+<p>
+Interrupting idle CPUs is considered socially unacceptable,
+especially by people with battery-powered embedded systems.
+RCU therefore conserves energy by detecting which CPUs are
+idle, including tracking CPUs that have been interrupted from idle.
+This is a large part of the energy-efficiency requirement,
+so I learned of this via an irate phone call.
+
+<p>
+Because RCU avoids interrupting idle CPUs, it is illegal to
+execute an RCU read-side critical section on an idle CPU.
+(Kernels built with <tt>CONFIG_PROVE_RCU=y</tt> will splat
+if you try it.)
+The <tt>RCU_NONIDLE()</tt> macro and <tt>_rcuidle</tt>
+event tracing is provided to work around this restriction.
+In addition, <tt>rcu_is_watching()</tt> may be used to
+test whether or not it is currently legal to run RCU read-side
+critical sections on this CPU.
+I learned of the need for diagnostics on the one hand
+and <tt>RCU_NONIDLE()</tt> on the other while inspecting
+idle-loop code.
+Steven Rostedt supplied <tt>_rcuidle</tt> event tracing,
+which is used quite heavily in the idle loop.
+However, there are some restrictions on the code placed within
+<tt>RCU_NONIDLE()</tt>:
+
+<ol>
+<li>	Blocking is prohibited.
+	In practice, this is not a serious restriction given that idle
+	tasks are prohibited from blocking to begin with.
+<li>	Although nesting <tt>RCU_NONIDLE()</tt> is permitted, they cannot
+	nest indefinitely deeply.
+	However, given that they can be nested on the order of a million
+	deep, even on 32-bit systems, this should not be a serious
+	restriction.
+	This nesting limit would probably be reached long after the
+	compiler OOMed or the stack overflowed.
+<li>	Any code path that enters <tt>RCU_NONIDLE()</tt> must sequence
+	out of that same <tt>RCU_NONIDLE()</tt>.
+	For example, the following is grossly illegal:
+
+	<blockquote>
+	<pre>
+ 1     RCU_NONIDLE({
+ 2       do_something();
+ 3       goto bad_idea;  /* BUG!!! */
+ 4       do_something_else();});
+ 5   bad_idea:
+	</pre>
+	</blockquote>
+
+	<p>
+	It is just as illegal to transfer control into the middle of
+	<tt>RCU_NONIDLE()</tt>'s argument.
+	Yes, in theory, you could transfer in as long as you also
+	transferred out, but in practice you could also expect to get sharply
+	worded review comments.
+</ol>
+
+<p>
+It is similarly socially unacceptable to interrupt an
+<tt>nohz_full</tt> CPU running in userspace.
+RCU must therefore track <tt>nohz_full</tt> userspace
+execution.
+RCU must therefore be able to sample state at two points in
+time, and be able to determine whether or not some other CPU spent
+any time idle and/or executing in userspace.
+
+<p>
+These energy-efficiency requirements have proven quite difficult to
+understand and to meet, for example, there have been more than five
+clean-sheet rewrites of RCU's energy-efficiency code, the last of
+which was finally able to demonstrate
+<a href="http://www.rdrop.com/users/paulmck/realtime/paper/AMPenergy.2013.04.19a.pdf">real energy savings running on real hardware [PDF]</a>.
+As noted earlier,
+I learned of many of these requirements via angry phone calls:
+Flaming me on the Linux-kernel mailing list was apparently not
+sufficient to fully vent their ire at RCU's energy-efficiency bugs!

+However, RCU must be reliably informed as to whether any given
+CPU is currently in the idle loop, and, for <tt>NO_HZ_FULL</tt>,
+also whether that CPU is executing in usermode, as discussed
+<a href="#Energy Efficiency">earlier</a>.
+It also requires that the scheduling-clock interrupt be enabled when
+RCU needs it to be:
+
+<ol>
+<li>	If a CPU is either idle or executing in usermode, and RCU believes
+	it is non-idle, the scheduling-clock tick had better be running.
+	Otherwise, you will get RCU CPU stall warnings.  Or at best,
+	very long (11-second) grace periods, with a pointless IPI waking
+	the CPU from time to time.
+<li>	If a CPU is in a portion of the kernel that executes RCU read-side
+	critical sections, and RCU believes this CPU to be idle, you will get
+	random memory corruption.  <b>DON'T DO THIS!!!</b>
+
+	<br>This is one reason to test with lockdep, which will complain
+	about this sort of thing.
+<li>	If a CPU is in a portion of the kernel that is absolutely
+	positively no-joking guaranteed to never execute any RCU read-side
+	critical sections, and RCU believes this CPU to to be idle,
+	no problem.  This sort of thing is used by some architectures
+	for light-weight exception handlers, which can then avoid the
+	overhead of <tt>rcu_irq_enter()</tt> and <tt>rcu_irq_exit()</tt>
+	at exception entry and exit, respectively.
+	Some go further and avoid the entireties of <tt>irq_enter()</tt>
+	and <tt>irq_exit()</tt>.
+
+	<br>Just make very sure you are running some of your tests with
+	<tt>CONFIG_PROVE_RCU=y</tt>, just in case one of your code paths
+	was in fact joking about not doing RCU read-side critical sections.
+<li>	If a CPU is executing in the kernel with the scheduling-clock
+	interrupt disabled and RCU believes this CPU to be non-idle,
+	and if the CPU goes idle (from an RCU perspective) every few
+	jiffies, no problem.  It is usually OK for there to be the
+	occasional gap between idle periods of up to a second or so.
+
+	<br>If the gap grows too long, you get RCU CPU stall warnings.
+<li>	If a CPU is either idle or executing in usermode, and RCU believes
+	it to be idle, of course no problem.
+<li>	If a CPU is executing in the kernel, the kernel code
+	path is passing through quiescent states at a reasonable
+	frequency (preferably about once per few jiffies, but the
+	occasional excursion to a second or so is usually OK) and the
+	scheduling-clock interrupt is enabled, of course no problem.
+
+	<br>If the gap between a successive pair of quiescent states grows
+	too long, you get RCU CPU stall warnings.

+
+<h3><a name="Memory Efficiency">Memory Efficiency</a></h3>
+
+<p>
+Although small-memory non-realtime systems can simply use Tiny RCU,
+code size is only one aspect of memory efficiency.
+Another aspect is the size of the <tt>rcu_head</tt> structure
+used by <tt>call_rcu()</tt> and <tt>kfree_rcu()</tt>.
+Although this structure contains nothing more than a pair of pointers,
+it does appear in many RCU-protected data structures, including
+some that are size critical.
+The <tt>page</tt> structure is a case in point, as evidenced by
+the many occurrences of the <tt>union</tt> keyword within that structure.
+
+<p>
+This need for memory efficiency is one reason that RCU uses hand-crafted
+singly linked lists to track the <tt>rcu_head</tt> structures that
+are waiting for a grace period to elapse.
+It is also the reason why <tt>rcu_head</tt> structures do not contain
+debug information, such as fields tracking the file and line of the
+<tt>call_rcu()</tt> or <tt>kfree_rcu()</tt> that posted them.
+Although this information might appear in debug-only kernel builds at some
+point, in the meantime, the <tt>-&gt;func</tt> field will often provide
+the needed debug information.
+
+<p>
+However, in some cases, the need for memory efficiency leads to even
+more extreme measures.
+Returning to the <tt>page</tt> structure, the <tt>rcu_head</tt> field
+shares storage with a great many other structures that are used at
+various points in the corresponding page's lifetime.
+In order to correctly resolve certain
+<a href="https://lkml.kernel.org/g/1439976106-137226-1-git-send-email-kirill.shutemov@linux.intel.com">race conditions</a>,
+the Linux kernel's memory-management subsystem needs a particular bit
+to remain zero during all phases of grace-period processing,
+and that bit happens to map to the bottom bit of the
+<tt>rcu_head</tt> structure's <tt>-&gt;next</tt> field.
+RCU makes this guarantee as long as <tt>call_rcu()</tt>
+is used to post the callback, as opposed to <tt>kfree_rcu()</tt>
+or some future &ldquo;lazy&rdquo;
+variant of <tt>call_rcu()</tt> that might one day be created for
+energy-efficiency purposes.
+
+<p>
+That said, there are limits.
+RCU requires that the <tt>rcu_head</tt> structure be aligned to a
+two-byte boundary, and passing a misaligned <tt>rcu_head</tt>
+structure to one of the <tt>call_rcu()</tt> family of functions
+will result in a splat.
+It is therefore necessary to exercise caution when packing
+structures containing fields of type <tt>rcu_head</tt>.
+Why not a four-byte or even eight-byte alignment requirement?
+Because the m68k architecture provides only two-byte alignment,
+and thus acts as alignment's least common denominator.
+
+<p>
+The reason for reserving the bottom bit of pointers to
+<tt>rcu_head</tt> structures is to leave the door open to
+&ldquo;lazy&rdquo; callbacks whose invocations can safely be deferred.
+Deferring invocation could potentially have energy-efficiency
+benefits, but only if the rate of non-lazy callbacks decreases
+significantly for some important workload.
+In the meantime, reserving the bottom bit keeps this option open
+in case it one day becomes useful.
+
+<h3><a name="Performance, Scalability, Response Time, and Reliability">
+Performance, Scalability, Response Time, and Reliability</a></h3>
+
+<p>
+Expanding on the
+<a href="#Performance and Scalability">earlier discussion</a>,
+RCU is used heavily by hot code paths in performance-critical
+portions of the Linux kernel's networking, security, virtualization,
+and scheduling code paths.
+RCU must therefore use efficient implementations, especially in its
+read-side primitives.
+To that end, it would be good if preemptible RCU's implementation
+of <tt>rcu_read_lock()</tt> could be inlined, however, doing
+this requires resolving <tt>#include</tt> issues with the
+<tt>task_struct</tt> structure.
+
+<p>
+The Linux kernel supports hardware configurations with up to
+4096 CPUs, which means that RCU must be extremely scalable.
+Algorithms that involve frequent acquisitions of global locks or
+frequent atomic operations on global variables simply cannot be
+tolerated within the RCU implementation.
+RCU therefore makes heavy use of a combining tree based on the
+<tt>rcu_node</tt> structure.
+RCU is required to tolerate all CPUs continuously invoking any
+combination of RCU's runtime primitives with minimal per-operation
+overhead.
+In fact, in many cases, increasing load must <i>decrease</i> the
+per-operation overhead, witness the batching optimizations for
+<tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt>, <tt>call_rcu()</tt>,
+<tt>synchronize_rcu_expedited()</tt>, and <tt>rcu_barrier()</tt>.
+As a general rule, RCU must cheerfully accept whatever the
+rest of the Linux kernel decides to throw at it.
+
+<p>
+The Linux kernel is used for real-time workloads, especially
+in conjunction with the
+<a href="https://rt.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Main_Page">-rt patchset</a>.
+The real-time-latency response requirements are such that the
+traditional approach of disabling preemption across RCU
+read-side critical sections is inappropriate.
+Kernels built with <tt>CONFIG_PREEMPT=y</tt> therefore
+use an RCU implementation that allows RCU read-side critical
+sections to be preempted.
+This requirement made its presence known after users made it
+clear that an earlier
+<a href="https://lwn.net/Articles/107930/">real-time patch</a>
+did not meet their needs, in conjunction with some
+<a href="https://lkml.kernel.org/g/20050318002026.GA2693@us.ibm.com">RCU issues</a>
+encountered by a very early version of the -rt patchset.
+
+<p>
+In addition, RCU must make do with a sub-100-microsecond real-time latency
+budget.
+In fact, on smaller systems with the -rt patchset, the Linux kernel
+provides sub-20-microsecond real-time latencies for the whole kernel,
+including RCU.
+RCU's scalability and latency must therefore be sufficient for
+these sorts of configurations.
+To my surprise, the sub-100-microsecond real-time latency budget
+<a href="http://www.rdrop.com/users/paulmck/realtime/paper/bigrt.2013.01.31a.LCA.pdf">
+applies to even the largest systems [PDF]</a>,
+up to and including systems with 4096 CPUs.
+This real-time requirement motivated the grace-period kthread, which
+also simplified handling of a number of race conditions.
+
+<p>
+RCU must avoid degrading real-time response for CPU-bound threads, whether
+executing in usermode (which is one use case for
+<tt>CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y</tt>) or in the kernel.
+That said, CPU-bound loops in the kernel must execute
+<tt>cond_resched()</tt> at least once per few tens of milliseconds
+in order to avoid receiving an IPI from RCU.
+
+<p>
+Finally, RCU's status as a synchronization primitive means that
+any RCU failure can result in arbitrary memory corruption that can be
+extremely difficult to debug.
+This means that RCU must be extremely reliable, which in
+practice also means that RCU must have an aggressive stress-test
+suite.
+This stress-test suite is called <tt>rcutorture</tt>.
+
+<p>
+Although the need for <tt>rcutorture</tt> was no surprise,
+the current immense popularity of the Linux kernel is posing
+interesting&mdash;and perhaps unprecedented&mdash;validation
+challenges.
+To see this, keep in mind that there are well over one billion
+instances of the Linux kernel running today, given Android
+smartphones, Linux-powered televisions, and servers.
+This number can be expected to increase sharply with the advent of
+the celebrated Internet of Things.
+
+<p>
+Suppose that RCU contains a race condition that manifests on average
+once per million years of runtime.
+This bug will be occurring about three times per <i>day</i> across
+the installed base.
+RCU could simply hide behind hardware error rates, given that no one
+should really expect their smartphone to last for a million years.
+However, anyone taking too much comfort from this thought should
+consider the fact that in most jurisdictions, a successful multi-year
+test of a given mechanism, which might include a Linux kernel,
+suffices for a number of types of safety-critical certifications.
+In fact, rumor has it that the Linux kernel is already being used
+in production for safety-critical applications.
+I don't know about you, but I would feel quite bad if a bug in RCU
+killed someone.
+Which might explain my recent focus on validation and verification.
+
+<h2><a name="Other RCU Flavors">Other RCU Flavors</a></h2>
+
+<p>
+One of the more surprising things about RCU is that there are now
+no fewer than five <i>flavors</i>, or API families.
+In addition, the primary flavor that has been the sole focus up to
+this point has two different implementations, non-preemptible and
+preemptible.
+The other four flavors are listed below, with requirements for each
+described in a separate section.

+
+<h3><a name="Bottom-Half Flavor">Bottom-Half Flavor</a></h3>
+
+<p>
+The softirq-disable (AKA &ldquo;bottom-half&rdquo;,
+hence the &ldquo;_bh&rdquo; abbreviations)
+flavor of RCU, or <i>RCU-bh</i>, was developed by
+Dipankar Sarma to provide a flavor of RCU that could withstand the
+network-based denial-of-service attacks researched by Robert
+Olsson.
+These attacks placed so much networking load on the system
+that some of the CPUs never exited softirq execution,
+which in turn prevented those CPUs from ever executing a context switch,
+which, in the RCU implementation of that time, prevented grace periods
+from ever ending.
+The result was an out-of-memory condition and a system hang.
+
+<p>
+The solution was the creation of RCU-bh, which does
+<tt>local_bh_disable()</tt>
+across its read-side critical sections, and which uses the transition
+from one type of softirq processing to another as a quiescent state
+in addition to context switch, idle, user mode, and offline.
+This means that RCU-bh grace periods can complete even when some of
+the CPUs execute in softirq indefinitely, thus allowing algorithms
+based on RCU-bh to withstand network-based denial-of-service attacks.
+
+<p>
+Because
+<tt>rcu_read_lock_bh()</tt> and <tt>rcu_read_unlock_bh()</tt>
+disable and re-enable softirq handlers, any attempt to start a softirq
+handlers during the
+RCU-bh read-side critical section will be deferred.
+In this case, <tt>rcu_read_unlock_bh()</tt>
+will invoke softirq processing, which can take considerable time.
+One can of course argue that this softirq overhead should be associated
+with the code following the RCU-bh read-side critical section rather
+than <tt>rcu_read_unlock_bh()</tt>, but the fact
+is that most profiling tools cannot be expected to make this sort
+of fine distinction.
+For example, suppose that a three-millisecond-long RCU-bh read-side
+critical section executes during a time of heavy networking load.
+There will very likely be an attempt to invoke at least one softirq
+handler during that three milliseconds, but any such invocation will
+be delayed until the time of the <tt>rcu_read_unlock_bh()</tt>.
+This can of course make it appear at first glance as if
+<tt>rcu_read_unlock_bh()</tt> was executing very slowly.
+
+<p>
+The

+
+<h3><a name="Sched Flavor">Sched Flavor</a></h3>
+
+<p>
+Before preemptible RCU, waiting for an RCU grace period had the
+side effect of also waiting for all pre-existing interrupt
+and NMI handlers.
+However, there are legitimate preemptible-RCU implementations that
+do not have this property, given that any point in the code outside
+of an RCU read-side critical section can be a quiescent state.
+Therefore, <i>RCU-sched</i> was created, which follows &ldquo;classic&rdquo;
+RCU in that an RCU-sched grace period waits for for pre-existing
+interrupt and NMI handlers.
+In kernels built with <tt>CONFIG_PREEMPT=n</tt>, the RCU and RCU-sched
+APIs have identical implementations, while kernels built with
+<tt>CONFIG_PREEMPT=y</tt> provide a separate implementation for each.
+
+<p>
+Note well that in <tt>CONFIG_PREEMPT=y</tt> kernels,
+<tt>rcu_read_lock_sched()</tt> and <tt>rcu_read_unlock_sched()</tt>
+disable and re-enable preemption, respectively.
+This means that if there was a preemption attempt during the
+RCU-sched read-side critical section, <tt>rcu_read_unlock_sched()</tt>
+will enter the scheduler, with all the latency and overhead entailed.
+Just as with <tt>rcu_read_unlock_bh()</tt>, this can make it look
+as if <tt>rcu_read_unlock_sched()</tt> was executing very slowly.
+However, the highest-priority task won't be preempted, so that task
+will enjoy low-overhead <tt>rcu_read_unlock_sched()</tt> invocations.
+
+<p>
+The
+<a href="https://lwn.net/Articles/609973/#RCU Per-Flavor API Table">RCU-sched API</a>

+<tt>local_irq_save()</tt> and <tt>local_irq_restore()</tt>,

+
+<h3><a name="Sleepable RCU">Sleepable RCU</a></h3>
+
+<p>
+For well over a decade, someone saying &ldquo;I need to block within
+an RCU read-side critical section&rdquo; was a reliable indication
+that this someone did not understand RCU.
+After all, if you are always blocking in an RCU read-side critical
+section, you can probably afford to use a higher-overhead synchronization
+mechanism.
+However, that changed with the advent of the Linux kernel's notifiers,
+whose RCU read-side critical
+sections almost never sleep, but sometimes need to.
+This resulted in the introduction of
+<a href="https://lwn.net/Articles/202847/">sleepable RCU</a>,
+or <i>SRCU</i>.
+
+<p>
+SRCU allows different domains to be defined, with each such domain
+defined by an instance of an <tt>srcu_struct</tt> structure.
+A pointer to this structure must be passed in to each SRCU function,
+for example, <tt>synchronize_srcu(&amp;ss)</tt>, where
+<tt>ss</tt> is the <tt>srcu_struct</tt> structure.
+The key benefit of these domains is that a slow SRCU reader in one
+domain does not delay an SRCU grace period in some other domain.
+That said, one consequence of these domains is that read-side code
+must pass a &ldquo;cookie&rdquo; from <tt>srcu_read_lock()</tt>
+to <tt>srcu_read_unlock()</tt>, for example, as follows:
+
+<blockquote>
+<pre>
+ 1 int idx;
+ 2
+ 3 idx = srcu_read_lock(&amp;ss);
+ 4 do_something();
+ 5 srcu_read_unlock(&amp;ss, idx);
+</pre>
+</blockquote>
+
+<p>
+As noted above, it is legal to block within SRCU read-side critical sections,
+however, with great power comes great responsibility.
+If you block forever in one of a given domain's SRCU read-side critical
+sections, then that domain's grace periods will also be blocked forever.
+Of course, one good way to block forever is to deadlock, which can
+happen if any operation in a given domain's SRCU read-side critical
+section can block waiting, either directly or indirectly, for that domain's
+grace period to elapse.
+For example, this results in a self-deadlock:
+
+<blockquote>
+<pre>
+ 1 int idx;
+ 2
+ 3 idx = srcu_read_lock(&amp;ss);
+ 4 do_something();
+ 5 synchronize_srcu(&amp;ss);
+ 6 srcu_read_unlock(&amp;ss, idx);
+</pre>
+</blockquote>
+
+<p>
+However, if line&nbsp;5 acquired a mutex that was held across
+a <tt>synchronize_srcu()</tt> for domain <tt>ss</tt>,
+deadlock would still be possible.
+Furthermore, if line&nbsp;5 acquired a mutex that was held across
+a <tt>synchronize_srcu()</tt> for some other domain <tt>ss1</tt>,
+and if an <tt>ss1</tt>-domain SRCU read-side critical section
+acquired another mutex that was held across as <tt>ss</tt>-domain
+<tt>synchronize_srcu()</tt>,
+deadlock would again be possible.
+Such a deadlock cycle could extend across an arbitrarily large number
+of different SRCU domains.
+Again, with great power comes great responsibility.
+
+<p>
+Unlike the other RCU flavors, SRCU read-side critical sections can
+run on idle and even offline CPUs.
+This ability requires that <tt>srcu_read_lock()</tt> and
+<tt>srcu_read_unlock()</tt> contain memory barriers, which means
+that SRCU readers will run a bit slower than would RCU readers.
+It also motivates the <tt>smp_mb__after_srcu_read_unlock()</tt>
+API, which, in combination with <tt>srcu_read_unlock()</tt>,
+guarantees a full memory barrier.
+
+<p>
+Also unlike other RCU flavors, SRCU's callbacks-wait function
+<tt>srcu_barrier()</tt> may be invoked from CPU-hotplug notifiers,
+though this is not necessarily a good idea.
+The reason that this is possible is that SRCU is insensitive
+to whether or not a CPU is online, which means that <tt>srcu_barrier()</tt>
+need not exclude CPU-hotplug operations.
+
+<p>
+SRCU also differs from other RCU flavors in that SRCU's expedited and
+non-expedited grace periods are implemented by the same mechanism.
+This means that in the current SRCU implementation, expediting a
+future grace period has the side effect of expediting all prior
+grace periods that have not yet completed.
+(But please note that this is a property of the current implementation,
+not necessarily of future implementations.)
+In addition, if SRCU has been idle for longer than the interval
+specified by the <tt>srcutree.exp_holdoff</tt> kernel boot parameter
+(25&nbsp;microseconds by default),
+and if a <tt>synchronize_srcu()</tt> invocation ends this idle period,
+that invocation will be automatically expedited.
+
+<p>
+As of v4.12, SRCU's callbacks are maintained per-CPU, eliminating

+Although this will allow users to put much heavier stress on

+So if you are posting (say) 10,000 SRCU callbacks per second per CPU,
+you are probably totally OK, but if you intend to post (say) 1,000,000
+SRCU callbacks per second per CPU, please run some tests first.
+SRCU just might need a few adjustment to deal with that sort of load.
+Of course, your mileage may vary based on the speed of your CPUs and
+the size of your memory.

+Some forms of tracing use &ldquo;trampolines&rdquo; to handle the
+binary rewriting required to install different types of probes.
+It would be good to be able to free old trampolines, which sounds
+like a job for some form of RCU.
+However, because it is necessary to be able to install a trace
+anywhere in the code, it is not possible to use read-side markers
+such as <tt>rcu_read_lock()</tt> and <tt>rcu_read_unlock()</tt>.
+In addition, it does not work to have these markers in the trampoline
+itself, because there would need to be instructions following
+<tt>rcu_read_unlock()</tt>.
+Although <tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt> would guarantee that execution
+reached the <tt>rcu_read_unlock()</tt>, it would not be able to
+guarantee that execution had completely left the trampoline.
+
+<p>
+The solution, in the form of
+<a href="https://lwn.net/Articles/607117/"><i>Tasks RCU</i></a>,
+is to have implicit
+read-side critical sections that are delimited by voluntary context
+switches, that is, calls to <tt>schedule()</tt>,
+<tt>cond_resched()</tt>, and
+<tt>synchronize_rcu_tasks()</tt>.
+In addition, transitions to and from userspace execution also delimit

+
+<p>
+The tasks-RCU API is quite compact, consisting only of

+<h3><a name="Waiting for Multiple Grace Periods">
+Waiting for Multiple Grace Periods</a></h3>
+
+<p>
+Perhaps you have an RCU protected data structure that is accessed from
+RCU read-side critical sections, from softirq handlers, and from
+hardware interrupt handlers.
+That is three flavors of RCU, the normal flavor, the bottom-half flavor,
+and the sched flavor.
+How to wait for a compound grace period?
+
+<p>
+The best approach is usually to &ldquo;just say no!&rdquo; and
+insert <tt>rcu_read_lock()</tt> and <tt>rcu_read_unlock()</tt>
+around each RCU read-side critical section, regardless of what
+environment it happens to be in.
+But suppose that some of the RCU read-side critical sections are
+on extremely hot code paths, and that use of <tt>CONFIG_PREEMPT=n</tt>
+is not a viable option, so that <tt>rcu_read_lock()</tt> and
+<tt>rcu_read_unlock()</tt> are not free.
+What then?
+
+<p>
+You <i>could</i> wait on all three grace periods in succession, as follows:
+
+<blockquote>
+<pre>
+ 1 synchronize_rcu();
+ 2 synchronize_rcu_bh();
+ 3 synchronize_sched();
+</pre>
+</blockquote>
+
+<p>
+This works, but triples the update-side latency penalty.
+In cases where this is not acceptable, <tt>synchronize_rcu_mult()</tt>
+may be used to wait on all three flavors of grace period concurrently:
+
+<blockquote>
+<pre>
+ 1 synchronize_rcu_mult(call_rcu, call_rcu_bh, call_rcu_sched);
+</pre>
+</blockquote>
+
+<p>
+But what if it is necessary to also wait on SRCU?
+This can be done as follows:
+
+<blockquote>
+<pre>
+ 1 static void call_my_srcu(struct rcu_head *head,
+ 2        void (*func)(struct rcu_head *head))
+ 3 {
+ 4   call_srcu(&amp;my_srcu, head, func);
+ 5 }
+ 6
+ 7 synchronize_rcu_mult(call_rcu, call_rcu_bh, call_rcu_sched, call_my_srcu);
+</pre>
+</blockquote>
+
+<p>
+If you needed to wait on multiple different flavors of SRCU
+(but why???), you would need to create a wrapper function resembling
+<tt>call_my_srcu()</tt> for each SRCU flavor.
+
+<table>
+<tr><th>&nbsp;</th></tr>
+<tr><th align="left">Quick Quiz:</th></tr>
+<tr><td>
+	But what if I need to wait for multiple RCU flavors, but I also need
+	the grace periods to be expedited?

+	If you are using expedited grace periods, there should be less penalty

+</font></td></tr>
+<tr><td>&nbsp;</td></tr>
+</table>
+
+<p>
+Again, it is usually better to adjust the RCU read-side critical sections
+to use a single flavor of RCU, but when this is not feasible, you can use
+<tt>synchronize_rcu_mult()</tt>.
+
+<h2><a name="Possible Future Changes">Possible Future Changes</a></h2>
+
+<p>
+One of the tricks that RCU uses to attain update-side scalability is
+to increase grace-period latency with increasing numbers of CPUs.
+If this becomes a serious problem, it will be necessary to rework the
+grace-period state machine so as to avoid the need for the additional
+latency.
+
+<p>
+Expedited grace periods scan the CPUs, so their latency and overhead
+increases with increasing numbers of CPUs.
+If this becomes a serious problem on large systems, it will be necessary
+to do some redesign to avoid this scalability problem.
+
+<p>
+RCU disables CPU hotplug in a few places, perhaps most notably in the
+<tt>rcu_barrier()</tt> operations.
+If there is a strong reason to use <tt>rcu_barrier()</tt> in CPU-hotplug
+notifiers, it will be necessary to avoid disabling CPU hotplug.
+This would introduce some complexity, so there had better be a <i>very</i>
+good reason.
+
+<p>
+The tradeoff between grace-period latency on the one hand and interruptions
+of other CPUs on the other hand may need to be re-examined.
+The desire is of course for zero grace-period latency as well as zero
+interprocessor interrupts undertaken during an expedited grace period
+operation.
+While this ideal is unlikely to be achievable, it is quite possible that
+further improvements can be made.
+
+<p>
+The multiprocessor implementations of RCU use a combining tree that
+groups CPUs so as to reduce lock contention and increase cache locality.
+However, this combining tree does not spread its memory across NUMA
+nodes nor does it align the CPU groups with hardware features such
+as sockets or cores.
+Such spreading and alignment is currently believed to be unnecessary
+because the hotpath read-side primitives do not access the combining
+tree, nor does <tt>call_rcu()</tt> in the common case.
+If you believe that your architecture needs such spreading and alignment,
+then your architecture should also benefit from the
+<tt>rcutree.rcu_fanout_leaf</tt> boot parameter, which can be set
+to the number of CPUs in a socket, NUMA node, or whatever.
+If the number of CPUs is too large, use a fraction of the number of
+CPUs.
+If the number of CPUs is a large prime number, well, that certainly
+is an &ldquo;interesting&rdquo; architectural choice!
+More flexible arrangements might be considered, but only if
+<tt>rcutree.rcu_fanout_leaf</tt> has proven inadequate, and only
+if the inadequacy has been demonstrated by a carefully run and
+realistic system-level workload.
+
+<p>
+Please note that arrangements that require RCU to remap CPU numbers will
+require extremely good demonstration of need and full exploration of
+alternatives.
+
+<p>
+There is an embarrassingly large number of flavors of RCU, and this
+number has been increasing over time.
+Perhaps it will be possible to combine some at some future date.
+
+<p>
+RCU's various kthreads are reasonably recent additions.
+It is quite likely that adjustments will be required to more gracefully
+handle extreme loads.
+It might also be necessary to be able to relate CPU utilization by
+RCU's kthreads and softirq handlers to the code that instigated this
+CPU utilization.
+For example, RCU callback overhead might be charged back to the
+originating <tt>call_rcu()</tt> instance, though probably not
+in production kernels.

+Using RCU to Protect Dynamic NMI Handlers
+
+
+Although RCU is usually used to protect read-mostly data structures,
+it is possible to use RCU to provide dynamic non-maskable interrupt
+handlers, as well as dynamic irq handlers.  This document describes
+how to do this, drawing loosely from Zwane Mwaikambo's NMI-timer
+work in "arch/x86/oprofile/nmi_timer_int.c" and in
+"arch/x86/kernel/traps.c".
+
+The relevant pieces of code are listed below, each followed by a
+brief explanation.
+
+	static int dummy_nmi_callback(struct pt_regs *regs, int cpu)
+	{
+		return 0;
+	}
+
+The dummy_nmi_callback() function is a "dummy" NMI handler that does
+nothing, but returns zero, thus saying that it did nothing, allowing
+the NMI handler to take the default machine-specific action.
+
+	static nmi_callback_t nmi_callback = dummy_nmi_callback;
+
+This nmi_callback variable is a global function pointer to the current
+NMI handler.
+
+	void do_nmi(struct pt_regs * regs, long error_code)
+	{
+		int cpu;
+
+		nmi_enter();
+
+		cpu = smp_processor_id();
+		++nmi_count(cpu);
+
+		if (!rcu_dereference_sched(nmi_callback)(regs, cpu))
+			default_do_nmi(regs);
+
+		nmi_exit();
+	}
+
+The do_nmi() function processes each NMI.  It first disables preemption
+in the same way that a hardware irq would, then increments the per-CPU
+count of NMIs.  It then invokes the NMI handler stored in the nmi_callback
+function pointer.  If this handler returns zero, do_nmi() invokes the
+default_do_nmi() function to handle a machine-specific NMI.  Finally,
+preemption is restored.
+
+In theory, rcu_dereference_sched() is not needed, since this code runs
+only on i386, which in theory does not need rcu_dereference_sched()
+anyway.  However, in practice it is a good documentation aid, particularly
+for anyone attempting to do something similar on Alpha or on systems
+with aggressive optimizing compilers.
+
+Quick Quiz:  Why might the rcu_dereference_sched() be necessary on Alpha,
+	     given that the code referenced by the pointer is read-only?
+
+
+Back to the discussion of NMI and RCU...
+
+	void set_nmi_callback(nmi_callback_t callback)
+	{
+		rcu_assign_pointer(nmi_callback, callback);
+	}
+
+The set_nmi_callback() function registers an NMI handler.  Note that any
+data that is to be used by the callback must be initialized up -before-
+the call to set_nmi_callback().  On architectures that do not order
+writes, the rcu_assign_pointer() ensures that the NMI handler sees the
+initialized values.
+
+	void unset_nmi_callback(void)
+	{
+		rcu_assign_pointer(nmi_callback, dummy_nmi_callback);
+	}
+
+This function unregisters an NMI handler, restoring the original
+dummy_nmi_handler().  However, there may well be an NMI handler
+currently executing on some other CPU.  We therefore cannot free
+up any data structures used by the old NMI handler until execution
+of it completes on all other CPUs.
+
+One way to accomplish this is via synchronize_sched(), perhaps as
+follows:
+
+	unset_nmi_callback();
+	synchronize_sched();
+	kfree(my_nmi_data);
+
+This works because synchronize_sched() blocks until all CPUs complete
+any preemption-disabled segments of code that they were executing.
+Since NMI handlers disable preemption, synchronize_sched() is guaranteed
+not to return until all ongoing NMI handlers exit.  It is therefore safe
+to free up the handler's data as soon as synchronize_sched() returns.
+
+Important note: for this to work, the architecture in question must
+invoke nmi_enter() and nmi_exit() on NMI entry and exit, respectively.
+
+
+Answer to Quick Quiz
+
+	Why might the rcu_dereference_sched() be necessary on Alpha, given
+	that the code referenced by the pointer is read-only?
+
+	Answer: The caller to set_nmi_callback() might well have
+		initialized some data that is to be used by the new NMI
+		handler.  In this case, the rcu_dereference_sched() would
+		be needed, because otherwise a CPU that received an NMI
+		just after the new handler was set might see the pointer
+		to the new NMI handler, but the old pre-initialized
+		version of the handler's data.
+
+		This same sad story can happen on other CPUs when using
+		a compiler with aggressive pointer-value speculation
+		optimizations.
+
+		More important, the rcu_dereference_sched() makes it
+		clear to someone reading the code that the pointer is
+		being protected by RCU-sched.

+Read the Fscking Papers!
+
+
+This document describes RCU-related publications, and is followed by
+the corresponding bibtex entries.  A number of the publications may
+be found at http://www.rdrop.com/users/paulmck/RCU/.  For others, browsers
+and search engines will usually find what you are looking for.
+
+The first thing resembling RCU was published in 1980, when Kung and Lehman
+[Kung80] recommended use of a garbage collector to defer destruction
+of nodes in a parallel binary search tree in order to simplify its
+implementation.  This works well in environments that have garbage
+collectors, but most production garbage collectors incur significant
+overhead.
+
+In 1982, Manber and Ladner [Manber82,Manber84] recommended deferring
+destruction until all threads running at that time have terminated, again
+for a parallel binary search tree.  This approach works well in systems
+with short-lived threads, such as the K42 research operating system.
+However, Linux has long-lived tasks, so more is needed.
+
+In 1986, Hennessy, Osisek, and Seigh [Hennessy89] introduced passive
+serialization, which is an RCU-like mechanism that relies on the presence
+of "quiescent states" in the VM/XA hypervisor that are guaranteed not
+to be referencing the data structure.  However, this mechanism was not
+optimized for modern computer systems, which is not surprising given
+that these overheads were not so expensive in the mid-80s.  Nonetheless,
+passive serialization appears to be the first deferred-destruction
+mechanism to be used in production.  Furthermore, the relevant patent
+has lapsed, so this approach may be used in non-GPL software, if desired.
+(In contrast, implementation of RCU is permitted only in software licensed
+under either GPL or LGPL.  Sorry!!!)
+
+In 1987, Rashid et al. described lazy TLB-flush [RichardRashid87a].
+At first glance, this has nothing to do with RCU, but nevertheless
+this paper helped inspire the update-side batching used in the later
+RCU implementation in DYNIX/ptx.  In 1988, Barbara Liskov published
+a description of Argus that noted that use of out-of-date values can
+be tolerated in some situations.  Thus, this paper provides some early
+theoretical justification for use of stale data.
+
+In 1990, Pugh [Pugh90] noted that explicitly tracking which threads
+were reading a given data structure permitted deferred free to operate
+in the presence of non-terminating threads.  However, this explicit
+tracking imposes significant read-side overhead, which is undesirable
+in read-mostly situations.  This algorithm does take pains to avoid
+write-side contention and parallelize the other write-side overheads by
+providing a fine-grained locking design, however, it would be interesting
+to see how much of the performance advantage reported in 1990 remains
+today.
+
+At about this same time, Andrews [Andrews91textbook] described ``chaotic
+relaxation'', where the normal barriers between successive iterations
+of convergent numerical algorithms are relaxed, so that iteration $n$
+might use data from iteration $n-1$ or even $n-2$.  This introduces
+error, which typically slows convergence and thus increases the number of
+iterations required.  However, this increase is sometimes more than made
+up for by a reduction in the number of expensive barrier operations,
+which are otherwise required to synchronize the threads at the end
+of each iteration.  Unfortunately, chaotic relaxation requires highly
+structured data, such as the matrices used in scientific programs, and
+is thus inapplicable to most data structures in operating-system kernels.
+
+In 1992, Henry (now Alexia) Massalin completed a dissertation advising
+parallel programmers to defer processing when feasible to simplify
+synchronization [HMassalinPhD].  RCU makes extremely heavy use of
+this advice.
+
+In 1993, Jacobson [Jacobson93] verbally described what is perhaps the
+simplest deferred-free technique: simply waiting a fixed amount of time
+before freeing blocks awaiting deferred free.  Jacobson did not describe
+any write-side changes he might have made in this work using SGI's Irix
+kernel.  Aju John published a similar technique in 1995 [AjuJohn95].
+This works well if there is a well-defined upper bound on the length of
+time that reading threads can hold references, as there might well be in
+hard real-time systems.  However, if this time is exceeded, perhaps due
+to preemption, excessive interrupts, or larger-than-anticipated load,
+memory corruption can ensue, with no reasonable means of diagnosis.
+Jacobson's technique is therefore inappropriate for use in production
+operating-system kernels, except when such kernels can provide hard
+real-time response guarantees for all operations.
+
+Also in 1995, Pu et al. [Pu95a] applied a technique similar to that of Pugh's
+read-side-tracking to permit replugging of algorithms within a commercial
+Unix operating system.  However, this replugging permitted only a single
+reader at a time.  The following year, this same group of researchers
+extended their technique to allow for multiple readers [Cowan96a].
+Their approach requires memory barriers (and thus pipeline stalls),
+but reduces memory latency, contention, and locking overheads.
+
+1995 also saw the first publication of DYNIX/ptx's RCU mechanism
+[Slingwine95], which was optimized for modern CPU architectures,
+and was successfully applied to a number of situations within the
+DYNIX/ptx kernel.  The corresponding conference paper appeared in 1998
+[McKenney98].
+
+In 1999, the Tornado and K42 groups described their "generations"
+mechanism, which is quite similar to RCU [Gamsa99].  These operating
+systems made pervasive use of RCU in place of "existence locks", which
+greatly simplifies locking hierarchies and helps avoid deadlocks.
+
+The year 2000 saw an email exchange that would likely have
+led to yet another independent invention of something like RCU
+[RustyRussell2000a,RustyRussell2000b].  Instead, 2001 saw the first
+RCU presentation involving Linux [McKenney01a] at OLS.  The resulting
+abundance of RCU patches was presented the following year [McKenney02a],
+and use of RCU in dcache was first described that same year [Linder02a].
+
+Also in 2002, Michael [Michael02b,Michael02a] presented "hazard-pointer"
+techniques that defer the destruction of data structures to simplify
+non-blocking synchronization (wait-free synchronization, lock-free
+synchronization, and obstruction-free synchronization are all examples of
+non-blocking synchronization).  The corresponding journal article appeared
+in 2004 [MagedMichael04a].  This technique eliminates locking, reduces
+contention, reduces memory latency for readers, and parallelizes pipeline
+stalls and memory latency for writers.  However, these techniques still
+impose significant read-side overhead in the form of memory barriers.
+Researchers at Sun worked along similar lines in the same timeframe
+[HerlihyLM02].  These techniques can be thought of as inside-out reference
+counts, where the count is represented by the number of hazard pointers
+referencing a given data structure rather than the more conventional
+counter field within the data structure itself.  The key advantage
+of inside-out reference counts is that they can be stored in immortal
+variables, thus allowing races between access and deletion to be avoided.
+
+By the same token, RCU can be thought of as a "bulk reference count",
+where some form of reference counter covers all reference by a given CPU
+or thread during a set timeframe.  This timeframe is related to, but
+not necessarily exactly the same as, an RCU grace period.  In classic
+RCU, the reference counter is the per-CPU bit in the "bitmask" field,
+and each such bit covers all references that might have been made by
+the corresponding CPU during the prior grace period.  Of course, RCU
+can be thought of in other terms as well.
+
+In 2003, the K42 group described how RCU could be used to create
+hot-pluggable implementations of operating-system functions [Appavoo03a].
+Later that year saw a paper describing an RCU implementation
+of System V IPC [Arcangeli03] (following up on a suggestion by
+Hugh Dickins [Dickins02a] and an implementation by Mingming Cao
+[MingmingCao2002IPCRCU]), and an introduction to RCU in Linux Journal
+[McKenney03a].
+
+2004 has seen a Linux-Journal article on use of RCU in dcache
+[McKenney04a], a performance comparison of locking to RCU on several
+different CPUs [McKenney04b], a dissertation describing use of RCU in a
+number of operating-system kernels [PaulEdwardMcKenneyPhD], a paper
+describing how to make RCU safe for soft-realtime applications [Sarma04c],
+and a paper describing SELinux performance with RCU [JamesMorris04b].
+
+2005 brought further adaptation of RCU to realtime use, permitting
+preemption of RCU realtime critical sections [PaulMcKenney05a,
+PaulMcKenney05b].
+
+2006 saw the first best-paper award for an RCU paper [ThomasEHart2006a],
+as well as further work on efficient implementations of preemptible
+RCU [PaulEMcKenney2006b], but priority-boosting of RCU read-side critical
+sections proved elusive.  An RCU implementation permitting general
+blocking in read-side critical sections appeared [PaulEMcKenney2006c],
+Robert Olsson described an RCU-protected trie-hash combination
+[RobertOlsson2006a].
+
+2007 saw the journal version of the award-winning RCU paper from 2006
+[ThomasEHart2007a], as well as a paper demonstrating use of Promela
+and Spin to mechanically verify an optimization to Oleg Nesterov's
+QRCU [PaulEMcKenney2007QRCUspin], a design document describing
+preemptible RCU [PaulEMcKenney2007PreemptibleRCU], and the three-part
+LWN "What is RCU?" series [PaulEMcKenney2007WhatIsRCUFundamentally,
+PaulEMcKenney2008WhatIsRCUUsage, and PaulEMcKenney2008WhatIsRCUAPI].
+
+2008 saw a journal paper on real-time RCU [DinakarGuniguntala2008IBMSysJ],
+a history of how Linux changed RCU more than RCU changed Linux
+[PaulEMcKenney2008RCUOSR], and a design overview of hierarchical RCU
+[PaulEMcKenney2008HierarchicalRCU].
+
+2009 introduced user-level RCU algorithms [PaulEMcKenney2009MaliciousURCU],
+which Mathieu Desnoyers is now maintaining [MathieuDesnoyers2009URCU]
+[MathieuDesnoyersPhD].  TINY_RCU [PaulEMcKenney2009BloatWatchRCU] made
+its appearance, as did expedited RCU [PaulEMcKenney2009expeditedRCU].
+The problem of resizable RCU-protected hash tables may now be on a path
+to a solution [JoshTriplett2009RPHash].  A few academic researchers are now
+using RCU to solve their parallel problems [HariKannan2009DynamicAnalysisRCU].
+
+2010 produced a simpler preemptible-RCU implementation
+based on TREE_RCU [PaulEMcKenney2010SimpleOptRCU], lockdep-RCU
+[PaulEMcKenney2010LockdepRCU], another resizable RCU-protected hash
+table [HerbertXu2010RCUResizeHash] (this one consuming more memory,
+but allowing arbitrary changes in hash function, as required for DoS
+avoidance in the networking code), realization of the 2009 RCU-protected
+hash table with atomic node move [JoshTriplett2010RPHash], an update on
+the RCU API [PaulEMcKenney2010RCUAPI].
+
+2011 marked the inclusion of Nick Piggin's fully lockless dentry search
+[LinusTorvalds2011Linux2:6:38:rc1:NPigginVFS], an RCU-protected red-black
+tree using software transactional memory to protect concurrent updates
+(strange, but true!) [PhilHoward2011RCUTMRBTree], yet another variant of
+RCU-protected resizable hash tables [Triplett:2011:RPHash], the 3.0 RCU
+trainwreck [PaulEMcKenney2011RCU3.0trainwreck], and Neil Brown's "Meet the
+Lockers" LWN article [NeilBrown2011MeetTheLockers].  Some academic
+work looked at debugging uses of RCU [Seyster:2011:RFA:2075416.2075425].

+In 2012, Josh Triplett received his Ph.D. with his dissertation
+covering RCU-protected resizable hash tables and the relationship
+between memory barriers and read-side traversal order:  If the updater
+is making changes in the opposite direction from the read-side traveral
+order, the updater need only execute a memory-barrier instruction,
+but if in the same direction, the updater needs to wait for a grace
+period between the individual updates [JoshTriplettPhD].  Also in 2012,
+after seventeen years of attempts, an RCU paper made it into a top-flight
+academic journal, IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems
+[MathieuDesnoyers2012URCU].  A group of researchers in Spain applied
+user-level RCU to crowd simulation [GuillermoVigueras2012RCUCrowd], and
+another group of researchers in Europe produced a formal description of
+RCU based on separation logic [AlexeyGotsman2012VerifyGraceExtended],
+which was published in the 2013 European Symposium on Programming
+[AlexeyGotsman2013ESOPRCU].

+RCU on Uniprocessor Systems
+
+
+A common misconception is that, on UP systems, the call_rcu() primitive
+may immediately invoke its function.  The basis of this misconception
+is that since there is only one CPU, it should not be necessary to
+wait for anything else to get done, since there are no other CPUs for
+anything else to be happening on.  Although this approach will -sort- -of-
+work a surprising amount of the time, it is a very bad idea in general.
+This document presents three examples that demonstrate exactly how bad
+an idea this is.
+
+
+Example 1: softirq Suicide
+
+Suppose that an RCU-based algorithm scans a linked list containing
+elements A, B, and C in process context, and can delete elements from
+this same list in softirq context.  Suppose that the process-context scan
+is referencing element B when it is interrupted by softirq processing,
+which deletes element B, and then invokes call_rcu() to free element B
+after a grace period.
+
+Now, if call_rcu() were to directly invoke its arguments, then upon return
+from softirq, the list scan would find itself referencing a newly freed
+element B.  This situation can greatly decrease the life expectancy of
+your kernel.
+
+This same problem can occur if call_rcu() is invoked from a hardware
+interrupt handler.
+
+
+Example 2: Function-Call Fatality
+
+Of course, one could avert the suicide described in the preceding example
+by having call_rcu() directly invoke its arguments only if it was called
+from process context.  However, this can fail in a similar manner.
+
+Suppose that an RCU-based algorithm again scans a linked list containing
+elements A, B, and C in process contexts, but that it invokes a function
+on each element as it is scanned.  Suppose further that this function
+deletes element B from the list, then passes it to call_rcu() for deferred
+freeing.  This may be a bit unconventional, but it is perfectly legal
+RCU usage, since call_rcu() must wait for a grace period to elapse.
+Therefore, in this case, allowing call_rcu() to immediately invoke
+its arguments would cause it to fail to make the fundamental guarantee
+underlying RCU, namely that call_rcu() defers invoking its arguments until
+all RCU read-side critical sections currently executing have completed.
+
+Quick Quiz #1: why is it -not- legal to invoke synchronize_rcu() in
+	this case?
+
+
+Example 3: Death by Deadlock
+
+Suppose that call_rcu() is invoked while holding a lock, and that the
+callback function must acquire this same lock.  In this case, if
+call_rcu() were to directly invoke the callback, the result would
+be self-deadlock.
+
+In some cases, it would possible to restructure to code so that
+the call_rcu() is delayed until after the lock is released.  However,
+there are cases where this can be quite ugly:
+
+1.	If a number of items need to be passed to call_rcu() within
+	the same critical section, then the code would need to create
+	a list of them, then traverse the list once the lock was
+	released.
+
+2.	In some cases, the lock will be held across some kernel API,
+	so that delaying the call_rcu() until the lock is released
+	requires that the data item be passed up via a common API.
+	It is far better to guarantee that callbacks are invoked
+	with no locks held than to have to modify such APIs to allow
+	arbitrary data items to be passed back up through them.
+
+If call_rcu() directly invokes the callback, painful locking restrictions
+or API changes would be required.
+
+Quick Quiz #2: What locking restriction must RCU callbacks respect?
+
+
+Summary
+
+Permitting call_rcu() to immediately invoke its arguments breaks RCU,
+even on a UP system.  So do not do it!  Even on a UP system, the RCU
+infrastructure -must- respect grace periods, and -must- invoke callbacks
+from a known environment in which no locks are held.
+
+It -is- safe for synchronize_sched() and synchronize_rcu_bh() to return
+immediately on an UP system.  It is also safe for synchronize_rcu()
+to return immediately on UP systems, except when running preemptable
+RCU.
+
+Quick Quiz #3: Why can't synchronize_rcu() return immediately on
+	UP systems running preemptable RCU?
+
+
+Answer to Quick Quiz #1:
+	Why is it -not- legal to invoke synchronize_rcu() in this case?
+
+	Because the calling function is scanning an RCU-protected linked
+	list, and is therefore within an RCU read-side critical section.
+	Therefore, the called function has been invoked within an RCU
+	read-side critical section, and is not permitted to block.
+
+Answer to Quick Quiz #2:
+	What locking restriction must RCU callbacks respect?
+
+	Any lock that is acquired within an RCU callback must be
+	acquired elsewhere using an _irq variant of the spinlock
+	primitive.  For example, if "mylock" is acquired by an
+	RCU callback, then a process-context acquisition of this
+	lock must use something like spin_lock_irqsave() to
+	acquire the lock.
+
+	If the process-context code were to simply use spin_lock(),
+	then, since RCU callbacks can be invoked from softirq context,
+	the callback might be called from a softirq that interrupted
+	the process-context critical section.  This would result in
+	self-deadlock.
+
+	This restriction might seem gratuitous, since very few RCU
+	callbacks acquire locks directly.  However, a great many RCU
+	callbacks do acquire locks -indirectly-, for example, via
+	the kfree() primitive.
+
+Answer to Quick Quiz #3:
+	Why can't synchronize_rcu() return immediately on UP systems
+	running preemptable RCU?
+
+	Because some other task might have been preempted in the middle
+	of an RCU read-side critical section.  If synchronize_rcu()
+	simply immediately returned, it would prematurely signal the
+	end of the grace period, which would come as a nasty shock to
+	that other thread when it started running again.

+Using RCU to Protect Read-Mostly Arrays
+
+
+Although RCU is more commonly used to protect linked lists, it can
+also be used to protect arrays.  Three situations are as follows:
+
+1.  Hash Tables
+
+2.  Static Arrays
+
+3.  Resizeable Arrays
+
+Each of these three situations involves an RCU-protected pointer to an
+array that is separately indexed.  It might be tempting to consider use
+of RCU to instead protect the index into an array, however, this use
+case is -not- supported.  The problem with RCU-protected indexes into
+arrays is that compilers can play way too many optimization games with
+integers, which means that the rules governing handling of these indexes
+are far more trouble than they are worth.  If RCU-protected indexes into
+arrays prove to be particularly valuable (which they have not thus far),
+explicit cooperation from the compiler will be required to permit them
+to be safely used.
+
+That aside, each of the three RCU-protected pointer situations are
+described in the following sections.
+
+
+Situation 1: Hash Tables
+
+Hash tables are often implemented as an array, where each array entry
+has a linked-list hash chain.  Each hash chain can be protected by RCU
+as described in the listRCU.txt document.  This approach also applies
+to other array-of-list situations, such as radix trees.
+
+
+Situation 2: Static Arrays
+
+Static arrays, where the data (rather than a pointer to the data) is
+located in each array element, and where the array is never resized,
+have not been used with RCU.  Rik van Riel recommends using seqlock in
+this situation, which would also have minimal read-side overhead as long
+as updates are rare.
+
+Quick Quiz:  Why is it so important that updates be rare when
+	     using seqlock?
+
+
+Situation 3: Resizeable Arrays
+
+Use of RCU for resizeable arrays is demonstrated by the grow_ary()
+function formerly used by the System V IPC code.  The array is used
+to map from semaphore, message-queue, and shared-memory IDs to the data
+structure that represents the corresponding IPC construct.  The grow_ary()
+function does not acquire any locks; instead its caller must hold the
+ids->sem semaphore.
+
+The grow_ary() function, shown below, does some limit checks, allocates a
+new ipc_id_ary, copies the old to the new portion of the new, initializes
+the remainder of the new, updates the ids->entries pointer to point to
+the new array, and invokes ipc_rcu_putref() to free up the old array.
+Note that rcu_assign_pointer() is used to update the ids->entries pointer,
+which includes any memory barriers required on whatever architecture
+you are running on.
+
+	static int grow_ary(struct ipc_ids* ids, int newsize)
+	{
+		struct ipc_id_ary* new;
+		struct ipc_id_ary* old;
+		int i;
+		int size = ids->entries->size;
+
+		if(newsize > IPCMNI)
+			newsize = IPCMNI;
+		if(newsize <= size)
+			return newsize;
+
+		new = ipc_rcu_alloc(sizeof(struct kern_ipc_perm *)*newsize +
+				    sizeof(struct ipc_id_ary));
+		if(new == NULL)
+			return size;
+		new->size = newsize;
+		memcpy(new->p, ids->entries->p,
+		       sizeof(struct kern_ipc_perm *)*size +
+		       sizeof(struct ipc_id_ary));
+		for(i=size;i<newsize;i++) {
+			new->p[i] = NULL;
+		}
+		old = ids->entries;
+
+		/*
+		 * Use rcu_assign_pointer() to make sure the memcpyed
+		 * contents of the new array are visible before the new
+		 * array becomes visible.
+		 */
+		rcu_assign_pointer(ids->entries, new);
+
+		ipc_rcu_putref(old);
+		return newsize;
+	}
+
+The ipc_rcu_putref() function decrements the array's reference count
+and then, if the reference count has dropped to zero, uses call_rcu()
+to free the array after a grace period has elapsed.
+
+The array is traversed by the ipc_lock() function.  This function
+indexes into the array under the protection of rcu_read_lock(),
+using rcu_dereference() to pick up the pointer to the array so
+that it may later safely be dereferenced -- memory barriers are
+required on the Alpha CPU.  Since the size of the array is stored
+with the array itself, there can be no array-size mismatches, so
+a simple check suffices.  The pointer to the structure corresponding
+to the desired IPC object is placed in "out", with NULL indicating
+a non-existent entry.  After acquiring "out->lock", the "out->deleted"
+flag indicates whether the IPC object is in the process of being
+deleted, and, if not, the pointer is returned.
+
+	struct kern_ipc_perm* ipc_lock(struct ipc_ids* ids, int id)
+	{
+		struct kern_ipc_perm* out;
+		int lid = id % SEQ_MULTIPLIER;
+		struct ipc_id_ary* entries;
+
+		rcu_read_lock();
+		entries = rcu_dereference(ids->entries);
+		if(lid >= entries->size) {
+			rcu_read_unlock();
+			return NULL;
+		}
+		out = entries->p[lid];
+		if(out == NULL) {
+			rcu_read_unlock();
+			return NULL;
+		}
+		spin_lock(&out->lock);
+
+		/* ipc_rmid() may have already freed the ID while ipc_lock
+		 * was spinning: here verify that the structure is still valid
+		 */
+		if (out->deleted) {
+			spin_unlock(&out->lock);
+			rcu_read_unlock();
+			return NULL;
+		}
+		return out;
+	}
+
+
+Answer to Quick Quiz:
+
+	The reason that it is important that updates be rare when
+	using seqlock is that frequent updates can livelock readers.
+	One way to avoid this problem is to assign a seqlock for
+	each array entry rather than to the entire array.

+Review Checklist for RCU Patches
+
+
+This document contains a checklist for producing and reviewing patches
+that make use of RCU.  Violating any of the rules listed below will
+result in the same sorts of problems that leaving out a locking primitive
+would cause.  This list is based on experiences reviewing such patches
+over a rather long period of time, but improvements are always welcome!
+
+0.	Is RCU being applied to a read-mostly situation?  If the data
+	structure is updated more than about 10% of the time, then you
+	should strongly consider some other approach, unless detailed
+	performance measurements show that RCU is nonetheless the right
+	tool for the job.  Yes, RCU does reduce read-side overhead by
+	increasing write-side overhead, which is exactly why normal uses
+	of RCU will do much more reading than updating.
+
+	Another exception is where performance is not an issue, and RCU
+	provides a simpler implementation.  An example of this situation
+	is the dynamic NMI code in the Linux 2.6 kernel, at least on
+	architectures where NMIs are rare.
+
+	Yet another exception is where the low real-time latency of RCU's
+	read-side primitives is critically important.
+
+	One final exception is where RCU readers are used to prevent
+	the ABA problem (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ABA_problem)
+	for lockless updates.  This does result in the mildly
+	counter-intuitive situation where rcu_read_lock() and
+	rcu_read_unlock() are used to protect updates, however, this
+	approach provides the same potential simplifications that garbage
+	collectors do.
+
+1.	Does the update code have proper mutual exclusion?
+
+	RCU does allow -readers- to run (almost) naked, but -writers- must
+	still use some sort of mutual exclusion, such as:
+
+	a.	locking,
+	b.	atomic operations, or
+	c.	restricting updates to a single task.
+
+	If you choose #b, be prepared to describe how you have handled
+	memory barriers on weakly ordered machines (pretty much all of
+	them -- even x86 allows later loads to be reordered to precede
+	earlier stores), and be prepared to explain why this added
+	complexity is worthwhile.  If you choose #c, be prepared to
+	explain how this single task does not become a major bottleneck on
+	big multiprocessor machines (for example, if the task is updating
+	information relating to itself that other tasks can read, there
+	by definition can be no bottleneck).  Note that the definition
+	of "large" has changed significantly:  Eight CPUs was "large"
+	in the year 2000, but a hundred CPUs was unremarkable in 2017.
+
+2.	Do the RCU read-side critical sections make proper use of
+	rcu_read_lock() and friends?  These primitives are needed
+	to prevent grace periods from ending prematurely, which
+	could result in data being unceremoniously freed out from
+	under your read-side code, which can greatly increase the
+	actuarial risk of your kernel.
+
+	As a rough rule of thumb, any dereference of an RCU-protected
+	pointer must be covered by rcu_read_lock(), rcu_read_lock_bh(),
+	rcu_read_lock_sched(), or by the appropriate update-side lock.
+	Disabling of preemption can serve as rcu_read_lock_sched(), but
+	is less readable.
+
+	Letting RCU-protected pointers "leak" out of an RCU read-side
+	critical section is every bid as bad as letting them leak out
+	from under a lock.  Unless, of course, you have arranged some
+	other means of protection, such as a lock or a reference count
+	-before- letting them out of the RCU read-side critical section.
+
+3.	Does the update code tolerate concurrent accesses?
+
+	The whole point of RCU is to permit readers to run without
+	any locks or atomic operations.  This means that readers will
+	be running while updates are in progress.  There are a number
+	of ways to handle this concurrency, depending on the situation:
+
+	a.	Use the RCU variants of the list and hlist update
+		primitives to add, remove, and replace elements on
+		an RCU-protected list.	Alternatively, use the other
+		RCU-protected data structures that have been added to
+		the Linux kernel.
+
+		This is almost always the best approach.
+
+	b.	Proceed as in (a) above, but also maintain per-element
+		locks (that are acquired by both readers and writers)
+		that guard per-element state.  Of course, fields that
+		the readers refrain from accessing can be guarded by
+		some other lock acquired only by updaters, if desired.
+
+		This works quite well, also.
+
+	c.	Make updates appear atomic to readers.	For example,
+		pointer updates to properly aligned fields will
+		appear atomic, as will individual atomic primitives.
+		Sequences of operations performed under a lock will -not-
+		appear to be atomic to RCU readers, nor will sequences
+		of multiple atomic primitives.
+
+		This can work, but is starting to get a bit tricky.
+
+	d.	Carefully order the updates and the reads so that
+		readers see valid data at all phases of the update.
+		This is often more difficult than it sounds, especially
+		given modern CPUs' tendency to reorder memory references.
+		One must usually liberally sprinkle memory barriers
+		(smp_wmb(), smp_rmb(), smp_mb()) through the code,
+		making it difficult to understand and to test.
+
+		It is usually better to group the changing data into
+		a separate structure, so that the change may be made
+		to appear atomic by updating a pointer to reference
+		a new structure containing updated values.
+
+4.	Weakly ordered CPUs pose special challenges.  Almost all CPUs
+	are weakly ordered -- even x86 CPUs allow later loads to be
+	reordered to precede earlier stores.  RCU code must take all of
+	the following measures to prevent memory-corruption problems:
+
+	a.	Readers must maintain proper ordering of their memory
+		accesses.  The rcu_dereference() primitive ensures that
+		the CPU picks up the pointer before it picks up the data
+		that the pointer points to.  This really is necessary
+		on Alpha CPUs.	If you don't believe me, see:
+
+			http://www.openvms.compaq.com/wizard/wiz_2637.html
+
+		The rcu_dereference() primitive is also an excellent
+		documentation aid, letting the person reading the
+		code know exactly which pointers are protected by RCU.
+		Please note that compilers can also reorder code, and
+		they are becoming increasingly aggressive about doing
+		just that.  The rcu_dereference() primitive therefore also
+		prevents destructive compiler optimizations.  However,
+		with a bit of devious creativity, it is possible to
+		mishandle the return value from rcu_dereference().
+		Please see rcu_dereference.txt in this directory for
+		more information.
+
+		The rcu_dereference() primitive is used by the
+		various "_rcu()" list-traversal primitives, such
+		as the list_for_each_entry_rcu().  Note that it is
+		perfectly legal (if redundant) for update-side code to
+		use rcu_dereference() and the "_rcu()" list-traversal
+		primitives.  This is particularly useful in code that
+		is common to readers and updaters.  However, lockdep
+		will complain if you access rcu_dereference() outside
+		of an RCU read-side critical section.  See lockdep.txt
+		to learn what to do about this.
+
+		Of course, neither rcu_dereference() nor the "_rcu()"
+		list-traversal primitives can substitute for a good
+		concurrency design coordinating among multiple updaters.
+
+	b.	If the list macros are being used, the list_add_tail_rcu()
+		and list_add_rcu() primitives must be used in order
+		to prevent weakly ordered machines from misordering
+		structure initialization and pointer planting.
+		Similarly, if the hlist macros are being used, the
+		hlist_add_head_rcu() primitive is required.
+
+	c.	If the list macros are being used, the list_del_rcu()
+		primitive must be used to keep list_del()'s pointer
+		poisoning from inflicting toxic effects on concurrent
+		readers.  Similarly, if the hlist macros are being used,
+		the hlist_del_rcu() primitive is required.
+
+		The list_replace_rcu() and hlist_replace_rcu() primitives
+		may be used to replace an old structure with a new one
+		in their respective types of RCU-protected lists.
+
+	d.	Rules similar to (4b) and (4c) apply to the "hlist_nulls"
+		type of RCU-protected linked lists.
+
+	e.	Updates must ensure that initialization of a given
+		structure happens before pointers to that structure are
+		publicized.  Use the rcu_assign_pointer() primitive
+		when publicizing a pointer to a structure that can
+		be traversed by an RCU read-side critical section.
+
+5.	If call_rcu(), or a related primitive such as call_rcu_bh(),
+	call_rcu_sched(), or call_srcu() is used, the callback function
+	will be called from softirq context.  In particular, it cannot
+	block.
+
+6.	Since synchronize_rcu() can block, it cannot be called from
+	any sort of irq context.  The same rule applies for
+	synchronize_rcu_bh(), synchronize_sched(), synchronize_srcu(),
+	synchronize_rcu_expedited(), synchronize_rcu_bh_expedited(),
+	synchronize_sched_expedite(), and synchronize_srcu_expedited().
+
+	The expedited forms of these primitives have the same semantics
+	as the non-expedited forms, but expediting is both expensive and
+	(with the exception of synchronize_srcu_expedited()) unfriendly
+	to real-time workloads.  Use of the expedited primitives should
+	be restricted to rare configuration-change operations that would
+	not normally be undertaken while a real-time workload is running.
+	However, real-time workloads can use rcupdate.rcu_normal kernel
+	boot parameter to completely disable expedited grace periods,
+	though this might have performance implications.
+
+	In particular, if you find yourself invoking one of the expedited
+	primitives repeatedly in a loop, please do everyone a favor:
+	Restructure your code so that it batches the updates, allowing
+	a single non-expedited primitive to cover the entire batch.
+	This will very likely be faster than the loop containing the
+	expedited primitive, and will be much much easier on the rest
+	of the system, especially to real-time workloads running on
+	the rest of the system.
+
+7.	If the updater uses call_rcu() or synchronize_rcu(), then the
+	corresponding readers must use rcu_read_lock() and
+	rcu_read_unlock().  If the updater uses call_rcu_bh() or
+	synchronize_rcu_bh(), then the corresponding readers must
+	use rcu_read_lock_bh() and rcu_read_unlock_bh().  If the
+	updater uses call_rcu_sched() or synchronize_sched(), then
+	the corresponding readers must disable preemption, possibly
+	by calling rcu_read_lock_sched() and rcu_read_unlock_sched().
+	If the updater uses synchronize_srcu() or call_srcu(), then
+	the corresponding readers must use srcu_read_lock() and
+	srcu_read_unlock(), and with the same srcu_struct.  The rules for
+	the expedited primitives are the same as for their non-expedited
+	counterparts.  Mixing things up will result in confusion and
+	broken kernels.
+
+	One exception to this rule: rcu_read_lock() and rcu_read_unlock()
+	may be substituted for rcu_read_lock_bh() and rcu_read_unlock_bh()
+	in cases where local bottom halves are already known to be
+	disabled, for example, in irq or softirq context.  Commenting
+	such cases is a must, of course!  And the jury is still out on
+	whether the increased speed is worth it.
+
+8.	Although synchronize_rcu() is slower than is call_rcu(), it
+	usually results in simpler code.  So, unless update performance is
+	critically important, the updaters cannot block, or the latency of
+	synchronize_rcu() is visible from userspace, synchronize_rcu()
+	should be used in preference to call_rcu().  Furthermore,
+	kfree_rcu() usually results in even simpler code than does
+	synchronize_rcu() without synchronize_rcu()'s multi-millisecond
+	latency.  So please take advantage of kfree_rcu()'s "fire and
+	forget" memory-freeing capabilities where it applies.
+
+	An especially important property of the synchronize_rcu()
+	primitive is that it automatically self-limits: if grace periods
+	are delayed for whatever reason, then the synchronize_rcu()
+	primitive will correspondingly delay updates.  In contrast,
+	code using call_rcu() should explicitly limit update rate in
+	cases where grace periods are delayed, as failing to do so can
+	result in excessive realtime latencies or even OOM conditions.
+
+	Ways of gaining this self-limiting property when using call_rcu()
+	include:
+
+	a.	Keeping a count of the number of data-structure elements
+		used by the RCU-protected data structure, including
+		those waiting for a grace period to elapse.  Enforce a
+		limit on this number, stalling updates as needed to allow
+		previously deferred frees to complete.	Alternatively,
+		limit only the number awaiting deferred free rather than
+		the total number of elements.
+
+		One way to stall the updates is to acquire the update-side
+		mutex.	(Don't try this with a spinlock -- other CPUs
+		spinning on the lock could prevent the grace period
+		from ever ending.)  Another way to stall the updates
+		is for the updates to use a wrapper function around
+		the memory allocator, so that this wrapper function
+		simulates OOM when there is too much memory awaiting an
+		RCU grace period.  There are of course many other
+		variations on this theme.
+
+	b.	Limiting update rate.  For example, if updates occur only
+		once per hour, then no explicit rate limiting is
+		required, unless your system is already badly broken.
+		Older versions of the dcache subsystem take this approach,
+		guarding updates with a global lock, limiting their rate.
+
+	c.	Trusted update -- if updates can only be done manually by
+		superuser or some other trusted user, then it might not
+		be necessary to automatically limit them.  The theory
+		here is that superuser already has lots of ways to crash
+		the machine.
+
+	d.	Use call_rcu_bh() rather than call_rcu(), in order to take
+		advantage of call_rcu_bh()'s faster grace periods.  (This
+		is only a partial solution, though.)
+
+	e.	Periodically invoke synchronize_rcu(), permitting a limited
+		number of updates per grace period.
+
+	The same cautions apply to call_rcu_bh(), call_rcu_sched(),
+	call_srcu(), and kfree_rcu().
+
+	Note that although these primitives do take action to avoid memory
+	exhaustion when any given CPU has too many callbacks, a determined
+	user could still exhaust memory.  This is especially the case
+	if a system with a large number of CPUs has been configured to
+	offload all of its RCU callbacks onto a single CPU, or if the
+	system has relatively little free memory.
+
+9.	All RCU list-traversal primitives, which include
+	rcu_dereference(), list_for_each_entry_rcu(), and
+	list_for_each_safe_rcu(), must be either within an RCU read-side
+	critical section or must be protected by appropriate update-side
+	locks.	RCU read-side critical sections are delimited by
+	rcu_read_lock() and rcu_read_unlock(), or by similar primitives
+	such as rcu_read_lock_bh() and rcu_read_unlock_bh(), in which
+	case the matching rcu_dereference() primitive must be used in
+	order to keep lockdep happy, in this case, rcu_dereference_bh().
+
+	The reason that it is permissible to use RCU list-traversal
+	primitives when the update-side lock is held is that doing so
+	can be quite helpful in reducing code bloat when common code is
+	shared between readers and updaters.  Additional primitives
+	are provided for this case, as discussed in lockdep.txt.
+
+10.	Conversely, if you are in an RCU read-side critical section,
+	and you don't hold the appropriate update-side lock, you -must-
+	use the "_rcu()" variants of the list macros.  Failing to do so
+	will break Alpha, cause aggressive compilers to generate bad code,
+	and confuse people trying to read your code.
+
+11.	Note that synchronize_rcu() -only- guarantees to wait until
+	all currently executing rcu_read_lock()-protected RCU read-side
+	critical sections complete.  It does -not- necessarily guarantee
+	that all currently running interrupts, NMIs, preempt_disable()
+	code, or idle loops will complete.  Therefore, if your
+	read-side critical sections are protected by something other
+	than rcu_read_lock(), do -not- use synchronize_rcu().
+
+	Similarly, disabling preemption is not an acceptable substitute
+	for rcu_read_lock().  Code that attempts to use preemption
+	disabling where it should be using rcu_read_lock() will break
+	in CONFIG_PREEMPT=y kernel builds.
+
+	If you want to wait for interrupt handlers, NMI handlers, and
+	code under the influence of preempt_disable(), you instead
+	need to use synchronize_irq() or synchronize_sched().
+
+	This same limitation also applies to synchronize_rcu_bh()
+	and synchronize_srcu(), as well as to the asynchronous and
+	expedited forms of the three primitives, namely call_rcu(),
+	call_rcu_bh(), call_srcu(), synchronize_rcu_expedited(),
+	synchronize_rcu_bh_expedited(), and synchronize_srcu_expedited().
+
+12.	Any lock acquired by an RCU callback must be acquired elsewhere
+	with softirq disabled, e.g., via spin_lock_irqsave(),
+	spin_lock_bh(), etc.  Failing to disable irq on a given
+	acquisition of that lock will result in deadlock as soon as
+	the RCU softirq handler happens to run your RCU callback while
+	interrupting that acquisition's critical section.
+
+13.	RCU callbacks can be and are executed in parallel.  In many cases,
+	the callback code simply wrappers around kfree(), so that this
+	is not an issue (or, more accurately, to the extent that it is
+	an issue, the memory-allocator locking handles it).  However,
+	if the callbacks do manipulate a shared data structure, they
+	must use whatever locking or other synchronization is required
+	to safely access and/or modify that data structure.
+
+	RCU callbacks are -usually- executed on the same CPU that executed
+	the corresponding call_rcu(), call_rcu_bh(), or call_rcu_sched(),
+	but are by -no- means guaranteed to be.  For example, if a given
+	CPU goes offline while having an RCU callback pending, then that
+	RCU callback will execute on some surviving CPU.  (If this was
+	not the case, a self-spawning RCU callback would prevent the
+	victim CPU from ever going offline.)
+
+14.	Unlike other forms of RCU, it -is- permissible to block in an
+	SRCU read-side critical section (demarked by srcu_read_lock()
+	and srcu_read_unlock()), hence the "SRCU": "sleepable RCU".
+	Please note that if you don't need to sleep in read-side critical
+	sections, you should be using RCU rather than SRCU, because RCU
+	is almost always faster and easier to use than is SRCU.
+
+	Also unlike other forms of RCU, explicit initialization and
+	cleanup is required either at build time via DEFINE_SRCU()
+	or DEFINE_STATIC_SRCU() or at runtime via init_srcu_struct()
+	and cleanup_srcu_struct().  These last two are passed a
+	"struct srcu_struct" that defines the scope of a given
+	SRCU domain.  Once initialized, the srcu_struct is passed
+	to srcu_read_lock(), srcu_read_unlock() synchronize_srcu(),
+	synchronize_srcu_expedited(), and call_srcu().	A given
+	synchronize_srcu() waits only for SRCU read-side critical
+	sections governed by srcu_read_lock() and srcu_read_unlock()
+	calls that have been passed the same srcu_struct.  This property
+	is what makes sleeping read-side critical sections tolerable --
+	a given subsystem delays only its own updates, not those of other
+	subsystems using SRCU.	Therefore, SRCU is less prone to OOM the
+	system than RCU would be if RCU's read-side critical sections
+	were permitted to sleep.
+
+	The ability to sleep in read-side critical sections does not
+	come for free.	First, corresponding srcu_read_lock() and
+	srcu_read_unlock() calls must be passed the same srcu_struct.
+	Second, grace-period-detection overhead is amortized only
+	over those updates sharing a given srcu_struct, rather than
+	being globally amortized as they are for other forms of RCU.
+	Therefore, SRCU should be used in preference to rw_semaphore
+	only in extremely read-intensive situations, or in situations
+	requiring SRCU's read-side deadlock immunity or low read-side
+	realtime latency.  You should also consider percpu_rw_semaphore
+	when you need lightweight readers.
+
+	SRCU's expedited primitive (synchronize_srcu_expedited())
+	never sends IPIs to other CPUs, so it is easier on
+	real-time workloads than is synchronize_rcu_expedited(),
+	synchronize_rcu_bh_expedited() or synchronize_sched_expedited().
+
+	Note that rcu_dereference() and rcu_assign_pointer() relate to
+	SRCU just as they do to other forms of RCU.
+
+15.	The whole point of call_rcu(), synchronize_rcu(), and friends
+	is to wait until all pre-existing readers have finished before
+	carrying out some otherwise-destructive operation.  It is
+	therefore critically important to -first- remove any path
+	that readers can follow that could be affected by the
+	destructive operation, and -only- -then- invoke call_rcu(),
+	synchronize_rcu(), or friends.
+
+	Because these primitives only wait for pre-existing readers, it
+	is the caller's responsibility to guarantee that any subsequent
+	readers will execute safely.
+
+16.	The various RCU read-side primitives do -not- necessarily contain
+	memory barriers.  You should therefore plan for the CPU
+	and the compiler to freely reorder code into and out of RCU
+	read-side critical sections.  It is the responsibility of the
+	RCU update-side primitives to deal with this.
+
+17.	Use CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING, CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS_RCU_HEAD, and the
+	__rcu sparse checks to validate your RCU code.	These can help
+	find problems as follows:
+
+	CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING: check that accesses to RCU-protected data
+		structures are carried out under the proper RCU
+		read-side critical section, while holding the right
+		combination of locks, or whatever other conditions
+		are appropriate.
+
+	CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS_RCU_HEAD: check that you don't pass the
+		same object to call_rcu() (or friends) before an RCU
+		grace period has elapsed since the last time that you
+		passed that same object to call_rcu() (or friends).
+
+	__rcu sparse checks: tag the pointer to the RCU-protected data
+		structure with __rcu, and sparse will warn you if you
+		access that pointer without the services of one of the
+		variants of rcu_dereference().
+
+	These debugging aids can help you find problems that are
+	otherwise extremely difficult to spot.
+
+18.	If you register a callback using call_rcu(), call_rcu_bh(),
+	call_rcu_sched(), or call_srcu(), and pass in a function defined
+	within a loadable module, then it in necessary to wait for
+	all pending callbacks to be invoked after the last invocation
+	and before unloading that module.  Note that it is absolutely
+	-not- sufficient to wait for a grace period!  The current (say)
+	synchronize_rcu() implementation waits only for all previous
+	callbacks registered on the CPU that synchronize_rcu() is running
+	on, but it is -not- guaranteed to wait for callbacks registered
+	on other CPUs.
+
+	You instead need to use one of the barrier functions:
+
+	o	call_rcu() -> rcu_barrier()
+	o	call_rcu_bh() -> rcu_barrier_bh()
+	o	call_rcu_sched() -> rcu_barrier_sched()
+	o	call_srcu() -> srcu_barrier()
+
+	However, these barrier functions are absolutely -not- guaranteed
+	to wait for a grace period.  In fact, if there are no call_rcu()
+	callbacks waiting anywhere in the system, rcu_barrier() is within
+	its rights to return immediately.
+
+	So if you need to wait for both an RCU grace period and for
+	all pre-existing call_rcu() callbacks, you will need to execute
+	both rcu_barrier() and synchronize_rcu(), if necessary, using
+	something like workqueues to to execute them concurrently.

+Using RCU to Protect Read-Mostly Linked Lists
+
+
+One of the best applications of RCU is to protect read-mostly linked lists
+("struct list_head" in list.h).  One big advantage of this approach
+is that all of the required memory barriers are included for you in
+the list macros.  This document describes several applications of RCU,
+with the best fits first.
+
+
+Example 1: Read-Side Action Taken Outside of Lock, No In-Place Updates
+
+The best applications are cases where, if reader-writer locking were
+used, the read-side lock would be dropped before taking any action
+based on the results of the search.  The most celebrated example is
+the routing table.  Because the routing table is tracking the state of
+equipment outside of the computer, it will at times contain stale data.
+Therefore, once the route has been computed, there is no need to hold
+the routing table static during transmission of the packet.  After all,
+you can hold the routing table static all you want, but that won't keep
+the external Internet from changing, and it is the state of the external
+Internet that really matters.  In addition, routing entries are typically
+added or deleted, rather than being modified in place.
+
+A straightforward example of this use of RCU may be found in the
+system-call auditing support.  For example, a reader-writer locked
+implementation of audit_filter_task() might be as follows:
+
+	static enum audit_state audit_filter_task(struct task_struct *tsk)
+	{
+		struct audit_entry *e;
+		enum audit_state   state;
+
+		read_lock(&auditsc_lock);
+		/* Note: audit_netlink_sem held by caller. */
+		list_for_each_entry(e, &audit_tsklist, list) {
+			if (audit_filter_rules(tsk, &e->rule, NULL, &state)) {
+				read_unlock(&auditsc_lock);
+				return state;
+			}
+		}
+		read_unlock(&auditsc_lock);
+		return AUDIT_BUILD_CONTEXT;
+	}
+
+Here the list is searched under the lock, but the lock is dropped before
+the corresponding value is returned.  By the time that this value is acted
+on, the list may well have been modified.  This makes sense, since if
+you are turning auditing off, it is OK to audit a few extra system calls.
+
+This means that RCU can be easily applied to the read side, as follows:
+
+	static enum audit_state audit_filter_task(struct task_struct *tsk)
+	{
+		struct audit_entry *e;
+		enum audit_state   state;
+
+		rcu_read_lock();
+		/* Note: audit_netlink_sem held by caller. */
+		list_for_each_entry_rcu(e, &audit_tsklist, list) {
+			if (audit_filter_rules(tsk, &e->rule, NULL, &state)) {
+				rcu_read_unlock();
+				return state;
+			}
+		}
+		rcu_read_unlock();
+		return AUDIT_BUILD_CONTEXT;
+	}
+
+The read_lock() and read_unlock() calls have become rcu_read_lock()
+and rcu_read_unlock(), respectively, and the list_for_each_entry() has
+become list_for_each_entry_rcu().  The _rcu() list-traversal primitives
+insert the read-side memory barriers that are required on DEC Alpha CPUs.
+
+The changes to the update side are also straightforward.  A reader-writer
+lock might be used as follows for deletion and insertion:
+
+	static inline int audit_del_rule(struct audit_rule *rule,
+					 struct list_head *list)
+	{
+		struct audit_entry  *e;
+
+		write_lock(&auditsc_lock);
+		list_for_each_entry(e, list, list) {
+			if (!audit_compare_rule(rule, &e->rule)) {
+				list_del(&e->list);
+				write_unlock(&auditsc_lock);
+				return 0;
+			}
+		}
+		write_unlock(&auditsc_lock);
+		return -EFAULT;		/* No matching rule */
+	}
+
+	static inline int audit_add_rule(struct audit_entry *entry,
+					 struct list_head *list)
+	{
+		write_lock(&auditsc_lock);
+		if (entry->rule.flags & AUDIT_PREPEND) {
+			entry->rule.flags &= ~AUDIT_PREPEND;
+			list_add(&entry->list, list);
+		} else {
+			list_add_tail(&entry->list, list);
+		}
+		write_unlock(&auditsc_lock);
+		return 0;
+	}
+
+Following are the RCU equivalents for these two functions:
+
+	static inline int audit_del_rule(struct audit_rule *rule,
+					 struct list_head *list)
+	{
+		struct audit_entry  *e;
+
+		/* Do not use the _rcu iterator here, since this is the only
+		 * deletion routine. */
+		list_for_each_entry(e, list, list) {
+			if (!audit_compare_rule(rule, &e->rule)) {
+				list_del_rcu(&e->list);
+				call_rcu(&e->rcu, audit_free_rule);
+				return 0;
+			}
+		}
+		return -EFAULT;		/* No matching rule */
+	}
+
+	static inline int audit_add_rule(struct audit_entry *entry,
+					 struct list_head *list)
+	{
+		if (entry->rule.flags & AUDIT_PREPEND) {
+			entry->rule.flags &= ~AUDIT_PREPEND;
+			list_add_rcu(&entry->list, list);
+		} else {
+			list_add_tail_rcu(&entry->list, list);
+		}
+		return 0;
+	}
+
+Normally, the write_lock() and write_unlock() would be replaced by
+a spin_lock() and a spin_unlock(), but in this case, all callers hold
+audit_netlink_sem, so no additional locking is required.  The auditsc_lock
+can therefore be eliminated, since use of RCU eliminates the need for
+writers to exclude readers.  Normally, the write_lock() calls would
+be converted into spin_lock() calls.
+
+The list_del(), list_add(), and list_add_tail() primitives have been
+replaced by list_del_rcu(), list_add_rcu(), and list_add_tail_rcu().
+The _rcu() list-manipulation primitives add memory barriers that are
+needed on weakly ordered CPUs (most of them!).  The list_del_rcu()
+primitive omits the pointer poisoning debug-assist code that would
+otherwise cause concurrent readers to fail spectacularly.
+
+So, when readers can tolerate stale data and when entries are either added
+or deleted, without in-place modification, it is very easy to use RCU!
+
+
+Example 2: Handling In-Place Updates
+
+The system-call auditing code does not update auditing rules in place.
+However, if it did, reader-writer-locked code to do so might look as
+follows (presumably, the field_count is only permitted to decrease,
+otherwise, the added fields would need to be filled in):
+
+	static inline int audit_upd_rule(struct audit_rule *rule,
+					 struct list_head *list,
+					 __u32 newaction,
+					 __u32 newfield_count)
+	{
+		struct audit_entry  *e;
+		struct audit_newentry *ne;
+
+		write_lock(&auditsc_lock);
+		/* Note: audit_netlink_sem held by caller. */
+		list_for_each_entry(e, list, list) {
+			if (!audit_compare_rule(rule, &e->rule)) {
+				e->rule.action = newaction;
+				e->rule.file_count = newfield_count;
+				write_unlock(&auditsc_lock);
+				return 0;
+			}
+		}
+		write_unlock(&auditsc_lock);
+		return -EFAULT;		/* No matching rule */
+	}
+
+The RCU version creates a copy, updates the copy, then replaces the old
+entry with the newly updated entry.  This sequence of actions, allowing
+concurrent reads while doing a copy to perform an update, is what gives
+RCU ("read-copy update") its name.  The RCU code is as follows:
+
+	static inline int audit_upd_rule(struct audit_rule *rule,
+					 struct list_head *list,
+					 __u32 newaction,
+					 __u32 newfield_count)
+	{
+		struct audit_entry  *e;
+		struct audit_newentry *ne;
+
+		list_for_each_entry(e, list, list) {
+			if (!audit_compare_rule(rule, &e->rule)) {
+				ne = kmalloc(sizeof(*entry), GFP_ATOMIC);
+				if (ne == NULL)
+					return -ENOMEM;
+				audit_copy_rule(&ne->rule, &e->rule);
+				ne->rule.action = newaction;
+				ne->rule.file_count = newfield_count;
+				list_replace_rcu(&e->list, &ne->list);
+				call_rcu(&e->rcu, audit_free_rule);
+				return 0;
+			}
+		}
+		return -EFAULT;		/* No matching rule */
+	}
+
+Again, this assumes that the caller holds audit_netlink_sem.  Normally,
+the reader-writer lock would become a spinlock in this sort of code.
+
+
+Example 3: Eliminating Stale Data
+
+The auditing examples above tolerate stale data, as do most algorithms
+that are tracking external state.  Because there is a delay from the
+time the external state changes before Linux becomes aware of the change,
+additional RCU-induced staleness is normally not a problem.
+
+However, there are many examples where stale data cannot be tolerated.
+One example in the Linux kernel is the System V IPC (see the ipc_lock()
+function in ipc/util.c).  This code checks a "deleted" flag under a
+per-entry spinlock, and, if the "deleted" flag is set, pretends that the
+entry does not exist.  For this to be helpful, the search function must
+return holding the per-entry spinlock, as ipc_lock() does in fact do.
+
+Quick Quiz:  Why does the search function need to return holding the
+	per-entry lock for this deleted-flag technique to be helpful?
+
+If the system-call audit module were to ever need to reject stale data,
+one way to accomplish this would be to add a "deleted" flag and a "lock"
+spinlock to the audit_entry structure, and modify audit_filter_task()
+as follows:
+
+	static enum audit_state audit_filter_task(struct task_struct *tsk)
+	{
+		struct audit_entry *e;
+		enum audit_state   state;
+
+		rcu_read_lock();
+		list_for_each_entry_rcu(e, &audit_tsklist, list) {
+			if (audit_filter_rules(tsk, &e->rule, NULL, &state)) {
+				spin_lock(&e->lock);
+				if (e->deleted) {
+					spin_unlock(&e->lock);
+					rcu_read_unlock();
+					return AUDIT_BUILD_CONTEXT;
+				}
+				rcu_read_unlock();
+				return state;
+			}
+		}
+		rcu_read_unlock();
+		return AUDIT_BUILD_CONTEXT;
+	}
+
+Note that this example assumes that entries are only added and deleted.
+Additional mechanism is required to deal correctly with the
+update-in-place performed by audit_upd_rule().  For one thing,
+audit_upd_rule() would need additional memory barriers to ensure
+that the list_add_rcu() was really executed before the list_del_rcu().
+
+The audit_del_rule() function would need to set the "deleted"
+flag under the spinlock as follows:
+
+	static inline int audit_del_rule(struct audit_rule *rule,
+					 struct list_head *list)
+	{
+		struct audit_entry  *e;
+
+		/* Do not need to use the _rcu iterator here, since this
+		 * is the only deletion routine. */
+		list_for_each_entry(e, list, list) {
+			if (!audit_compare_rule(rule, &e->rule)) {
+				spin_lock(&e->lock);
+				list_del_rcu(&e->list);
+				e->deleted = 1;
+				spin_unlock(&e->lock);
+				call_rcu(&e->rcu, audit_free_rule);
+				return 0;
+			}
+		}
+		return -EFAULT;		/* No matching rule */
+	}
+
+
+Summary
+
+Read-mostly list-based data structures that can tolerate stale data are
+the most amenable to use of RCU.  The simplest case is where entries are
+either added or deleted from the data structure (or atomically modified
+in place), but non-atomic in-place modifications can be handled by making
+a copy, updating the copy, then replacing the original with the copy.
+If stale data cannot be tolerated, then a "deleted" flag may be used
+in conjunction with a per-entry spinlock in order to allow the search
+function to reject newly deleted data.
+
+
+Answer to Quick Quiz
+	Why does the search function need to return holding the per-entry
+	lock for this deleted-flag technique to be helpful?
+
+	If the search function drops the per-entry lock before returning,
+	then the caller will be processing stale data in any case.  If it
+	is really OK to be processing stale data, then you don't need a
+	"deleted" flag.  If processing stale data really is a problem,
+	then you need to hold the per-entry lock across all of the code
+	that uses the value that was returned.

+Lockdep-RCU was added to the Linux kernel in early 2010
+(http://lwn.net/Articles/371986/).  This facility checks for some common
+misuses of the RCU API, most notably using one of the rcu_dereference()
+family to access an RCU-protected pointer without the proper protection.
+When such misuse is detected, an lockdep-RCU splat is emitted.
+
+The usual cause of a lockdep-RCU slat is someone accessing an
+RCU-protected data structure without either (1) being in the right kind of
+RCU read-side critical section or (2) holding the right update-side lock.
+This problem can therefore be serious: it might result in random memory
+overwriting or worse.  There can of course be false positives, this
+being the real world and all that.

+Line 2776 of block/cfq-iosched.c in v3.0-rc5 is as follows:
+
+	if (rcu_dereference(ioc->ioc_data) == cic) {
+
+This form says that it must be in a plain vanilla RCU read-side critical
+section, but the "other info" list above shows that this is not the
+case.  Instead, we hold three locks, one of which might be RCU related.
+And maybe that lock really does protect this reference.  If so, the fix
+is to inform RCU, perhaps by changing __cfq_exit_single_io_context() to
+take the struct request_queue "q" from cfq_exit_queue() as an argument,
+which would permit us to invoke rcu_dereference_protected as follows:
+
+	if (rcu_dereference_protected(ioc->ioc_data,
+				      lockdep_is_held(&q->queue_lock)) == cic) {
+
+With this change, there would be no lockdep-RCU splat emitted if this
+code was invoked either from within an RCU read-side critical section
+or with the ->queue_lock held.  In particular, this would have suppressed
+the above lockdep-RCU splat because ->queue_lock is held (see #2 in the
+list above).
+
+On the other hand, perhaps we really do need an RCU read-side critical
+section.  In this case, the critical section must span the use of the
+return value from rcu_dereference(), or at least until there is some
+reference count incremented or some such.  One way to handle this is to
+add rcu_read_lock() and rcu_read_unlock() as follows:
+
+	rcu_read_lock();
+	if (rcu_dereference(ioc->ioc_data) == cic) {
+		spin_lock(&ioc->lock);
+		rcu_assign_pointer(ioc->ioc_data, NULL);
+		spin_unlock(&ioc->lock);
+	}
+	rcu_read_unlock();
+
+With this change, the rcu_dereference() is always within an RCU
+read-side critical section, which again would have suppressed the
+above lockdep-RCU splat.
+
+But in this particular case, we don't actually deference the pointer
+returned from rcu_dereference().  Instead, that pointer is just compared
+to the cic pointer, which means that the rcu_dereference() can be replaced
+by rcu_access_pointer() as follows:
+
+	if (rcu_access_pointer(ioc->ioc_data) == cic) {
+
+Because it is legal to invoke rcu_access_pointer() without protection,
+this change would also suppress the above lockdep-RCU splat.

+RCU and lockdep checking
+
+All flavors of RCU have lockdep checking available, so that lockdep is
+aware of when each task enters and leaves any flavor of RCU read-side
+critical section.  Each flavor of RCU is tracked separately (but note
+that this is not the case in 2.6.32 and earlier).  This allows lockdep's
+tracking to include RCU state, which can sometimes help when debugging
+deadlocks and the like.
+
+In addition, RCU provides the following primitives that check lockdep's
+state:
+
+	rcu_read_lock_held() for normal RCU.
+	rcu_read_lock_bh_held() for RCU-bh.
+	rcu_read_lock_sched_held() for RCU-sched.
+	srcu_read_lock_held() for SRCU.
+
+These functions are conservative, and will therefore return 1 if they
+aren't certain (for example, if CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC is not set).
+This prevents things like WARN_ON(!rcu_read_lock_held()) from giving false
+positives when lockdep is disabled.
+
+In addition, a separate kernel config parameter CONFIG_PROVE_RCU enables
+checking of rcu_dereference() primitives:
+
+	rcu_dereference(p):
+		Check for RCU read-side critical section.
+	rcu_dereference_bh(p):
+		Check for RCU-bh read-side critical section.
+	rcu_dereference_sched(p):
+		Check for RCU-sched read-side critical section.
+	srcu_dereference(p, sp):
+		Check for SRCU read-side critical section.
+	rcu_dereference_check(p, c):
+		Use explicit check expression "c" along with
+		rcu_read_lock_held().  This is useful in code that is
+		invoked by both RCU readers and updaters.
+	rcu_dereference_bh_check(p, c):
+		Use explicit check expression "c" along with
+		rcu_read_lock_bh_held().  This is useful in code that
+		is invoked by both RCU-bh readers and updaters.
+	rcu_dereference_sched_check(p, c):
+		Use explicit check expression "c" along with
+		rcu_read_lock_sched_held().  This is useful in code that
+		is invoked by both RCU-sched readers and updaters.
+	srcu_dereference_check(p, c):
+		Use explicit check expression "c" along with
+		srcu_read_lock_held()().  This is useful in code that
+		is invoked by both SRCU readers and updaters.
+	rcu_dereference_raw(p):
+		Don't check.  (Use sparingly, if at all.)
+	rcu_dereference_protected(p, c):
+		Use explicit check expression "c", and omit all barriers
+		and compiler constraints.  This is useful when the data
+		structure cannot change, for example, in code that is
+		invoked only by updaters.
+	rcu_access_pointer(p):
+		Return the value of the pointer and omit all barriers,
+		but retain the compiler constraints that prevent duplicating
+		or coalescsing.  This is useful when when testing the
+		value of the pointer itself, for example, against NULL.
+
+The rcu_dereference_check() check expression can be any boolean
+expression, but would normally include a lockdep expression.  However,
+any boolean expression can be used.  For a moderately ornate example,
+consider the following:
+
+	file = rcu_dereference_check(fdt->fd[fd],
+				     lockdep_is_held(&files->file_lock) ||
+				     atomic_read(&files->count) == 1);
+
+This expression picks up the pointer "fdt->fd[fd]" in an RCU-safe manner,
+and, if CONFIG_PROVE_RCU is configured, verifies that this expression
+is used in:
+
+1.	An RCU read-side critical section (implicit), or
+2.	with files->file_lock held, or
+3.	on an unshared files_struct.
+
+In case (1), the pointer is picked up in an RCU-safe manner for vanilla
+RCU read-side critical sections, in case (2) the ->file_lock prevents
+any change from taking place, and finally, in case (3) the current task
+is the only task accessing the file_struct, again preventing any change
+from taking place.  If the above statement was invoked only from updater
+code, it could instead be written as follows:
+
+	file = rcu_dereference_protected(fdt->fd[fd],
+					 lockdep_is_held(&files->file_lock) ||
+					 atomic_read(&files->count) == 1);
+
+This would verify cases #2 and #3 above, and furthermore lockdep would
+complain if this was used in an RCU read-side critical section unless one
+of these two cases held.  Because rcu_dereference_protected() omits all
+barriers and compiler constraints, it generates better code than do the
+other flavors of rcu_dereference().  On the other hand, it is illegal
+to use rcu_dereference_protected() if either the RCU-protected pointer
+or the RCU-protected data that it points to can change concurrently.
+
+There are currently only "universal" versions of the rcu_assign_pointer()
+and RCU list-/tree-traversal primitives, which do not (yet) check for
+being in an RCU read-side critical section.  In the future, separate
+versions of these primitives might be created.

+RCU Concepts
+
+
+The basic idea behind RCU (read-copy update) is to split destructive
+operations into two parts, one that prevents anyone from seeing the data
+item being destroyed, and one that actually carries out the destruction.
+A "grace period" must elapse between the two parts, and this grace period
+must be long enough that any readers accessing the item being deleted have
+since dropped their references.  For example, an RCU-protected deletion
+from a linked list would first remove the item from the list, wait for
+a grace period to elapse, then free the element.  See the listRCU.txt
+file for more information on using RCU with linked lists.
+
+
+Frequently Asked Questions
+
+o	Why would anyone want to use RCU?
+
+	The advantage of RCU's two-part approach is that RCU readers need
+	not acquire any locks, perform any atomic instructions, write to
+	shared memory, or (on CPUs other than Alpha) execute any memory
+	barriers.  The fact that these operations are quite expensive
+	on modern CPUs is what gives RCU its performance advantages
+	in read-mostly situations.  The fact that RCU readers need not
+	acquire locks can also greatly simplify deadlock-avoidance code.
+
+o	How can the updater tell when a grace period has completed
+	if the RCU readers give no indication when they are done?
+
+	Just as with spinlocks, RCU readers are not permitted to
+	block, switch to user-mode execution, or enter the idle loop.
+	Therefore, as soon as a CPU is seen passing through any of these
+	three states, we know that that CPU has exited any previous RCU
+	read-side critical sections.  So, if we remove an item from a
+	linked list, and then wait until all CPUs have switched context,
+	executed in user mode, or executed in the idle loop, we can
+	safely free up that item.
+
+	Preemptible variants of RCU (CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU) get the
+	same effect, but require that the readers manipulate CPU-local
+	counters.  These counters allow limited types of blocking within
+	RCU read-side critical sections.  SRCU also uses CPU-local
+	counters, and permits general blocking within RCU read-side
+	critical sections.  These variants of RCU detect grace periods
+	by sampling these counters.
+
+o	If I am running on a uniprocessor kernel, which can only do one
+	thing at a time, why should I wait for a grace period?
+
+	See the UP.txt file in this directory.
+
+o	How can I see where RCU is currently used in the Linux kernel?
+
+	Search for "rcu_read_lock", "rcu_read_unlock", "call_rcu",
+	"rcu_read_lock_bh", "rcu_read_unlock_bh", "call_rcu_bh",
+	"srcu_read_lock", "srcu_read_unlock", "synchronize_rcu",
+	"synchronize_net", "synchronize_srcu", and the other RCU
+	primitives.  Or grab one of the cscope databases from:
+
+	http://www.rdrop.com/users/paulmck/RCU/linuxusage/rculocktab.html
+
+o	What guidelines should I follow when writing code that uses RCU?
+
+	See the checklist.txt file in this directory.
+
+o	Why the name "RCU"?
+
+	"RCU" stands for "read-copy update".  The file listRCU.txt has
+	more information on where this name came from, search for
+	"read-copy update" to find it.
+
+o	I hear that RCU is patented?  What is with that?
+
+	Yes, it is.  There are several known patents related to RCU,
+	search for the string "Patent" in RTFP.txt to find them.
+	Of these, one was allowed to lapse by the assignee, and the
+	others have been contributed to the Linux kernel under GPL.
+	There are now also LGPL implementations of user-level RCU
+	available (http://liburcu.org/).
+
+o	I hear that RCU needs work in order to support realtime kernels?
+
+	Realtime-friendly RCU can be enabled via the CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU
+	kernel configuration parameter.
+
+o	Where can I find more information on RCU?
+
+	See the RTFP.txt file in this directory.
+	Or point your browser at http://www.rdrop.com/users/paulmck/RCU/.
+
+o	What are all these files in this directory?
+
+	See 00-INDEX for the list.

+PROPER CARE AND FEEDING OF RETURN VALUES FROM rcu_dereference()
+
+Most of the time, you can use values from rcu_dereference() or one of
+the similar primitives without worries.  Dereferencing (prefix "*"),
+field selection ("->"), assignment ("="), address-of ("&"), addition and
+subtraction of constants, and casts all work quite naturally and safely.
+
+It is nevertheless possible to get into trouble with other operations.
+Follow these rules to keep your RCU code working properly:
+
+o	You must use one of the rcu_dereference() family of primitives
+	to load an RCU-protected pointer, otherwise CONFIG_PROVE_RCU
+	will complain.  Worse yet, your code can see random memory-corruption
+	bugs due to games that compilers and DEC Alpha can play.
+	Without one of the rcu_dereference() primitives, compilers
+	can reload the value, and won't your code have fun with two
+	different values for a single pointer!  Without rcu_dereference(),
+	DEC Alpha can load a pointer, dereference that pointer, and
+	return data preceding initialization that preceded the store of
+	the pointer.
+
+	In addition, the volatile cast in rcu_dereference() prevents the
+	compiler from deducing the resulting pointer value.  Please see
+	the section entitled "EXAMPLE WHERE THE COMPILER KNOWS TOO MUCH"
+	for an example where the compiler can in fact deduce the exact
+	value of the pointer, and thus cause misordering.
+
+o	You are only permitted to use rcu_dereference on pointer values.
+	The compiler simply knows too much about integral values to
+	trust it to carry dependencies through integer operations.
+	There are a very few exceptions, namely that you can temporarily
+	cast the pointer to uintptr_t in order to:
+
+	o	Set bits and clear bits down in the must-be-zero low-order
+		bits of that pointer.  This clearly means that the pointer
+		must have alignment constraints, for example, this does
+		-not- work in general for char* pointers.
+
+	o	XOR bits to translate pointers, as is done in some
+		classic buddy-allocator algorithms.
+
+	It is important to cast the value back to pointer before
+	doing much of anything else with it.
+
+o	Avoid cancellation when using the "+" and "-" infix arithmetic
+	operators.  For example, for a given variable "x", avoid
+	"(x-(uintptr_t)x)" for char* pointers.	The compiler is within its
+	rights to substitute zero for this sort of expression, so that
+	subsequent accesses no longer depend on the rcu_dereference(),
+	again possibly resulting in bugs due to misordering.
+
+	Of course, if "p" is a pointer from rcu_dereference(), and "a"
+	and "b" are integers that happen to be equal, the expression
+	"p+a-b" is safe because its value still necessarily depends on
+	the rcu_dereference(), thus maintaining proper ordering.
+
+o	If you are using RCU to protect JITed functions, so that the
+	"()" function-invocation operator is applied to a value obtained
+	(directly or indirectly) from rcu_dereference(), you may need to
+	interact directly with the hardware to flush instruction caches.
+	This issue arises on some systems when a newly JITed function is
+	using the same memory that was used by an earlier JITed function.
+
+o	Do not use the results from relational operators ("==", "!=",
+	">", ">=", "<", or "<=") when dereferencing.  For example,
+	the following (quite strange) code is buggy:
+
+		int *p;
+		int *q;
+
+		...
+
+		p = rcu_dereference(gp)
+		q = &global_q;
+		q += p > &oom_p;
+		r1 = *q;  /* BUGGY!!! */
+
+	As before, the reason this is buggy is that relational operators
+	are often compiled using branches.  And as before, although
+	weak-memory machines such as ARM or PowerPC do order stores
+	after such branches, but can speculate loads, which can again
+	result in misordering bugs.
+
+o	Be very careful about comparing pointers obtained from
+	rcu_dereference() against non-NULL values.  As Linus Torvalds
+	explained, if the two pointers are equal, the compiler could
+	substitute the pointer you are comparing against for the pointer
+	obtained from rcu_dereference().  For example:
+
+		p = rcu_dereference(gp);
+		if (p == &default_struct)
+			do_default(p->a);
+
+	Because the compiler now knows that the value of "p" is exactly
+	the address of the variable "default_struct", it is free to
+	transform this code into the following:
+
+		p = rcu_dereference(gp);
+		if (p == &default_struct)
+			do_default(default_struct.a);
+
+	On ARM and Power hardware, the load from "default_struct.a"
+	can now be speculated, such that it might happen before the
+	rcu_dereference().  This could result in bugs due to misordering.
+
+	However, comparisons are OK in the following cases:
+
+	o	The comparison was against the NULL pointer.  If the
+		compiler knows that the pointer is NULL, you had better
+		not be dereferencing it anyway.  If the comparison is
+		non-equal, the compiler is none the wiser.  Therefore,
+		it is safe to compare pointers from rcu_dereference()
+		against NULL pointers.
+
+	o	The pointer is never dereferenced after being compared.
+		Since there are no subsequent dereferences, the compiler
+		cannot use anything it learned from the comparison
+		to reorder the non-existent subsequent dereferences.
+		This sort of comparison occurs frequently when scanning
+		RCU-protected circular linked lists.
+
+		Note that if checks for being within an RCU read-side
+		critical section are not required and the pointer is never
+		dereferenced, rcu_access_pointer() should be used in place
+		of rcu_dereference().
+
+	o	The comparison is against a pointer that references memory
+		that was initialized "a long time ago."  The reason
+		this is safe is that even if misordering occurs, the
+		misordering will not affect the accesses that follow
+		the comparison.  So exactly how long ago is "a long
+		time ago"?  Here are some possibilities:
+
+		o	Compile time.
+
+		o	Boot time.
+
+		o	Module-init time for module code.
+
+		o	Prior to kthread creation for kthread code.
+
+		o	During some prior acquisition of the lock that
+			we now hold.
+
+		o	Before mod_timer() time for a timer handler.
+
+		There are many other possibilities involving the Linux
+		kernel's wide array of primitives that cause code to
+		be invoked at a later time.
+
+	o	The pointer being compared against also came from
+		rcu_dereference().  In this case, both pointers depend
+		on one rcu_dereference() or another, so you get proper
+		ordering either way.
+
+		That said, this situation can make certain RCU usage
+		bugs more likely to happen.  Which can be a good thing,
+		at least if they happen during testing.  An example
+		of such an RCU usage bug is shown in the section titled
+		"EXAMPLE OF AMPLIFIED RCU-USAGE BUG".
+
+	o	All of the accesses following the comparison are stores,
+		so that a control dependency preserves the needed ordering.
+		That said, it is easy to get control dependencies wrong.
+		Please see the "CONTROL DEPENDENCIES" section of
+		Documentation/memory-barriers.txt for more details.
+
+	o	The pointers are not equal -and- the compiler does
+		not have enough information to deduce the value of the
+		pointer.  Note that the volatile cast in rcu_dereference()
+		will normally prevent the compiler from knowing too much.
+
+		However, please note that if the compiler knows that the
+		pointer takes on only one of two values, a not-equal
+		comparison will provide exactly the information that the
+		compiler needs to deduce the value of the pointer.
+
+o	Disable any value-speculation optimizations that your compiler
+	might provide, especially if you are making use of feedback-based
+	optimizations that take data collected from prior runs.  Such
+	value-speculation optimizations reorder operations by design.
+
+	There is one exception to this rule:  Value-speculation
+	optimizations that leverage the branch-prediction hardware are
+	safe on strongly ordered systems (such as x86), but not on weakly
+	ordered systems (such as ARM or Power).  Choose your compiler
+	command-line options wisely!
+
+
+EXAMPLE OF AMPLIFIED RCU-USAGE BUG
+
+Because updaters can run concurrently with RCU readers, RCU readers can
+see stale and/or inconsistent values.  If RCU readers need fresh or
+consistent values, which they sometimes do, they need to take proper
+precautions.  To see this, consider the following code fragment:
+
+	struct foo {
+		int a;
+		int b;
+		int c;
+	};
+	struct foo *gp1;
+	struct foo *gp2;
+
+	void updater(void)
+	{
+		struct foo *p;
+
+		p = kmalloc(...);
+		if (p == NULL)
+			deal_with_it();
+		p->a = 42;  /* Each field in its own cache line. */
+		p->b = 43;
+		p->c = 44;
+		rcu_assign_pointer(gp1, p);
+		p->b = 143;
+		p->c = 144;
+		rcu_assign_pointer(gp2, p);
+	}
+
+	void reader(void)
+	{
+		struct foo *p;
+		struct foo *q;
+		int r1, r2;
+
+		p = rcu_dereference(gp2);
+		if (p == NULL)
+			return;
+		r1 = p->b;  /* Guaranteed to get 143. */
+		q = rcu_dereference(gp1);  /* Guaranteed non-NULL. */
+		if (p == q) {
+			/* The compiler decides that q->c is same as p->c. */
+			r2 = p->c; /* Could get 44 on weakly order system. */
+		}
+		do_something_with(r1, r2);
+	}
+
+You might be surprised that the outcome (r1 == 143 && r2 == 44) is possible,
+but you should not be.  After all, the updater might have been invoked
+a second time between the time reader() loaded into "r1" and the time
+that it loaded into "r2".  The fact that this same result can occur due
+to some reordering from the compiler and CPUs is beside the point.
+
+But suppose that the reader needs a consistent view?
+
+Then one approach is to use locking, for example, as follows:
+
+	struct foo {
+		int a;
+		int b;
+		int c;
+		spinlock_t lock;
+	};
+	struct foo *gp1;
+	struct foo *gp2;
+
+	void updater(void)
+	{
+		struct foo *p;
+
+		p = kmalloc(...);
+		if (p == NULL)
+			deal_with_it();
+		spin_lock(&p->lock);
+		p->a = 42;  /* Each field in its own cache line. */
+		p->b = 43;
+		p->c = 44;
+		spin_unlock(&p->lock);
+		rcu_assign_pointer(gp1, p);
+		spin_lock(&p->lock);
+		p->b = 143;
+		p->c = 144;
+		spin_unlock(&p->lock);
+		rcu_assign_pointer(gp2, p);
+	}
+
+	void reader(void)
+	{
+		struct foo *p;
+		struct foo *q;
+		int r1, r2;
+
+		p = rcu_dereference(gp2);
+		if (p == NULL)
+			return;
+		spin_lock(&p->lock);
+		r1 = p->b;  /* Guaranteed to get 143. */
+		q = rcu_dereference(gp1);  /* Guaranteed non-NULL. */
+		if (p == q) {
+			/* The compiler decides that q->c is same as p->c. */
+			r2 = p->c; /* Locking guarantees r2 == 144. */
+		}
+		spin_unlock(&p->lock);
+		do_something_with(r1, r2);
+	}
+
+As always, use the right tool for the job!
+
+
+EXAMPLE WHERE THE COMPILER KNOWS TOO MUCH
+
+If a pointer obtained from rcu_dereference() compares not-equal to some
+other pointer, the compiler normally has no clue what the value of the
+first pointer might be.  This lack of knowledge prevents the compiler
+from carrying out optimizations that otherwise might destroy the ordering
+guarantees that RCU depends on.  And the volatile cast in rcu_dereference()
+should prevent the compiler from guessing the value.
+
+But without rcu_dereference(), the compiler knows more than you might
+expect.  Consider the following code fragment:
+
+	struct foo {
+		int a;
+		int b;
+	};
+	static struct foo variable1;
+	static struct foo variable2;
+	static struct foo *gp = &variable1;
+
+	void updater(void)
+	{
+		initialize_foo(&variable2);
+		rcu_assign_pointer(gp, &variable2);
+		/*
+		 * The above is the only store to gp in this translation unit,
+		 * and the address of gp is not exported in any way.
+		 */
+	}
+
+	int reader(void)
+	{
+		struct foo *p;
+
+		p = gp;
+		barrier();
+		if (p == &variable1)
+			return p->a; /* Must be variable1.a. */
+		else
+			return p->b; /* Must be variable2.b. */
+	}
+
+Because the compiler can see all stores to "gp", it knows that the only
+possible values of "gp" are "variable1" on the one hand and "variable2"
+on the other.  The comparison in reader() therefore tells the compiler
+the exact value of "p" even in the not-equals case.  This allows the
+compiler to make the return values independent of the load from "gp",
+in turn destroying the ordering between this load and the loads of the
+return values.  This can result in "p->b" returning pre-initialization
+garbage values.
+
+In short, rcu_dereference() is -not- optional when you are going to
+dereference the resulting pointer.

+RCU and Unloadable Modules
+
+[Originally published in LWN Jan. 14, 2007: http://lwn.net/Articles/217484/]
+
+RCU (read-copy update) is a synchronization mechanism that can be thought
+of as a replacement for read-writer locking (among other things), but with
+very low-overhead readers that are immune to deadlock, priority inversion,
+and unbounded latency. RCU read-side critical sections are delimited
+by rcu_read_lock() and rcu_read_unlock(), which, in non-CONFIG_PREEMPT
+kernels, generate no code whatsoever.
+
+This means that RCU writers are unaware of the presence of concurrent
+readers, so that RCU updates to shared data must be undertaken quite
+carefully, leaving an old version of the data structure in place until all
+pre-existing readers have finished. These old versions are needed because
+such readers might hold a reference to them. RCU updates can therefore be
+rather expensive, and RCU is thus best suited for read-mostly situations.
+
+How can an RCU writer possibly determine when all readers are finished,
+given that readers might well leave absolutely no trace of their
+presence? There is a synchronize_rcu() primitive that blocks until all
+pre-existing readers have completed. An updater wishing to delete an
+element p from a linked list might do the following, while holding an
+appropriate lock, of course:
+
+	list_del_rcu(p);
+	synchronize_rcu();
+	kfree(p);
+
+But the above code cannot be used in IRQ context -- the call_rcu()
+primitive must be used instead. This primitive takes a pointer to an
+rcu_head struct placed within the RCU-protected data structure and
+another pointer to a function that may be invoked later to free that
+structure. Code to delete an element p from the linked list from IRQ
+context might then be as follows:
+
+	list_del_rcu(p);
+	call_rcu(&p->rcu, p_callback);
+
+Since call_rcu() never blocks, this code can safely be used from within
+IRQ context. The function p_callback() might be defined as follows:
+
+	static void p_callback(struct rcu_head *rp)
+	{
+		struct pstruct *p = container_of(rp, struct pstruct, rcu);
+
+		kfree(p);
+	}
+
+
+Unloading Modules That Use call_rcu()
+
+But what if p_callback is defined in an unloadable module?
+
+If we unload the module while some RCU callbacks are pending,
+the CPUs executing these callbacks are going to be severely
+disappointed when they are later invoked, as fancifully depicted at
+http://lwn.net/images/ns/kernel/rcu-drop.jpg.
+
+We could try placing a synchronize_rcu() in the module-exit code path,
+but this is not sufficient. Although synchronize_rcu() does wait for a
+grace period to elapse, it does not wait for the callbacks to complete.
+
+One might be tempted to try several back-to-back synchronize_rcu()
+calls, but this is still not guaranteed to work. If there is a very
+heavy RCU-callback load, then some of the callbacks might be deferred
+in order to allow other processing to proceed. Such deferral is required
+in realtime kernels in order to avoid excessive scheduling latencies.
+
+
+rcu_barrier()
+
+We instead need the rcu_barrier() primitive.  Rather than waiting for
+a grace period to elapse, rcu_barrier() waits for all outstanding RCU
+callbacks to complete.  Please note that rcu_barrier() does -not- imply
+synchronize_rcu(), in particular, if there are no RCU callbacks queued
+anywhere, rcu_barrier() is within its rights to return immediately,
+without waiting for a grace period to elapse.
+
+Pseudo-code using rcu_barrier() is as follows:
+
+   1. Prevent any new RCU callbacks from being posted.
+   2. Execute rcu_barrier().
+   3. Allow the module to be unloaded.
+
+There are also rcu_barrier_bh(), rcu_barrier_sched(), and srcu_barrier()
+functions for the other flavors of RCU, and you of course must match
+the flavor of rcu_barrier() with that of call_rcu().  If your module
+uses multiple flavors of call_rcu(), then it must also use multiple
+flavors of rcu_barrier() when unloading that module.  For example, if
+it uses call_rcu_bh(), call_srcu() on srcu_struct_1, and call_srcu() on
+srcu_struct_2(), then the following three lines of code will be required
+when unloading:
+
+ 1 rcu_barrier_bh();
+ 2 srcu_barrier(&srcu_struct_1);
+ 3 srcu_barrier(&srcu_struct_2);
+
+The rcutorture module makes use of rcu_barrier() in its exit function
+as follows:
+
+ 1 static void
+ 2 rcu_torture_cleanup(void)
+ 3 {
+ 4   int i;
+ 5
+ 6   fullstop = 1;

+
+Line 6 sets a global variable that prevents any RCU callbacks from
+re-posting themselves. This will not be necessary in most cases, since
+RCU callbacks rarely include calls to call_rcu(). However, the rcutorture
+module is an exception to this rule, and therefore needs to set this
+global variable.
+
+Lines 7-50 stop all the kernel tasks associated with the rcutorture
+module. Therefore, once execution reaches line 53, no more rcutorture
+RCU callbacks will be posted. The rcu_barrier() call on line 53 waits
+for any pre-existing callbacks to complete.
+
+Then lines 55-62 print status and do operation-specific cleanup, and
+then return, permitting the module-unload operation to be completed.
+
+Quick Quiz #1: Is there any other situation where rcu_barrier() might
+	be required?
+
+Your module might have additional complications. For example, if your
+module invokes call_rcu() from timers, you will need to first cancel all
+the timers, and only then invoke rcu_barrier() to wait for any remaining
+RCU callbacks to complete.
+
+Of course, if you module uses call_rcu_bh(), you will need to invoke
+rcu_barrier_bh() before unloading.  Similarly, if your module uses
+call_rcu_sched(), you will need to invoke rcu_barrier_sched() before
+unloading.  If your module uses call_rcu(), call_rcu_bh(), -and-
+call_rcu_sched(), then you will need to invoke each of rcu_barrier(),
+rcu_barrier_bh(), and rcu_barrier_sched().
+
+
+Implementing rcu_barrier()
+
+Dipankar Sarma's implementation of rcu_barrier() makes use of the fact
+that RCU callbacks are never reordered once queued on one of the per-CPU
+queues. His implementation queues an RCU callback on each of the per-CPU
+callback queues, and then waits until they have all started executing, at
+which point, all earlier RCU callbacks are guaranteed to have completed.
+
+The original code for rcu_barrier() was as follows:
+
+ 1 void rcu_barrier(void)
+ 2 {
+ 3   BUG_ON(in_interrupt());
+ 4   /* Take cpucontrol mutex to protect against CPU hotplug */
+ 5   mutex_lock(&rcu_barrier_mutex);
+ 6   init_completion(&rcu_barrier_completion);
+ 7   atomic_set(&rcu_barrier_cpu_count, 0);
+ 8   on_each_cpu(rcu_barrier_func, NULL, 0, 1);
+ 9   wait_for_completion(&rcu_barrier_completion);
+10   mutex_unlock(&rcu_barrier_mutex);
+11 }
+
+Line 3 verifies that the caller is in process context, and lines 5 and 10
+use rcu_barrier_mutex to ensure that only one rcu_barrier() is using the
+global completion and counters at a time, which are initialized on lines
+6 and 7. Line 8 causes each CPU to invoke rcu_barrier_func(), which is
+shown below. Note that the final "1" in on_each_cpu()'s argument list
+ensures that all the calls to rcu_barrier_func() will have completed
+before on_each_cpu() returns. Line 9 then waits for the completion.
+
+This code was rewritten in 2008 to support rcu_barrier_bh() and
+rcu_barrier_sched() in addition to the original rcu_barrier().
+
+The rcu_barrier_func() runs on each CPU, where it invokes call_rcu()
+to post an RCU callback, as follows:
+
+ 1 static void rcu_barrier_func(void *notused)
+ 2 {
+ 3 int cpu = smp_processor_id();
+ 4 struct rcu_data *rdp = &per_cpu(rcu_data, cpu);
+ 5 struct rcu_head *head;
+ 6
+ 7 head = &rdp->barrier;
+ 8 atomic_inc(&rcu_barrier_cpu_count);
+ 9 call_rcu(head, rcu_barrier_callback);
+10 }
+
+Lines 3 and 4 locate RCU's internal per-CPU rcu_data structure,
+which contains the struct rcu_head that needed for the later call to
+call_rcu(). Line 7 picks up a pointer to this struct rcu_head, and line
+8 increments a global counter. This counter will later be decremented
+by the callback. Line 9 then registers the rcu_barrier_callback() on
+the current CPU's queue.
+
+The rcu_barrier_callback() function simply atomically decrements the
+rcu_barrier_cpu_count variable and finalizes the completion when it
+reaches zero, as follows:
+
+ 1 static void rcu_barrier_callback(struct rcu_head *notused)
+ 2 {
+ 3 if (atomic_dec_and_test(&rcu_barrier_cpu_count))
+ 4 complete(&rcu_barrier_completion);
+ 5 }
+
+Quick Quiz #2: What happens if CPU 0's rcu_barrier_func() executes
+	immediately (thus incrementing rcu_barrier_cpu_count to the
+	value one), but the other CPU's rcu_barrier_func() invocations
+	are delayed for a full grace period? Couldn't this result in
+	rcu_barrier() returning prematurely?
+
+The current rcu_barrier() implementation is more complex, due to the need
+to avoid disturbing idle CPUs (especially on battery-powered systems)
+and the need to minimally disturb non-idle CPUs in real-time systems.
+However, the code above illustrates the concepts.
+
+
+rcu_barrier() Summary
+
+The rcu_barrier() primitive has seen relatively little use, since most
+code using RCU is in the core kernel rather than in modules. However, if
+you are using RCU from an unloadable module, you need to use rcu_barrier()
+so that your module may be safely unloaded.
+
+
+Answers to Quick Quizzes
+
+Quick Quiz #1: Is there any other situation where rcu_barrier() might
+	be required?
+
+Answer: Interestingly enough, rcu_barrier() was not originally
+	implemented for module unloading. Nikita Danilov was using
+	RCU in a filesystem, which resulted in a similar situation at
+	filesystem-unmount time. Dipankar Sarma coded up rcu_barrier()
+	in response, so that Nikita could invoke it during the
+	filesystem-unmount process.
+
+	Much later, yours truly hit the RCU module-unload problem when
+	implementing rcutorture, and found that rcu_barrier() solves
+	this problem as well.
+
+Quick Quiz #2: What happens if CPU 0's rcu_barrier_func() executes
+	immediately (thus incrementing rcu_barrier_cpu_count to the
+	value one), but the other CPU's rcu_barrier_func() invocations
+	are delayed for a full grace period? Couldn't this result in
+	rcu_barrier() returning prematurely?
+
+Answer: This cannot happen. The reason is that on_each_cpu() has its last
+	argument, the wait flag, set to "1". This flag is passed through
+	to smp_call_function() and further to smp_call_function_on_cpu(),
+	causing this latter to spin until the cross-CPU invocation of
+	rcu_barrier_func() has completed. This by itself would prevent
+	a grace period from completing on non-CONFIG_PREEMPT kernels,
+	since each CPU must undergo a context switch (or other quiescent
+	state) before the grace period can complete. However, this is
+	of no use in CONFIG_PREEMPT kernels.
+
+	Therefore, on_each_cpu() disables preemption across its call
+	to smp_call_function() and also across the local call to
+	rcu_barrier_func(). This prevents the local CPU from context
+	switching, again preventing grace periods from completing. This
+	means that all CPUs have executed rcu_barrier_func() before
+	the first rcu_barrier_callback() can possibly execute, in turn
+	preventing rcu_barrier_cpu_count from prematurely reaching zero.
+
+	Currently, -rt implementations of RCU keep but a single global
+	queue for RCU callbacks, and thus do not suffer from this
+	problem. However, when the -rt RCU eventually does have per-CPU
+	callback queues, things will have to change. One simple change
+	is to add an rcu_read_lock() before line 8 of rcu_barrier()
+	and an rcu_read_unlock() after line 8 of this same function. If
+	you can think of a better change, please let me know!

+Using hlist_nulls to protect read-mostly linked lists and
+objects using SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU allocations.
+
+Please read the basics in Documentation/RCU/listRCU.txt
+
+Using special makers (called 'nulls') is a convenient way
+to solve following problem :
+
+A typical RCU linked list managing objects which are
+allocated with SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU kmem_cache can
+use following algos :
+
+1) Lookup algo
+--------------
+rcu_read_lock()
+begin:
+obj = lockless_lookup(key);
+if (obj) {
+  if (!try_get_ref(obj)) // might fail for free objects
+    goto begin;
+  /*
+   * Because a writer could delete object, and a writer could
+   * reuse these object before the RCU grace period, we
+   * must check key after getting the reference on object
+   */
+  if (obj->key != key) { // not the object we expected
+     put_ref(obj);
+     goto begin;
+   }
+}
+rcu_read_unlock();
+
+Beware that lockless_lookup(key) cannot use traditional hlist_for_each_entry_rcu()
+but a version with an additional memory barrier (smp_rmb())
+
+lockless_lookup(key)
+{
+   struct hlist_node *node, *next;
+   for (pos = rcu_dereference((head)->first);
+          pos && ({ next = pos->next; smp_rmb(); prefetch(next); 1; }) &&
+          ({ tpos = hlist_entry(pos, typeof(*tpos), member); 1; });
+          pos = rcu_dereference(next))
+      if (obj->key == key)
+         return obj;
+   return NULL;
+
+And note the traditional hlist_for_each_entry_rcu() misses this smp_rmb() :
+
+   struct hlist_node *node;
+   for (pos = rcu_dereference((head)->first);
+		pos && ({ prefetch(pos->next); 1; }) &&
+		({ tpos = hlist_entry(pos, typeof(*tpos), member); 1; });
+		pos = rcu_dereference(pos->next))
+      if (obj->key == key)
+         return obj;
+   return NULL;
+}
+
+Quoting Corey Minyard :
+
+"If the object is moved from one list to another list in-between the
+ time the hash is calculated and the next field is accessed, and the
+ object has moved to the end of a new list, the traversal will not
+ complete properly on the list it should have, since the object will
+ be on the end of the new list and there's not a way to tell it's on a
+ new list and restart the list traversal.  I think that this can be
+ solved by pre-fetching the "next" field (with proper barriers) before
+ checking the key."
+
+2) Insert algo :
+----------------
+
+We need to make sure a reader cannot read the new 'obj->obj_next' value
+and previous value of 'obj->key'. Or else, an item could be deleted
+from a chain, and inserted into another chain. If new chain was empty
+before the move, 'next' pointer is NULL, and lockless reader can
+not detect it missed following items in original chain.
+
+/*
+ * Please note that new inserts are done at the head of list,
+ * not in the middle or end.
+ */
+obj = kmem_cache_alloc(...);
+lock_chain(); // typically a spin_lock()
+obj->key = key;
+/*
+ * we need to make sure obj->key is updated before obj->next
+ * or obj->refcnt
+ */
+smp_wmb();
+atomic_set(&obj->refcnt, 1);
+hlist_add_head_rcu(&obj->obj_node, list);
+unlock_chain(); // typically a spin_unlock()
+
+
+3) Remove algo
+--------------
+Nothing special here, we can use a standard RCU hlist deletion.
+But thanks to SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU, beware a deleted object can be reused
+very very fast (before the end of RCU grace period)
+
+if (put_last_reference_on(obj) {
+   lock_chain(); // typically a spin_lock()
+   hlist_del_init_rcu(&obj->obj_node);
+   unlock_chain(); // typically a spin_unlock()
+   kmem_cache_free(cachep, obj);
+}
+
+
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
+With hlist_nulls we can avoid extra smp_rmb() in lockless_lookup()
+and extra smp_wmb() in insert function.
+
+For example, if we choose to store the slot number as the 'nulls'
+end-of-list marker for each slot of the hash table, we can detect
+a race (some writer did a delete and/or a move of an object
+to another chain) checking the final 'nulls' value if
+the lookup met the end of chain. If final 'nulls' value
+is not the slot number, then we must restart the lookup at
+the beginning. If the object was moved to the same chain,
+then the reader doesn't care : It might eventually
+scan the list again without harm.
+
+
+1) lookup algo
+
+ head = &table[slot];
+ rcu_read_lock();
+begin:
+ hlist_nulls_for_each_entry_rcu(obj, node, head, member) {
+   if (obj->key == key) {
+      if (!try_get_ref(obj)) // might fail for free objects
+         goto begin;
+      if (obj->key != key) { // not the object we expected
+         put_ref(obj);
+         goto begin;
+      }
+  goto out;
+ }
+/*
+ * if the nulls value we got at the end of this lookup is
+ * not the expected one, we must restart lookup.
+ * We probably met an item that was moved to another chain.
+ */
+ if (get_nulls_value(node) != slot)
+   goto begin;
+ obj = NULL;
+
+out:
+ rcu_read_unlock();
+
+2) Insert function :
+--------------------
+
+/*
+ * Please note that new inserts are done at the head of list,
+ * not in the middle or end.
+ */
+obj = kmem_cache_alloc(cachep);
+lock_chain(); // typically a spin_lock()
+obj->key = key;
+/*
+ * changes to obj->key must be visible before refcnt one
+ */
+smp_wmb();
+atomic_set(&obj->refcnt, 1);
+/*
+ * insert obj in RCU way (readers might be traversing chain)
+ */
+hlist_nulls_add_head_rcu(&obj->obj_node, list);

+Reference-count design for elements of lists/arrays protected by RCU.
+
+
+Please note that the percpu-ref feature is likely your first
+stop if you need to combine reference counts and RCU.  Please see
+include/linux/percpu-refcount.h for more information.  However, in
+those unusual cases where percpu-ref would consume too much memory,
+please read on.
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Reference counting on elements of lists which are protected by traditional
+reader/writer spinlocks or semaphores are straightforward:
+
+1.				2.
+add()				search_and_reference()
+{				{
+    alloc_object		    read_lock(&list_lock);
+    ...				    search_for_element
+    atomic_set(&el->rc, 1);	    atomic_inc(&el->rc);
+    write_lock(&list_lock);	     ...
+    add_element			    read_unlock(&list_lock);
+    ...				    ...
+    write_unlock(&list_lock);	}
+}
+
+3.					4.
+release_referenced()			delete()
+{					{
+    ...					    write_lock(&list_lock);
+    atomic_dec(&el->rc, relfunc)	    ...
+    ...					    remove_element
+}					    write_unlock(&list_lock);
+ 					    ...
+					    if (atomic_dec_and_test(&el->rc))
+					        kfree(el);
+					    ...
+					}
+
+If this list/array is made lock free using RCU as in changing the
+write_lock() in add() and delete() to spin_lock() and changing read_lock()
+in search_and_reference() to rcu_read_lock(), the atomic_inc() in
+search_and_reference() could potentially hold reference to an element which
+has already been deleted from the list/array.  Use atomic_inc_not_zero()
+in this scenario as follows:
+
+1.					2.
+add()					search_and_reference()
+{					{
+    alloc_object			    rcu_read_lock();
+    ...					    search_for_element
+    atomic_set(&el->rc, 1);		    if (!atomic_inc_not_zero(&el->rc)) {
+    spin_lock(&list_lock);		        rcu_read_unlock();
+					        return FAIL;
+    add_element				    }
+    ...					    ...
+    spin_unlock(&list_lock);		    rcu_read_unlock();
+}					}
+3.					4.
+release_referenced()			delete()
+{					{
+    ...					    spin_lock(&list_lock);
+    if (atomic_dec_and_test(&el->rc))       ...
+        call_rcu(&el->head, el_free);       remove_element
+    ...                                     spin_unlock(&list_lock);
+} 					    ...
+					    if (atomic_dec_and_test(&el->rc))
+					        call_rcu(&el->head, el_free);
+					    ...
+					}
+
+Sometimes, a reference to the element needs to be obtained in the
+update (write) stream.  In such cases, atomic_inc_not_zero() might be
+overkill, since we hold the update-side spinlock.  One might instead
+use atomic_inc() in such cases.
+
+It is not always convenient to deal with "FAIL" in the
+search_and_reference() code path.  In such cases, the
+atomic_dec_and_test() may be moved from delete() to el_free()
+as follows:
+
+1.					2.
+add()					search_and_reference()
+{					{
+    alloc_object			    rcu_read_lock();
+    ...					    search_for_element
+    atomic_set(&el->rc, 1);		    atomic_inc(&el->rc);
+    spin_lock(&list_lock);		    ...
+
+    add_element				    rcu_read_unlock();
+    ...					}
+    spin_unlock(&list_lock);		4.
+}					delete()
+3.					{
+release_referenced()			    spin_lock(&list_lock);
+{					    ...
+    ...					    remove_element
+    if (atomic_dec_and_test(&el->rc))       spin_unlock(&list_lock);
+        kfree(el);			    ...
+    ...                                     call_rcu(&el->head, el_free);
+} 					    ...
+5.					}
+void el_free(struct rcu_head *rhp)
+{
+    release_referenced();
+}
+
+The key point is that the initial reference added by add() is not removed
+until after a grace period has elapsed following removal.  This means that
+search_and_reference() cannot find this element, which means that the value
+of el->rc cannot increase.  Thus, once it reaches zero, there are no
+readers that can or ever will be able to reference the element.  The
+element can therefore safely be freed.  This in turn guarantees that if
+any reader finds the element, that reader may safely acquire a reference
+without checking the value of the reference counter.
+
+In cases where delete() can sleep, synchronize_rcu() can be called from
+delete(), so that el_free() can be subsumed into delete as follows:
+
+4.
+delete()
+{
+    spin_lock(&list_lock);
+    ...
+    remove_element
+    spin_unlock(&list_lock);
+    ...
+    synchronize_rcu();
+    if (atomic_dec_and_test(&el->rc))
+    	kfree(el);
+    ...

+Using RCU's CPU Stall Detector
+
+This document first discusses what sorts of issues RCU's CPU stall
+detector can locate, and then discusses kernel parameters and Kconfig
+options that can be used to fine-tune the detector's operation.  Finally,
+this document explains the stall detector's "splat" format.
+
+
+What Causes RCU CPU Stall Warnings?
+
+So your kernel printed an RCU CPU stall warning.  The next question is
+"What caused it?"  The following problems can result in RCU CPU stall
+warnings:
+
+o	A CPU looping in an RCU read-side critical section.
+
+o	A CPU looping with interrupts disabled.
+
+o	A CPU looping with preemption disabled.  This condition can
+	result in RCU-sched stalls and, if ksoftirqd is in use, RCU-bh
+	stalls.
+
+o	A CPU looping with bottom halves disabled.  This condition can
+	result in RCU-sched and RCU-bh stalls.
+
+o	For !CONFIG_PREEMPT kernels, a CPU looping anywhere in the kernel
+	without invoking schedule().  If the looping in the kernel is
+	really expected and desirable behavior, you might need to add
+	some calls to cond_resched().
+
+o	Booting Linux using a console connection that is too slow to
+	keep up with the boot-time console-message rate.  For example,
+	a 115Kbaud serial console can be -way- too slow to keep up
+	with boot-time message rates, and will frequently result in
+	RCU CPU stall warning messages.  Especially if you have added
+	debug printk()s.
+
+o	Anything that prevents RCU's grace-period kthreads from running.
+	This can result in the "All QSes seen" console-log message.
+	This message will include information on when the kthread last
+	ran and how often it should be expected to run.  It can also
+	result in the "rcu_.*kthread starved for" console-log message,
+	which will include additional debugging information.
+
+o	A CPU-bound real-time task in a CONFIG_PREEMPT kernel, which might
+	happen to preempt a low-priority task in the middle of an RCU
+	read-side critical section.   This is especially damaging if
+	that low-priority task is not permitted to run on any other CPU,
+	in which case the next RCU grace period can never complete, which
+	will eventually cause the system to run out of memory and hang.
+	While the system is in the process of running itself out of
+	memory, you might see stall-warning messages.
+
+o	A CPU-bound real-time task in a CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT kernel that
+	is running at a higher priority than the RCU softirq threads.
+	This will prevent RCU callbacks from ever being invoked,
+	and in a CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU kernel will further prevent
+	RCU grace periods from ever completing.  Either way, the
+	system will eventually run out of memory and hang.  In the
+	CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU case, you might see stall-warning
+	messages.
+
+o	A periodic interrupt whose handler takes longer than the time
+	interval between successive pairs of interrupts.  This can
+	prevent RCU's kthreads and softirq handlers from running.
+	Note that certain high-overhead debugging options, for example
+	the function_graph tracer, can result in interrupt handler taking
+	considerably longer than normal, which can in turn result in
+	RCU CPU stall warnings.
+
+o	Testing a workload on a fast system, tuning the stall-warning
+	timeout down to just barely avoid RCU CPU stall warnings, and then
+	running the same workload with the same stall-warning timeout on a
+	slow system.  Note that thermal throttling and on-demand governors
+	can cause a single system to be sometimes fast and sometimes slow!
+
+o	A hardware or software issue shuts off the scheduler-clock
+	interrupt on a CPU that is not in dyntick-idle mode.  This
+	problem really has happened, and seems to be most likely to
+	result in RCU CPU stall warnings for CONFIG_NO_HZ_COMMON=n kernels.
+
+o	A bug in the RCU implementation.
+
+o	A hardware failure.  This is quite unlikely, but has occurred
+	at least once in real life.  A CPU failed in a running system,
+	becoming unresponsive, but not causing an immediate crash.
+	This resulted in a series of RCU CPU stall warnings, eventually
+	leading the realization that the CPU had failed.
+
+The RCU, RCU-sched, RCU-bh, and RCU-tasks implementations have CPU stall
+warning.  Note that SRCU does -not- have CPU stall warnings.  Please note
+that RCU only detects CPU stalls when there is a grace period in progress.
+No grace period, no CPU stall warnings.
+
+To diagnose the cause of the stall, inspect the stack traces.
+The offending function will usually be near the top of the stack.
+If you have a series of stall warnings from a single extended stall,
+comparing the stack traces can often help determine where the stall
+is occurring, which will usually be in the function nearest the top of
+that portion of the stack which remains the same from trace to trace.
+If you can reliably trigger the stall, ftrace can be quite helpful.
+
+RCU bugs can often be debugged with the help of CONFIG_RCU_TRACE
+and with RCU's event tracing.  For information on RCU's event tracing,
+see include/trace/events/rcu.h.
+
+
+Fine-Tuning the RCU CPU Stall Detector
+
+The rcuupdate.rcu_cpu_stall_suppress module parameter disables RCU's
+CPU stall detector, which detects conditions that unduly delay RCU grace
+periods.  This module parameter enables CPU stall detection by default,
+but may be overridden via boot-time parameter or at runtime via sysfs.
+The stall detector's idea of what constitutes "unduly delayed" is
+controlled by a set of kernel configuration variables and cpp macros:
+
+CONFIG_RCU_CPU_STALL_TIMEOUT
+
+	This kernel configuration parameter defines the period of time
+	that RCU will wait from the beginning of a grace period until it
+	issues an RCU CPU stall warning.  This time period is normally
+	21 seconds.
+
+	This configuration parameter may be changed at runtime via the
+	/sys/module/rcupdate/parameters/rcu_cpu_stall_timeout, however
+	this parameter is checked only at the beginning of a cycle.
+	So if you are 10 seconds into a 40-second stall, setting this
+	sysfs parameter to (say) five will shorten the timeout for the
+	-next- stall, or the following warning for the current stall
+	(assuming the stall lasts long enough).  It will not affect the
+	timing of the next warning for the current stall.
+
+	Stall-warning messages may be enabled and disabled completely via
+	/sys/module/rcupdate/parameters/rcu_cpu_stall_suppress.
+
+RCU_STALL_DELAY_DELTA
+
+	Although the lockdep facility is extremely useful, it does add
+	some overhead.  Therefore, under CONFIG_PROVE_RCU, the
+	RCU_STALL_DELAY_DELTA macro allows five extra seconds before
+	giving an RCU CPU stall warning message.  (This is a cpp
+	macro, not a kernel configuration parameter.)
+
+RCU_STALL_RAT_DELAY
+
+	The CPU stall detector tries to make the offending CPU print its
+	own warnings, as this often gives better-quality stack traces.
+	However, if the offending CPU does not detect its own stall in
+	the number of jiffies specified by RCU_STALL_RAT_DELAY, then
+	some other CPU will complain.  This delay is normally set to
+	two jiffies.  (This is a cpp macro, not a kernel configuration
+	parameter.)
+
+rcupdate.rcu_task_stall_timeout
+
+	This boot/sysfs parameter controls the RCU-tasks stall warning
+	interval.  A value of zero or less suppresses RCU-tasks stall
+	warnings.  A positive value sets the stall-warning interval
+	in jiffies.  An RCU-tasks stall warning starts with the line:
+
+		INFO: rcu_tasks detected stalls on tasks:
+
+	And continues with the output of sched_show_task() for each
+	task stalling the current RCU-tasks grace period.
+
+
+Interpreting RCU's CPU Stall-Detector "Splats"
+
+For non-RCU-tasks flavors of RCU, when a CPU detects that it is stalling,
+it will print a message similar to the following:
+
+	INFO: rcu_sched detected stalls on CPUs/tasks:
+	2-...: (3 GPs behind) idle=06c/0/0 softirq=1453/1455 fqs=0
+	16-...: (0 ticks this GP) idle=81c/0/0 softirq=764/764 fqs=0
+	(detected by 32, t=2603 jiffies, g=7075, q=625)
+
+This message indicates that CPU 32 detected that CPUs 2 and 16 were both
+causing stalls, and that the stall was affecting RCU-sched.  This message
+will normally be followed by stack dumps for each CPU.  Please note that
+PREEMPT_RCU builds can be stalled by tasks as well as by CPUs, and that
+the tasks will be indicated by PID, for example, "P3421".  It is even
+possible for a rcu_preempt_state stall to be caused by both CPUs -and-
+tasks, in which case the offending CPUs and tasks will all be called
+out in the list.
+
+CPU 2's "(3 GPs behind)" indicates that this CPU has not interacted with
+the RCU core for the past three grace periods.  In contrast, CPU 16's "(0
+ticks this GP)" indicates that this CPU has not taken any scheduling-clock
+interrupts during the current stalled grace period.
+
+The "idle=" portion of the message prints the dyntick-idle state.
+The hex number before the first "/" is the low-order 12 bits of the
+dynticks counter, which will have an even-numbered value if the CPU
+is in dyntick-idle mode and an odd-numbered value otherwise.  The hex
+number between the two "/"s is the value of the nesting, which will be
+a small non-negative number if in the idle loop (as shown above) and a
+very large positive number otherwise.
+
+The "softirq=" portion of the message tracks the number of RCU softirq
+handlers that the stalled CPU has executed.  The number before the "/"
+is the number that had executed since boot at the time that this CPU
+last noted the beginning of a grace period, which might be the current
+(stalled) grace period, or it might be some earlier grace period (for
+example, if the CPU might have been in dyntick-idle mode for an extended
+time period.  The number after the "/" is the number that have executed
+since boot until the current time.  If this latter number stays constant
+across repeated stall-warning messages, it is possible that RCU's softirq
+handlers are no longer able to execute on this CPU.  This can happen if
+the stalled CPU is spinning with interrupts are disabled, or, in -rt
+kernels, if a high-priority process is starving RCU's softirq handler.
+
+The "fps=" shows the number of force-quiescent-state idle/offline
+detection passes that the grace-period kthread has made across this
+CPU since the last time that this CPU noted the beginning of a grace
+period.
+
+The "detected by" line indicates which CPU detected the stall (in this
+case, CPU 32), how many jiffies have elapsed since the start of the grace
+period (in this case 2603), the grace-period sequence number (7075), and
+an estimate of the total number of RCU callbacks queued across all CPUs
+(625 in this case).
+
+In kernels with CONFIG_RCU_FAST_NO_HZ, more information is printed
+for each CPU:
+
+	0: (64628 ticks this GP) idle=dd5/3fffffffffffffff/0 softirq=82/543 last_accelerate: a345/d342 nonlazy_posted: 25 .D
+
+The "last_accelerate:" prints the low-order 16 bits (in hex) of the
+jiffies counter when this CPU last invoked rcu_try_advance_all_cbs()
+from rcu_needs_cpu() or last invoked rcu_accelerate_cbs() from
+rcu_prepare_for_idle().  The "nonlazy_posted:" prints the number
+of non-lazy callbacks posted since the last call to rcu_needs_cpu().
+Finally, an "L" indicates that there are currently no non-lazy callbacks
+("." is printed otherwise, as shown above) and "D" indicates that
+dyntick-idle processing is enabled ("." is printed otherwise, for example,
+if disabled via the "nohz=" kernel boot parameter).
+
+If the grace period ends just as the stall warning starts printing,
+there will be a spurious stall-warning message, which will include
+the following:
+
+	INFO: Stall ended before state dump start
+
+This is rare, but does happen from time to time in real life.  It is also
+possible for a zero-jiffy stall to be flagged in this case, depending
+on how the stall warning and the grace-period initialization happen to
+interact.  Please note that it is not possible to entirely eliminate this
+sort of false positive without resorting to things like stop_machine(),
+which is overkill for this sort of problem.
+
+If all CPUs and tasks have passed through quiescent states, but the
+grace period has nevertheless failed to end, the stall-warning splat
+will include something like the following:
+
+	All QSes seen, last rcu_preempt kthread activity 23807 (4297905177-4297881370), jiffies_till_next_fqs=3, root ->qsmask 0x0
+
+The "23807" indicates that it has been more than 23 thousand jiffies
+since the grace-period kthread ran.  The "jiffies_till_next_fqs"
+indicates how frequently that kthread should run, giving the number
+of jiffies between force-quiescent-state scans, in this case three,
+which is way less than 23807.  Finally, the root rcu_node structure's
+->qsmask field is printed, which will normally be zero.
+
+If the relevant grace-period kthread has been unable to run prior to
+the stall warning, as was the case in the "All QSes seen" line above,
+the following additional line is printed:
+
+	kthread starved for 23807 jiffies! g7075 f0x0 RCU_GP_WAIT_FQS(3) ->state=0x1 ->cpu=5
+
+Starving the grace-period kthreads of CPU time can of course result
+in RCU CPU stall warnings even when all CPUs and tasks have passed
+through the required quiescent states.  The "g" number shows the current
+grace-period sequence number, the "f" precedes the ->gp_flags command
+to the grace-period kthread, the "RCU_GP_WAIT_FQS" indicates that the
+kthread is waiting for a short timeout, the "state" precedes value of the
+task_struct ->state field, and the "cpu" indicates that the grace-period
+kthread last ran on CPU 5.
+
+
+Multiple Warnings From One Stall
+
+If a stall lasts long enough, multiple stall-warning messages will be
+printed for it.  The second and subsequent messages are printed at
+longer intervals, so that the time between (say) the first and second
+message will be about three times the interval between the beginning
+of the stall and the first message.
+
+
+Stall Warnings for Expedited Grace Periods
+
+If an expedited grace period detects a stall, it will place a message
+like the following in dmesg:
+
+	INFO: rcu_sched detected expedited stalls on CPUs/tasks: { 7-... } 21119 jiffies s: 73 root: 0x2/.
+
+This indicates that CPU 7 has failed to respond to a reschedule IPI.
+The three periods (".") following the CPU number indicate that the CPU
+is online (otherwise the first period would instead have been "O"),
+that the CPU was online at the beginning of the expedited grace period
+(otherwise the second period would have instead been "o"), and that
+the CPU has been online at least once since boot (otherwise, the third
+period would instead have been "N").  The number before the "jiffies"
+indicates that the expedited grace period has been going on for 21,119
+jiffies.  The number following the "s:" indicates that the expedited
+grace-period sequence counter is 73.  The fact that this last value is
+odd indicates that an expedited grace period is in flight.  The number
+following "root:" is a bitmask that indicates which children of the root
+rcu_node structure correspond to CPUs and/or tasks that are blocking the
+current expedited grace period.  If the tree had more than one level,
+additional hex numbers would be printed for the states of the other
+rcu_node structures in the tree.
+
+As with normal grace periods, PREEMPT_RCU builds can be stalled by
+tasks as well as by CPUs, and that the tasks will be indicated by PID,
+for example, "P3421".
+
+It is entirely possible to see stall warnings from normal and from
+expedited grace periods at about the same time during the same run.

+RCU Torture Test Operation
+
+
+CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST
+
+The CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST config option is available for all RCU
+implementations.  It creates an rcutorture kernel module that can
+be loaded to run a torture test.  The test periodically outputs
+status messages via printk(), which can be examined via the dmesg
+command (perhaps grepping for "torture").  The test is started
+when the module is loaded, and stops when the module is unloaded.
+
+
+MODULE PARAMETERS
+
+This module has the following parameters:
+
+fqs_duration	Duration (in microseconds) of artificially induced bursts
+		of force_quiescent_state() invocations.  In RCU
+		implementations having force_quiescent_state(), these
+		bursts help force races between forcing a given grace
+		period and that grace period ending on its own.
+
+fqs_holdoff	Holdoff time (in microseconds) between consecutive calls
+		to force_quiescent_state() within a burst.
+
+fqs_stutter	Wait time (in seconds) between consecutive bursts
+		of calls to force_quiescent_state().
+
+gp_normal	Make the fake writers use normal synchronous grace-period
+		primitives.
+
+gp_exp		Make the fake writers use expedited synchronous grace-period
+		primitives.  If both gp_normal and gp_exp are set, or
+		if neither gp_normal nor gp_exp are set, then randomly
+		choose the primitive so that about 50% are normal and
+		50% expedited.  By default, neither are set, which
+		gives best overall test coverage.
+
+irqreader	Says to invoke RCU readers from irq level.  This is currently
+		done via timers.  Defaults to "1" for variants of RCU that
+		permit this.  (Or, more accurately, variants of RCU that do
+		-not- permit this know to ignore this variable.)
+
+n_barrier_cbs	If this is nonzero, RCU barrier testing will be conducted,
+		in which case n_barrier_cbs specifies the number of
+		RCU callbacks (and corresponding kthreads) to use for
+		this testing.  The value cannot be negative.  If you
+		specify this to be non-zero when torture_type indicates a
+		synchronous RCU implementation (one for which a member of
+		the synchronize_rcu() rather than the call_rcu() family is
+		used -- see the documentation for torture_type below), an
+		error will be reported and no testing will be carried out.
+
+nfakewriters	This is the number of RCU fake writer threads to run.  Fake
+		writer threads repeatedly use the synchronous "wait for
+		current readers" function of the interface selected by
+		torture_type, with a delay between calls to allow for various
+		different numbers of writers running in parallel.
+		nfakewriters defaults to 4, which provides enough parallelism
+		to trigger special cases caused by multiple writers, such as
+		the synchronize_srcu() early return optimization.
+
+nreaders	This is the number of RCU reading threads supported.
+		The default is twice the number of CPUs.  Why twice?
+		To properly exercise RCU implementations with preemptible
+		read-side critical sections.
+
+onoff_interval
+		The number of seconds between each attempt to execute a
+		randomly selected CPU-hotplug operation.  Defaults to
+		zero, which disables CPU hotplugging.  In HOTPLUG_CPU=n
+		kernels, rcutorture will silently refuse to do any
+		CPU-hotplug operations regardless of what value is
+		specified for onoff_interval.
+
+onoff_holdoff	The number of seconds to wait until starting CPU-hotplug
+		operations.  This would normally only be used when
+		rcutorture was built into the kernel and started
+		automatically at boot time, in which case it is useful
+		in order to avoid confusing boot-time code with CPUs
+		coming and going.
+
+shuffle_interval
+		The number of seconds to keep the test threads affinitied
+		to a particular subset of the CPUs, defaults to 3 seconds.
+		Used in conjunction with test_no_idle_hz.
+
+shutdown_secs	The number of seconds to run the test before terminating
+		the test and powering off the system.  The default is
+		zero, which disables test termination and system shutdown.
+		This capability is useful for automated testing.
+
+stall_cpu	The number of seconds that a CPU should be stalled while
+		within both an rcu_read_lock() and a preempt_disable().
+		This stall happens only once per rcutorture run.
+		If you need multiple stalls, use modprobe and rmmod to
+		repeatedly run rcutorture.  The default for stall_cpu
+		is zero, which prevents rcutorture from stalling a CPU.
+
+		Note that attempts to rmmod rcutorture while the stall
+		is ongoing will hang, so be careful what value you
+		choose for this module parameter!  In addition, too-large
+		values for stall_cpu might well induce failures and
+		warnings in other parts of the kernel.  You have been
+		warned!
+
+stall_cpu_holdoff
+		The number of seconds to wait after rcutorture starts
+		before stalling a CPU.  Defaults to 10 seconds.
+
+stat_interval	The number of seconds between output of torture
+		statistics (via printk()).  Regardless of the interval,
+		statistics are printed when the module is unloaded.
+		Setting the interval to zero causes the statistics to
+		be printed -only- when the module is unloaded, and this
+		is the default.
+
+stutter		The length of time to run the test before pausing for this
+		same period of time.  Defaults to "stutter=5", so as
+		to run and pause for (roughly) five-second intervals.
+		Specifying "stutter=0" causes the test to run continuously
+		without pausing, which is the old default behavior.
+
+test_boost	Whether or not to test the ability of RCU to do priority
+		boosting.  Defaults to "test_boost=1", which performs
+		RCU priority-inversion testing only if the selected
+		RCU implementation supports priority boosting.  Specifying
+		"test_boost=0" never performs RCU priority-inversion
+		testing.  Specifying "test_boost=2" performs RCU
+		priority-inversion testing even if the selected RCU
+		implementation does not support RCU priority boosting,
+		which can be used to test rcutorture's ability to
+		carry out RCU priority-inversion testing.
+
+test_boost_interval
+		The number of seconds in an RCU priority-inversion test
+		cycle.	Defaults to "test_boost_interval=7".  It is
+		usually wise for this value to be relatively prime to
+		the value selected for "stutter".
+
+test_boost_duration
+		The number of seconds to do RCU priority-inversion testing
+		within any given "test_boost_interval".  Defaults to
+		"test_boost_duration=4".
+
+test_no_idle_hz	Whether or not to test the ability of RCU to operate in
+		a kernel that disables the scheduling-clock interrupt to
+		idle CPUs.  Boolean parameter, "1" to test, "0" otherwise.
+		Defaults to omitting this test.
+
+torture_type	The type of RCU to test, with string values as follows:
+
+		"rcu":  rcu_read_lock(), rcu_read_unlock() and call_rcu(),
+			along with expedited, synchronous, and polling
+			variants.
+
+		"rcu_bh": rcu_read_lock_bh(), rcu_read_unlock_bh(), and
+			call_rcu_bh(), along with expedited and synchronous
+			variants.
+
+		"rcu_busted": This tests an intentionally incorrect version
+			of RCU in order to help test rcutorture itself.
+
+		"srcu": srcu_read_lock(), srcu_read_unlock() and
+			call_srcu(), along with expedited and
+			synchronous variants.
+
+		"sched": preempt_disable(), preempt_enable(), and
+			call_rcu_sched(), along with expedited,
+			synchronous, and polling variants.
+
+		"tasks": voluntary context switch and call_rcu_tasks(),
+			along with expedited and synchronous variants.
+
+		Defaults to "rcu".
+
+verbose		Enable debug printk()s.  Default is disabled.
+
+
+OUTPUT
+
+The statistics output is as follows:

+
+The command "dmesg | grep torture:" will extract this information on
+most systems.  On more esoteric configurations, it may be necessary to
+use other commands to access the output of the printk()s used by
+the RCU torture test.  The printk()s use KERN_ALERT, so they should
+be evident.  ;-)
+
+The first and last lines show the rcutorture module parameters, and the
+last line shows either "SUCCESS" or "FAILURE", based on rcutorture's
+automatic determination as to whether RCU operated correctly.
+
+The entries are as follows:
+
+o	"rtc": The hexadecimal address of the structure currently visible
+	to readers.
+
+o	"ver": The number of times since boot that the RCU writer task
+	has changed the structure visible to readers.
+
+o	"tfle": If non-zero, indicates that the "torture freelist"
+	containing structures to be placed into the "rtc" area is empty.
+	This condition is important, since it can fool you into thinking
+	that RCU is working when it is not.  :-/
+
+o	"rta": Number of structures allocated from the torture freelist.
+
+o	"rtaf": Number of allocations from the torture freelist that have
+	failed due to the list being empty.  It is not unusual for this
+	to be non-zero, but it is bad for it to be a large fraction of
+	the value indicated by "rta".
+
+o	"rtf": Number of frees into the torture freelist.
+
+o	"rtmbe": A non-zero value indicates that rcutorture believes that
+	rcu_assign_pointer() and rcu_dereference() are not working
+	correctly.  This value should be zero.
+
+o	"rtbe": A non-zero value indicates that one of the rcu_barrier()
+	family of functions is not working correctly.
+
+o	"rtbke": rcutorture was unable to create the real-time kthreads
+	used to force RCU priority inversion.  This value should be zero.
+
+o	"rtbre": Although rcutorture successfully created the kthreads
+	used to force RCU priority inversion, it was unable to set them
+	to the real-time priority level of 1.  This value should be zero.
+
+o	"rtbf": The number of times that RCU priority boosting failed
+	to resolve RCU priority inversion.
+
+o	"rtb": The number of times that rcutorture attempted to force
+	an RCU priority inversion condition.  If you are testing RCU
+	priority boosting via the "test_boost" module parameter, this
+	value should be non-zero.
+
+o	"nt": The number of times rcutorture ran RCU read-side code from
+	within a timer handler.  This value should be non-zero only
+	if you specified the "irqreader" module parameter.
+
+o	"Reader Pipe": Histogram of "ages" of structures seen by readers.
+	If any entries past the first two are non-zero, RCU is broken.
+	And rcutorture prints the error flag string "!!!" to make sure
+	you notice.  The age of a newly allocated structure is zero,
+	it becomes one when removed from reader visibility, and is
+	incremented once per grace period subsequently -- and is freed
+	after passing through (RCU_TORTURE_PIPE_LEN-2) grace periods.
+
+	The output displayed above was taken from a correctly working
+	RCU.  If you want to see what it looks like when broken, break
+	it yourself.  ;-)
+
+o	"Reader Batch": Another histogram of "ages" of structures seen
+	by readers, but in terms of counter flips (or batches) rather
+	than in terms of grace periods.  The legal number of non-zero
+	entries is again two.  The reason for this separate view is that
+	it is sometimes easier to get the third entry to show up in the
+	"Reader Batch" list than in the "Reader Pipe" list.
+
+o	"Free-Block Circulation": Shows the number of torture structures
+	that have reached a given point in the pipeline.  The first element
+	should closely correspond to the number of structures allocated,
+	the second to the number that have been removed from reader view,
+	and all but the last remaining to the corresponding number of
+	passes through a grace period.  The last entry should be zero,
+	as it is only incremented if a torture structure's counter
+	somehow gets incremented farther than it should.
+
+Different implementations of RCU can provide implementation-specific
+additional information.  For example, Tree SRCU provides the following

+This line shows the per-CPU counter state, in this case for Tree SRCU

+"srcu-").  The numbers in parentheses are the values of the "old" and
+"current" counters for the corresponding CPU.  The "idx" value maps the
+"old" and "current" values to the underlying array, and is useful for
+debugging.  The final "T" entry contains the totals of the counters.
+
+
+USAGE
+
+The following script may be used to torture RCU:
+
+	#!/bin/sh
+
+	modprobe rcutorture
+	sleep 3600
+	rmmod rcutorture
+	dmesg | grep torture:
+
+The output can be manually inspected for the error flag of "!!!".
+One could of course create a more elaborate script that automatically
+checked for such errors.  The "rmmod" command forces a "SUCCESS",
+"FAILURE", or "RCU_HOTPLUG" indication to be printk()ed.  The first
+two are self-explanatory, while the last indicates that while there
+were no RCU failures, CPU-hotplug problems were detected.
+
+However, the tools/testing/selftests/rcutorture/bin/kvm.sh script
+provides better automation, including automatic failure analysis.
+It assumes a qemu/kvm-enabled platform, and runs guest OSes out of initrd.
+See tools/testing/selftests/rcutorture/doc/initrd.txt for instructions
+on setting up such an initrd.

+What is RCU?
+
+RCU is a synchronization mechanism that was added to the Linux kernel
+during the 2.5 development effort that is optimized for read-mostly
+situations.  Although RCU is actually quite simple once you understand it,
+getting there can sometimes be a challenge.  Part of the problem is that
+most of the past descriptions of RCU have been written with the mistaken
+assumption that there is "one true way" to describe RCU.  Instead,
+the experience has been that different people must take different paths
+to arrive at an understanding of RCU.  This document provides several
+different paths, as follows:
+
+1.	RCU OVERVIEW
+2.	WHAT IS RCU'S CORE API?
+3.	WHAT ARE SOME EXAMPLE USES OF CORE RCU API?
+4.	WHAT IF MY UPDATING THREAD CANNOT BLOCK?
+5.	WHAT ARE SOME SIMPLE IMPLEMENTATIONS OF RCU?
+6.	ANALOGY WITH READER-WRITER LOCKING
+7.	FULL LIST OF RCU APIs
+8.	ANSWERS TO QUICK QUIZZES
+
+People who prefer starting with a conceptual overview should focus on
+Section 1, though most readers will profit by reading this section at
+some point.  People who prefer to start with an API that they can then
+experiment with should focus on Section 2.  People who prefer to start
+with example uses should focus on Sections 3 and 4.  People who need to
+understand the RCU implementation should focus on Section 5, then dive
+into the kernel source code.  People who reason best by analogy should
+focus on Section 6.  Section 7 serves as an index to the docbook API
+documentation, and Section 8 is the traditional answer key.
+
+So, start with the section that makes the most sense to you and your
+preferred method of learning.  If you need to know everything about
+everything, feel free to read the whole thing -- but if you are really
+that type of person, you have perused the source code and will therefore
+never need this document anyway.  ;-)
+
+
+1.  RCU OVERVIEW
+
+The basic idea behind RCU is to split updates into "removal" and
+"reclamation" phases.  The removal phase removes references to data items
+within a data structure (possibly by replacing them with references to
+new versions of these data items), and can run concurrently with readers.
+The reason that it is safe to run the removal phase concurrently with
+readers is the semantics of modern CPUs guarantee that readers will see
+either the old or the new version of the data structure rather than a
+partially updated reference.  The reclamation phase does the work of reclaiming
+(e.g., freeing) the data items removed from the data structure during the
+removal phase.  Because reclaiming data items can disrupt any readers
+concurrently referencing those data items, the reclamation phase must
+not start until readers no longer hold references to those data items.
+
+Splitting the update into removal and reclamation phases permits the
+updater to perform the removal phase immediately, and to defer the
+reclamation phase until all readers active during the removal phase have
+completed, either by blocking until they finish or by registering a
+callback that is invoked after they finish.  Only readers that are active
+during the removal phase need be considered, because any reader starting
+after the removal phase will be unable to gain a reference to the removed
+data items, and therefore cannot be disrupted by the reclamation phase.
+
+So the typical RCU update sequence goes something like the following:
+
+a.	Remove pointers to a data structure, so that subsequent
+	readers cannot gain a reference to it.
+
+b.	Wait for all previous readers to complete their RCU read-side
+	critical sections.
+
+c.	At this point, there cannot be any readers who hold references
+	to the data structure, so it now may safely be reclaimed
+	(e.g., kfree()d).
+
+Step (b) above is the key idea underlying RCU's deferred destruction.
+The ability to wait until all readers are done allows RCU readers to
+use much lighter-weight synchronization, in some cases, absolutely no
+synchronization at all.  In contrast, in more conventional lock-based
+schemes, readers must use heavy-weight synchronization in order to
+prevent an updater from deleting the data structure out from under them.
+This is because lock-based updaters typically update data items in place,
+and must therefore exclude readers.  In contrast, RCU-based updaters
+typically take advantage of the fact that writes to single aligned
+pointers are atomic on modern CPUs, allowing atomic insertion, removal,
+and replacement of data items in a linked structure without disrupting
+readers.  Concurrent RCU readers can then continue accessing the old
+versions, and can dispense with the atomic operations, memory barriers,
+and communications cache misses that are so expensive on present-day
+SMP computer systems, even in absence of lock contention.
+
+In the three-step procedure shown above, the updater is performing both
+the removal and the reclamation step, but it is often helpful for an
+entirely different thread to do the reclamation, as is in fact the case
+in the Linux kernel's directory-entry cache (dcache).  Even if the same
+thread performs both the update step (step (a) above) and the reclamation
+step (step (c) above), it is often helpful to think of them separately.
+For example, RCU readers and updaters need not communicate at all,
+but RCU provides implicit low-overhead communication between readers
+and reclaimers, namely, in step (b) above.
+
+So how the heck can a reclaimer tell when a reader is done, given
+that readers are not doing any sort of synchronization operations???
+Read on to learn about how RCU's API makes this easy.
+
+
+2.  WHAT IS RCU'S CORE API?
+
+The core RCU API is quite small:
+
+a.	rcu_read_lock()
+b.	rcu_read_unlock()
+c.	synchronize_rcu() / call_rcu()
+d.	rcu_assign_pointer()
+e.	rcu_dereference()
+
+There are many other members of the RCU API, but the rest can be
+expressed in terms of these five, though most implementations instead
+express synchronize_rcu() in terms of the call_rcu() callback API.
+
+The five core RCU APIs are described below, the other 18 will be enumerated
+later.  See the kernel docbook documentation for more info, or look directly
+at the function header comments.
+
+rcu_read_lock()
+
+	void rcu_read_lock(void);
+
+	Used by a reader to inform the reclaimer that the reader is
+	entering an RCU read-side critical section.  It is illegal
+	to block while in an RCU read-side critical section, though
+	kernels built with CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU can preempt RCU
+	read-side critical sections.  Any RCU-protected data structure
+	accessed during an RCU read-side critical section is guaranteed to
+	remain unreclaimed for the full duration of that critical section.
+	Reference counts may be used in conjunction with RCU to maintain
+	longer-term references to data structures.
+
+rcu_read_unlock()
+
+	void rcu_read_unlock(void);
+
+	Used by a reader to inform the reclaimer that the reader is
+	exiting an RCU read-side critical section.  Note that RCU
+	read-side critical sections may be nested and/or overlapping.
+
+synchronize_rcu()
+
+	void synchronize_rcu(void);
+
+	Marks the end of updater code and the beginning of reclaimer
+	code.  It does this by blocking until all pre-existing RCU
+	read-side critical sections on all CPUs have completed.
+	Note that synchronize_rcu() will -not- necessarily wait for
+	any subsequent RCU read-side critical sections to complete.
+	For example, consider the following sequence of events:
+
+	         CPU 0                  CPU 1                 CPU 2
+	     ----------------- ------------------------- ---------------
+	 1.  rcu_read_lock()
+	 2.                    enters synchronize_rcu()
+	 3.                                               rcu_read_lock()
+	 4.  rcu_read_unlock()
+	 5.                     exits synchronize_rcu()
+	 6.                                              rcu_read_unlock()
+
+	To reiterate, synchronize_rcu() waits only for ongoing RCU
+	read-side critical sections to complete, not necessarily for
+	any that begin after synchronize_rcu() is invoked.
+
+	Of course, synchronize_rcu() does not necessarily return
+	-immediately- after the last pre-existing RCU read-side critical
+	section completes.  For one thing, there might well be scheduling
+	delays.  For another thing, many RCU implementations process
+	requests in batches in order to improve efficiencies, which can
+	further delay synchronize_rcu().
+
+	Since synchronize_rcu() is the API that must figure out when
+	readers are done, its implementation is key to RCU.  For RCU
+	to be useful in all but the most read-intensive situations,
+	synchronize_rcu()'s overhead must also be quite small.
+
+	The call_rcu() API is a callback form of synchronize_rcu(),
+	and is described in more detail in a later section.  Instead of
+	blocking, it registers a function and argument which are invoked
+	after all ongoing RCU read-side critical sections have completed.
+	This callback variant is particularly useful in situations where
+	it is illegal to block or where update-side performance is
+	critically important.
+
+	However, the call_rcu() API should not be used lightly, as use
+	of the synchronize_rcu() API generally results in simpler code.
+	In addition, the synchronize_rcu() API has the nice property
+	of automatically limiting update rate should grace periods
+	be delayed.  This property results in system resilience in face
+	of denial-of-service attacks.  Code using call_rcu() should limit
+	update rate in order to gain this same sort of resilience.  See
+	checklist.txt for some approaches to limiting the update rate.
+
+rcu_assign_pointer()
+
+	typeof(p) rcu_assign_pointer(p, typeof(p) v);
+
+	Yes, rcu_assign_pointer() -is- implemented as a macro, though it
+	would be cool to be able to declare a function in this manner.
+	(Compiler experts will no doubt disagree.)
+
+	The updater uses this function to assign a new value to an
+	RCU-protected pointer, in order to safely communicate the change
+	in value from the updater to the reader.  This function returns
+	the new value, and also executes any memory-barrier instructions
+	required for a given CPU architecture.
+
+	Perhaps just as important, it serves to document (1) which
+	pointers are protected by RCU and (2) the point at which a
+	given structure becomes accessible to other CPUs.  That said,
+	rcu_assign_pointer() is most frequently used indirectly, via
+	the _rcu list-manipulation primitives such as list_add_rcu().
+
+rcu_dereference()
+
+	typeof(p) rcu_dereference(p);
+
+	Like rcu_assign_pointer(), rcu_dereference() must be implemented
+	as a macro.
+
+	The reader uses rcu_dereference() to fetch an RCU-protected
+	pointer, which returns a value that may then be safely
+	dereferenced.  Note that rcu_dereference() does not actually
+	dereference the pointer, instead, it protects the pointer for
+	later dereferencing.  It also executes any needed memory-barrier
+	instructions for a given CPU architecture.  Currently, only Alpha
+	needs memory barriers within rcu_dereference() -- on other CPUs,
+	it compiles to nothing, not even a compiler directive.
+
+	Common coding practice uses rcu_dereference() to copy an
+	RCU-protected pointer to a local variable, then dereferences
+	this local variable, for example as follows:
+
+		p = rcu_dereference(head.next);
+		return p->data;
+
+	However, in this case, one could just as easily combine these
+	into one statement:
+
+		return rcu_dereference(head.next)->data;
+
+	If you are going to be fetching multiple fields from the
+	RCU-protected structure, using the local variable is of
+	course preferred.  Repeated rcu_dereference() calls look
+	ugly, do not guarantee that the same pointer will be returned
+	if an update happened while in the critical section, and incur
+	unnecessary overhead on Alpha CPUs.
+
+	Note that the value returned by rcu_dereference() is valid
+	only within the enclosing RCU read-side critical section.
+	For example, the following is -not- legal:
+
+		rcu_read_lock();
+		p = rcu_dereference(head.next);
+		rcu_read_unlock();
+		x = p->address;	/* BUG!!! */
+		rcu_read_lock();
+		y = p->data;	/* BUG!!! */
+		rcu_read_unlock();
+
+	Holding a reference from one RCU read-side critical section
+	to another is just as illegal as holding a reference from
+	one lock-based critical section to another!  Similarly,
+	using a reference outside of the critical section in which
+	it was acquired is just as illegal as doing so with normal
+	locking.
+
+	As with rcu_assign_pointer(), an important function of
+	rcu_dereference() is to document which pointers are protected by
+	RCU, in particular, flagging a pointer that is subject to changing
+	at any time, including immediately after the rcu_dereference().
+	And, again like rcu_assign_pointer(), rcu_dereference() is
+	typically used indirectly, via the _rcu list-manipulation
+	primitives, such as list_for_each_entry_rcu().
+
+The following diagram shows how each API communicates among the
+reader, updater, and reclaimer.
+

+	    +---------------------->| reader |---------+

+	    +----------------------------------->| reclaimer |
+	    				         +-----------+
+	      Defer:
+	      synchronize_rcu() & call_rcu()
+
+
+The RCU infrastructure observes the time sequence of rcu_read_lock(),
+rcu_read_unlock(), synchronize_rcu(), and call_rcu() invocations in
+order to determine when (1) synchronize_rcu() invocations may return
+to their callers and (2) call_rcu() callbacks may be invoked.  Efficient
+implementations of the RCU infrastructure make heavy use of batching in
+order to amortize their overhead over many uses of the corresponding APIs.
+
+There are no fewer than three RCU mechanisms in the Linux kernel; the
+diagram above shows the first one, which is by far the most commonly used.
+The rcu_dereference() and rcu_assign_pointer() primitives are used for
+all three mechanisms, but different defer and protect primitives are
+used as follows:
+
+	Defer			Protect
+
+a.	synchronize_rcu()	rcu_read_lock() / rcu_read_unlock()
+	call_rcu()		rcu_dereference()
+
+b.	synchronize_rcu_bh()	rcu_read_lock_bh() / rcu_read_unlock_bh()
+	call_rcu_bh()		rcu_dereference_bh()
+
+c.	synchronize_sched()	rcu_read_lock_sched() / rcu_read_unlock_sched()
+	call_rcu_sched()	preempt_disable() / preempt_enable()
+				local_irq_save() / local_irq_restore()
+				hardirq enter / hardirq exit
+				NMI enter / NMI exit
+				rcu_dereference_sched()
+
+These three mechanisms are used as follows:
+
+a.	RCU applied to normal data structures.
+
+b.	RCU applied to networking data structures that may be subjected
+	to remote denial-of-service attacks.
+
+c.	RCU applied to scheduler and interrupt/NMI-handler tasks.
+
+Again, most uses will be of (a).  The (b) and (c) cases are important
+for specialized uses, but are relatively uncommon.
+
+
+3.  WHAT ARE SOME EXAMPLE USES OF CORE RCU API?
+
+This section shows a simple use of the core RCU API to protect a
+global pointer to a dynamically allocated structure.  More-typical
+uses of RCU may be found in listRCU.txt, arrayRCU.txt, and NMI-RCU.txt.
+
+	struct foo {
+		int a;
+		char b;
+		long c;
+	};
+	DEFINE_SPINLOCK(foo_mutex);
+
+	struct foo __rcu *gbl_foo;
+
+	/*
+	 * Create a new struct foo that is the same as the one currently
+	 * pointed to by gbl_foo, except that field "a" is replaced
+	 * with "new_a".  Points gbl_foo to the new structure, and
+	 * frees up the old structure after a grace period.
+	 *
+	 * Uses rcu_assign_pointer() to ensure that concurrent readers
+	 * see the initialized version of the new structure.
+	 *
+	 * Uses synchronize_rcu() to ensure that any readers that might
+	 * have references to the old structure complete before freeing
+	 * the old structure.
+	 */
+	void foo_update_a(int new_a)
+	{
+		struct foo *new_fp;
+		struct foo *old_fp;
+
+		new_fp = kmalloc(sizeof(*new_fp), GFP_KERNEL);
+		spin_lock(&foo_mutex);
+		old_fp = rcu_dereference_protected(gbl_foo, lockdep_is_held(&foo_mutex));
+		*new_fp = *old_fp;
+		new_fp->a = new_a;
+		rcu_assign_pointer(gbl_foo, new_fp);
+		spin_unlock(&foo_mutex);
+		synchronize_rcu();
+		kfree(old_fp);
+	}
+
+	/*
+	 * Return the value of field "a" of the current gbl_foo
+	 * structure.  Use rcu_read_lock() and rcu_read_unlock()
+	 * to ensure that the structure does not get deleted out
+	 * from under us, and use rcu_dereference() to ensure that
+	 * we see the initialized version of the structure (important
+	 * for DEC Alpha and for people reading the code).
+	 */
+	int foo_get_a(void)
+	{
+		int retval;
+
+		rcu_read_lock();
+		retval = rcu_dereference(gbl_foo)->a;
+		rcu_read_unlock();
+		return retval;
+	}
+
+So, to sum up:
+
+o	Use rcu_read_lock() and rcu_read_unlock() to guard RCU
+	read-side critical sections.
+
+o	Within an RCU read-side critical section, use rcu_dereference()
+	to dereference RCU-protected pointers.
+
+o	Use some solid scheme (such as locks or semaphores) to
+	keep concurrent updates from interfering with each other.
+
+o	Use rcu_assign_pointer() to update an RCU-protected pointer.
+	This primitive protects concurrent readers from the updater,
+	-not- concurrent updates from each other!  You therefore still
+	need to use locking (or something similar) to keep concurrent
+	rcu_assign_pointer() primitives from interfering with each other.
+
+o	Use synchronize_rcu() -after- removing a data element from an
+	RCU-protected data structure, but -before- reclaiming/freeing
+	the data element, in order to wait for the completion of all
+	RCU read-side critical sections that might be referencing that
+	data item.
+
+See checklist.txt for additional rules to follow when using RCU.
+And again, more-typical uses of RCU may be found in listRCU.txt,
+arrayRCU.txt, and NMI-RCU.txt.
+
+
+4.  WHAT IF MY UPDATING THREAD CANNOT BLOCK?
+
+In the example above, foo_update_a() blocks until a grace period elapses.
+This is quite simple, but in some cases one cannot afford to wait so
+long -- there might be other high-priority work to be done.
+
+In such cases, one uses call_rcu() rather than synchronize_rcu().
+The call_rcu() API is as follows:
+
+	void call_rcu(struct rcu_head * head,
+		      void (*func)(struct rcu_head *head));
+
+This function invokes func(head) after a grace period has elapsed.
+This invocation might happen from either softirq or process context,
+so the function is not permitted to block.  The foo struct needs to
+have an rcu_head structure added, perhaps as follows:
+
+	struct foo {
+		int a;
+		char b;
+		long c;
+		struct rcu_head rcu;
+	};
+
+The foo_update_a() function might then be written as follows:
+
+	/*
+	 * Create a new struct foo that is the same as the one currently
+	 * pointed to by gbl_foo, except that field "a" is replaced
+	 * with "new_a".  Points gbl_foo to the new structure, and
+	 * frees up the old structure after a grace period.
+	 *
+	 * Uses rcu_assign_pointer() to ensure that concurrent readers
+	 * see the initialized version of the new structure.
+	 *
+	 * Uses call_rcu() to ensure that any readers that might have
+	 * references to the old structure complete before freeing the
+	 * old structure.
+	 */
+	void foo_update_a(int new_a)
+	{
+		struct foo *new_fp;
+		struct foo *old_fp;
+
+		new_fp = kmalloc(sizeof(*new_fp), GFP_KERNEL);
+		spin_lock(&foo_mutex);
+		old_fp = rcu_dereference_protected(gbl_foo, lockdep_is_held(&foo_mutex));
+		*new_fp = *old_fp;
+		new_fp->a = new_a;
+		rcu_assign_pointer(gbl_foo, new_fp);
+		spin_unlock(&foo_mutex);
+		call_rcu(&old_fp->rcu, foo_reclaim);
+	}
+
+The foo_reclaim() function might appear as follows:
+
+	void foo_reclaim(struct rcu_head *rp)
+	{
+		struct foo *fp = container_of(rp, struct foo, rcu);
+
+		foo_cleanup(fp->a);
+
+		kfree(fp);
+	}
+
+The container_of() primitive is a macro that, given a pointer into a
+struct, the type of the struct, and the pointed-to field within the
+struct, returns a pointer to the beginning of the struct.
+
+The use of call_rcu() permits the caller of foo_update_a() to
+immediately regain control, without needing to worry further about the
+old version of the newly updated element.  It also clearly shows the
+RCU distinction between updater, namely foo_update_a(), and reclaimer,
+namely foo_reclaim().
+
+The summary of advice is the same as for the previous section, except
+that we are now using call_rcu() rather than synchronize_rcu():
+
+o	Use call_rcu() -after- removing a data element from an
+	RCU-protected data structure in order to register a callback
+	function that will be invoked after the completion of all RCU
+	read-side critical sections that might be referencing that
+	data item.
+
+If the callback for call_rcu() is not doing anything more than calling
+kfree() on the structure, you can use kfree_rcu() instead of call_rcu()
+to avoid having to write your own callback:
+
+	kfree_rcu(old_fp, rcu);

+Again, see checklist.txt for additional rules governing the use of RCU.
+
+
+5.  WHAT ARE SOME SIMPLE IMPLEMENTATIONS OF RCU?
+
+One of the nice things about RCU is that it has extremely simple "toy"
+implementations that are a good first step towards understanding the
+production-quality implementations in the Linux kernel.  This section
+presents two such "toy" implementations of RCU, one that is implemented
+in terms of familiar locking primitives, and another that more closely
+resembles "classic" RCU.  Both are way too simple for real-world use,
+lacking both functionality and performance.  However, they are useful
+in getting a feel for how RCU works.  See kernel/rcupdate.c for a
+production-quality implementation, and see:
+
+	http://www.rdrop.com/users/paulmck/RCU
+
+for papers describing the Linux kernel RCU implementation.  The OLS'01
+and OLS'02 papers are a good introduction, and the dissertation provides
+more details on the current implementation as of early 2004.
+
+
+5A.  "TOY" IMPLEMENTATION #1: LOCKING
+
+This section presents a "toy" RCU implementation that is based on
+familiar locking primitives.  Its overhead makes it a non-starter for
+real-life use, as does its lack of scalability.  It is also unsuitable
+for realtime use, since it allows scheduling latency to "bleed" from
+one read-side critical section to another.  It also assumes recursive
+reader-writer locks:  If you try this with non-recursive locks, and
+you allow nested rcu_read_lock() calls, you can deadlock.
+
+However, it is probably the easiest implementation to relate to, so is
+a good starting point.
+
+It is extremely simple:
+
+	static DEFINE_RWLOCK(rcu_gp_mutex);
+
+	void rcu_read_lock(void)
+	{
+		read_lock(&rcu_gp_mutex);
+	}
+
+	void rcu_read_unlock(void)
+	{
+		read_unlock(&rcu_gp_mutex);
+	}
+
+	void synchronize_rcu(void)
+	{
+		write_lock(&rcu_gp_mutex);
+		smp_mb__after_spinlock();
+		write_unlock(&rcu_gp_mutex);
+	}
+
+[You can ignore rcu_assign_pointer() and rcu_dereference() without missing
+much.  But here are simplified versions anyway.  And whatever you do,
+don't forget about them when submitting patches making use of RCU!]
+
+	#define rcu_assign_pointer(p, v) \
+	({ \
+		smp_store_release(&(p), (v)); \
+	})
+
+	#define rcu_dereference(p) \
+	({ \
+		typeof(p) _________p1 = READ_ONCE(p); \
+		(_________p1); \
+	})
+
+
+The rcu_read_lock() and rcu_read_unlock() primitive read-acquire
+and release a global reader-writer lock.  The synchronize_rcu()
+primitive write-acquires this same lock, then releases it.  This means
+that once synchronize_rcu() exits, all RCU read-side critical sections
+that were in progress before synchronize_rcu() was called are guaranteed
+to have completed -- there is no way that synchronize_rcu() would have
+been able to write-acquire the lock otherwise.  The smp_mb__after_spinlock()
+promotes synchronize_rcu() to a full memory barrier in compliance with
+the "Memory-Barrier Guarantees" listed in:
+
+	Documentation/RCU/Design/Requirements/Requirements.html.
+
+It is possible to nest rcu_read_lock(), since reader-writer locks may
+be recursively acquired.  Note also that rcu_read_lock() is immune
+from deadlock (an important property of RCU).  The reason for this is
+that the only thing that can block rcu_read_lock() is a synchronize_rcu().
+But synchronize_rcu() does not acquire any locks while holding rcu_gp_mutex,
+so there can be no deadlock cycle.
+
+Quick Quiz #1:	Why is this argument naive?  How could a deadlock
+		occur when using this algorithm in a real-world Linux
+		kernel?  How could this deadlock be avoided?
+
+
+5B.  "TOY" EXAMPLE #2: CLASSIC RCU
+
+This section presents a "toy" RCU implementation that is based on
+"classic RCU".  It is also short on performance (but only for updates) and
+on features such as hotplug CPU and the ability to run in CONFIG_PREEMPT
+kernels.  The definitions of rcu_dereference() and rcu_assign_pointer()
+are the same as those shown in the preceding section, so they are omitted.
+
+	void rcu_read_lock(void) { }
+
+	void rcu_read_unlock(void) { }
+
+	void synchronize_rcu(void)
+	{
+		int cpu;
+
+		for_each_possible_cpu(cpu)
+			run_on(cpu);
+	}
+
+Note that rcu_read_lock() and rcu_read_unlock() do absolutely nothing.
+This is the great strength of classic RCU in a non-preemptive kernel:
+read-side overhead is precisely zero, at least on non-Alpha CPUs.
+And there is absolutely no way that rcu_read_lock() can possibly
+participate in a deadlock cycle!
+
+The implementation of synchronize_rcu() simply schedules itself on each
+CPU in turn.  The run_on() primitive can be implemented straightforwardly
+in terms of the sched_setaffinity() primitive.  Of course, a somewhat less
+"toy" implementation would restore the affinity upon completion rather
+than just leaving all tasks running on the last CPU, but when I said
+"toy", I meant -toy-!
+
+So how the heck is this supposed to work???
+
+Remember that it is illegal to block while in an RCU read-side critical
+section.  Therefore, if a given CPU executes a context switch, we know
+that it must have completed all preceding RCU read-side critical sections.
+Once -all- CPUs have executed a context switch, then -all- preceding
+RCU read-side critical sections will have completed.
+
+So, suppose that we remove a data item from its structure and then invoke
+synchronize_rcu().  Once synchronize_rcu() returns, we are guaranteed
+that there are no RCU read-side critical sections holding a reference
+to that data item, so we can safely reclaim it.
+
+Quick Quiz #2:	Give an example where Classic RCU's read-side
+		overhead is -negative-.
+
+Quick Quiz #3:  If it is illegal to block in an RCU read-side
+		critical section, what the heck do you do in
+		PREEMPT_RT, where normal spinlocks can block???
+
+
+6.  ANALOGY WITH READER-WRITER LOCKING

+RCU is analogous to reader-writer locking.  The following unified

+16 }                                   17 }
+
+Either way, the differences are quite small.  Read-side locking moves
+to rcu_read_lock() and rcu_read_unlock, update-side locking moves from
+a reader-writer lock to a simple spinlock, and a synchronize_rcu()
+precedes the kfree().
+
+However, there is one potential catch: the read-side and update-side
+critical sections can now run concurrently.  In many cases, this will
+not be a problem, but it is necessary to check carefully regardless.
+For example, if multiple independent list updates must be seen as
+a single atomic update, converting to RCU will require special care.
+
+Also, the presence of synchronize_rcu() means that the RCU version of
+delete() can now block.  If this is a problem, there is a callback-based
+mechanism that never blocks, namely call_rcu() or kfree_rcu(), that can
+be used in place of synchronize_rcu().
+

+
+However, given that there are no fewer than four families of RCU APIs
+in the Linux kernel, how do you choose which one to use?  The following
+list can be helpful:
+
+a.	Will readers need to block?  If so, you need SRCU.
+
+b.	What about the -rt patchset?  If readers would need to block
+	in an non-rt kernel, you need SRCU.  If readers would block
+	in a -rt kernel, but not in a non-rt kernel, SRCU is not
+	necessary.  (The -rt patchset turns spinlocks into sleeplocks,
+	hence this distinction.)
+
+c.	Do you need to treat NMI handlers, hardirq handlers,
+	and code segments with preemption disabled (whether
+	via preempt_disable(), local_irq_save(), local_bh_disable(),
+	or some other mechanism) as if they were explicit RCU readers?
+	If so, RCU-sched is the only choice that will work for you.
+
+d.	Do you need RCU grace periods to complete even in the face
+	of softirq monopolization of one or more of the CPUs?  For
+	example, is your code subject to network-based denial-of-service
+	attacks?  If so, you need RCU-bh.
+
+e.	Is your workload too update-intensive for normal use of
+	RCU, but inappropriate for other synchronization mechanisms?
+	If so, consider SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU (which was originally
+	named SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU).  But please be careful!
+
+f.	Do you need read-side critical sections that are respected
+	even though they are in the middle of the idle loop, during
+	user-mode execution, or on an offlined CPU?  If so, SRCU is the
+	only choice that will work for you.
+
+g.	Otherwise, use RCU.
+
+Of course, this all assumes that you have determined that RCU is in fact
+the right tool for your job.
+
+
+8.  ANSWERS TO QUICK QUIZZES
+
+Quick Quiz #1:	Why is this argument naive?  How could a deadlock
+		occur when using this algorithm in a real-world Linux
+		kernel?  [Referring to the lock-based "toy" RCU
+		algorithm.]
+
+Answer:		Consider the following sequence of events:
+
+		1.	CPU 0 acquires some unrelated lock, call it
+			"problematic_lock", disabling irq via
+			spin_lock_irqsave().
+
+		2.	CPU 1 enters synchronize_rcu(), write-acquiring
+			rcu_gp_mutex.
+
+		3.	CPU 0 enters rcu_read_lock(), but must wait
+			because CPU 1 holds rcu_gp_mutex.
+
+		4.	CPU 1 is interrupted, and the irq handler
+			attempts to acquire problematic_lock.
+
+		The system is now deadlocked.
+
+		One way to avoid this deadlock is to use an approach like
+		that of CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT, where all normal spinlocks
+		become blocking locks, and all irq handlers execute in
+		the context of special tasks.  In this case, in step 4
+		above, the irq handler would block, allowing CPU 1 to
+		release rcu_gp_mutex, avoiding the deadlock.
+
+		Even in the absence of deadlock, this RCU implementation
+		allows latency to "bleed" from readers to other
+		readers through synchronize_rcu().  To see this,
+		consider task A in an RCU read-side critical section
+		(thus read-holding rcu_gp_mutex), task B blocked
+		attempting to write-acquire rcu_gp_mutex, and
+		task C blocked in rcu_read_lock() attempting to
+		read_acquire rcu_gp_mutex.  Task A's RCU read-side
+		latency is holding up task C, albeit indirectly via
+		task B.
+
+		Realtime RCU implementations therefore use a counter-based
+		approach where tasks in RCU read-side critical sections
+		cannot be blocked by tasks executing synchronize_rcu().
+
+Quick Quiz #2:	Give an example where Classic RCU's read-side
+		overhead is -negative-.
+
+Answer:		Imagine a single-CPU system with a non-CONFIG_PREEMPT
+		kernel where a routing table is used by process-context
+		code, but can be updated by irq-context code (for example,
+		by an "ICMP REDIRECT" packet).	The usual way of handling
+		this would be to have the process-context code disable
+		interrupts while searching the routing table.  Use of
+		RCU allows such interrupt-disabling to be dispensed with.
+		Thus, without RCU, you pay the cost of disabling interrupts,
+		and with RCU you don't.
+
+		One can argue that the overhead of RCU in this
+		case is negative with respect to the single-CPU
+		interrupt-disabling approach.  Others might argue that
+		the overhead of RCU is merely zero, and that replacing
+		the positive overhead of the interrupt-disabling scheme
+		with the zero-overhead RCU scheme does not constitute
+		negative overhead.
+
+		In real life, of course, things are more complex.  But
+		even the theoretical possibility of negative overhead for
+		a synchronization primitive is a bit unexpected.  ;-)
+
+Quick Quiz #3:  If it is illegal to block in an RCU read-side
+		critical section, what the heck do you do in
+		PREEMPT_RT, where normal spinlocks can block???
+
+Answer:		Just as PREEMPT_RT permits preemption of spinlock
+		critical sections, it permits preemption of RCU
+		read-side critical sections.  It also permits
+		spinlocks blocking while in RCU read-side critical
+		sections.
+
+		Why the apparent inconsistency?  Because it is it
+		possible to use priority boosting to keep the RCU
+		grace periods short if need be (for example, if running
+		short of memory).  In contrast, if blocking waiting
+		for (say) network reception, there is no way to know
+		what should be boosted.  Especially given that the
+		process we need to boost might well be a human being
+		who just went out for a pizza or something.  And although
+		a computer-operated cattle prod might arouse serious
+		interest, it might also provoke serious objections.
+		Besides, how does the computer know what pizza parlor
+		the human being went to???
