+A Tour Through TREE_RCU's Data Structures [LWN.net]
+===================================================
+
+December 18, 2016
+
+This article was contributed by Paul E. McKenney
+
+Introduction
+============
+
+This document describes RCU's major data structures and their relationship
+to each other.
+
+Data-Structure Relationships
+============================
+
+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:
+
+.. kernel-figure:: BigTreeClassicRCU.svg
+
+This diagram shows an enclosing ``rcu_state`` structure containing a tree
+of ``rcu_node`` structures. Each leaf node of the ``rcu_node`` tree has up
+to 16 ``rcu_data`` structures associated with it, so that there are
+``NR_CPUS`` number of ``rcu_data`` structures, one for each possible CPU.
+This structure is adjusted at boot time, if needed, to handle the common
+case where ``nr_cpu_ids`` is much less than ``NR_CPUs``.
+For example, a number of Linux distributions set ``NR_CPUs=4096``,
+which results in a three-level ``rcu_node`` tree.
+If the actual hardware has only 16 CPUs, RCU will adjust itself
+at boot time, resulting in an ``rcu_node`` tree with only a single node.
+
+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 ``rcu_data`` structures,
+and other events are recorded by the leaf-level ``rcu_node``
+structures.
+All of these events are combined at each level of the tree until finally
+grace periods are completed at the tree's root ``rcu_node``
+structure.
+A grace period can be completed at the root once every CPU
+(or, in the case of ``CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU``, task)
+has passed through a quiescent state.
+Once a grace period has completed, record of that fact is propagated
+back down the tree.
+
+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.
+
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| **Quick Quiz**: |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| Why isn't the fanout at the leaves also 64? |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| **Answer**: |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| Because there are more types of events that affect the leaf-level |
+| ``rcu_node`` structures than further up the tree. Therefore, if the |
+| leaf ``rcu_node`` structures have fanout of 64, the contention on |
+| these structures' ``->structures`` becomes excessive. Experimentation |
+| on a wide variety of systems has shown that a fanout of 16 works well |
+| for the leaves of the ``rcu_node`` tree. |
+| |
+| Of course, further experience with systems having hundreds or |
+| thousands of CPUs may demonstrate that the fanout for the non-leaf |
+| ``rcu_node`` 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 ``rcu_node`` structures, you may use the |
+| ``CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT`` kernel configuration parameter to reduce the |
+| non-leaf fanout as needed. |
+| |
+| Kernels built for systems with strong NUMA characteristics might |
+| also need to adjust ``CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT`` so that the domains of |
+| the ``rcu_node`` structures align with hardware boundaries. |
+| However, there has thus far been no need for this. |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+
+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 ``rcu_node`` tree as follows:
+
+.. kernel-figure:: HugeTreeClassicRCU.svg
+
+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 both
+``CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT`` and ``CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT_LEAF`` to be as small as
+2, which would result in a 16-CPU test using a 4-level tree. This can be
+useful for testing large-system capabilities on small test machines.
+
+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 ``rcu_node``
+structure need advance to the ``rcu_node`` structure at the next level
+up the tree. This means that at the leaf-level ``rcu_node`` structure,
+only one access out of sixteen will progress up the tree. For the
+internal ``rcu_node`` 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 ``rcu_node`` structure,
+thus ensuring that the lock contention on that root ``rcu_node``
+structure remains acceptably low.
+
+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.
+
+RCU updaters wait for normal grace periods by registering RCU callbacks,
+either directly via ``call_rcu()`` or indirectly via
+``synchronize_rcu()`` and friends. RCU callbacks are represented by
+``rcu_head`` structures, which are queued on ``rcu_data`` structures
+while they are waiting for a grace period to elapse, as shown in the
+following figure:
+
+.. kernel-figure:: BigTreePreemptRCUBHdyntickCB.svg
+
+This figure shows how ``TREE_RCU``'s and ``PREEMPT_RCU``'s major data
+structures are related. Lesser data structures will be introduced with
+the algorithms that make use of them.
+
+Note that each of the data structures in the above figure has its own
+synchronization:
+
+#. Each ``rcu_state`` structures has a lock and a mutex, and some fields
+ are protected by the corresponding root ``rcu_node`` structure's lock.
+#. Each ``rcu_node`` structure has a spinlock.
+#. The fields in ``rcu_data`` are private to the corresponding CPU,
+ although a few can be read and written by other CPUs.
+
+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.
+
+The general role of each of these data structures is as follows:
+
+#. ``rcu_state``: This structure forms the interconnection between the
+ ``rcu_node`` and ``rcu_data`` structures, tracks grace periods,
+ serves as short-term repository for callbacks orphaned by CPU-hotplug
+ events, maintains ``rcu_barrier()`` state, tracks expedited
+ grace-period state, and maintains state used to force quiescent
+ states when grace periods extend too long,
+#. ``rcu_node``: 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 ``CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU`` kernels, it manages the
+ lists of tasks that have blocked while in their current RCU read-side
+ critical section. In ``CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU`` with
+ ``CONFIG_RCU_BOOST``, it manages the per-\ ``rcu_node``
+ 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.
+#. ``rcu_data``: This per-CPU structure is the focus of quiescent-state
+ detection and RCU callback queuing. It also tracks its relationship
+ to the corresponding leaf ``rcu_node`` structure to allow
+ more-efficient propagation of quiescent states up the ``rcu_node``
+ combining tree. Like the ``rcu_node`` 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.
+#. ``rcu_head``: This structure represents RCU callbacks, and is the
+ only structure allocated and managed by RCU users. The ``rcu_head``
+ structure is normally embedded within the RCU-protected data
+ structure.
+
+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 ``rcu_state``, ``rcu_node``
+and ``rcu_data`` data structures.
+
+The ``rcu_state`` Structure
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The ``rcu_state`` structure is the base structure that represents the
+state of RCU in the system. This structure forms the interconnection
+between the ``rcu_node`` and ``rcu_data`` 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,
+
+A few of the ``rcu_state`` 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.
+
+Relationship to rcu_node and rcu_data Structures
+''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
+
+This portion of the ``rcu_state`` structure is declared as follows:
+
+::
+
+ 1 struct rcu_node node[NUM_RCU_NODES];
+ 2 struct rcu_node *level[NUM_RCU_LVLS + 1];
+ 3 struct rcu_data __percpu *rda;
+
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| **Quick Quiz**: |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| Wait a minute! You said that the ``rcu_node`` structures formed a |
+| tree, but they are declared as a flat array! What gives? |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| **Answer**: |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| The tree is laid out in the array. The first node In the array is the |
+| head, the next set of nodes in the array are children of the head |
+| node, and so on until the last set of nodes in the array are the |
+| leaves. |
+| See the following diagrams to see how this works. |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+
+The ``rcu_node`` tree is embedded into the ``->node[]`` array as shown
+in the following figure:
+
+.. kernel-figure:: TreeMapping.svg
+
+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 ``rcu_for_each_node_breadth_first()``
+macro does. This macro is used at the beginning and ends of grace
+periods.
+
+Each entry of the ``->level`` array references the first ``rcu_node``
+structure on the corresponding level of the tree, for example, as shown
+below:
+
+.. kernel-figure:: TreeMappingLevel.svg
+
+The zero\ :sup:`th` element of the array references the root
+``rcu_node`` structure, the first element references the first child of
+the root ``rcu_node``, and finally the second element references the
+first leaf ``rcu_node`` structure.
+
+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:
+
+.. kernel-figure:: TreeLevel.svg
+
+Finally, the ``->rda`` field references a per-CPU pointer to the
+corresponding CPU's ``rcu_data`` structure.
+
+All of these fields are constant once initialization is complete, and
+therefore need no protection.
+
+Grace-Period Tracking
+'''''''''''''''''''''
+
+This portion of the ``rcu_state`` structure is declared as follows:
+
+::
+
+ 1 unsigned long gp_seq;
+
+RCU grace periods are numbered, and the ``->gp_seq`` 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
+``->gp_seq`` are zero, then RCU is idle. Any other value in the bottom
+two bits indicates that something is broken. This field is protected by
+the root ``rcu_node`` structure's ``->lock`` field.
+
+There are ``->gp_seq`` fields in the ``rcu_node`` and ``rcu_data``
+structures as well. The fields in the ``rcu_state`` 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 ``rcu_state`` to ``rcu_node``
+(down the tree from the root to the leaves) to ``rcu_data``.
+
+Miscellaneous
+'''''''''''''
+
+This portion of the ``rcu_state`` structure is declared as follows:
+
+::
+
+ 1 unsigned long gp_max;
+ 2 char abbr;
+ 3 char *name;
+
+The ``->gp_max`` field tracks the duration of the longest grace period
+in jiffies. It is protected by the root ``rcu_node``'s ``->lock``.
+
+The ``->name`` and ``->abbr`` fields distinguish between preemptible RCU
+(“rcu_preempt” and “p”) and non-preemptible RCU (“rcu_sched” and “s”).
+These fields are used for diagnostic and tracing purposes.
+
+The ``rcu_node`` Structure
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The ``rcu_node`` 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 ``CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU`` kernels, they manage the lists
+of tasks that have blocked while in their current RCU read-side critical
+section. In ``CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU`` with ``CONFIG_RCU_BOOST``, they
+manage the per-\ ``rcu_node`` 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.
+
+The ``rcu_node`` structure's fields are discussed, singly and in groups,
+in the following sections.
+
+Connection to Combining Tree
+''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
+
+This portion of the ``rcu_node`` structure is declared as follows:
+
+::
+
+ 1 struct rcu_node *parent;
+ 2 u8 level;
+ 3 u8 grpnum;
+ 4 unsigned long grpmask;
+ 5 int grplo;
+ 6 int grphi;
+
+The ``->parent`` pointer references the ``rcu_node`` one level up in the
+tree, and is ``NULL`` for the root ``rcu_node``. The RCU implementation
+makes heavy use of this field to push quiescent states up the tree. The
+``->level`` field gives the level in the tree, with the root being at
+level zero, its children at level one, and so on. The ``->grpnum`` 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 ``->level`` and ``->grpnum`` fields are used only
+during initialization and for tracing. The ``->grpmask`` field is the
+bitmask counterpart of ``->grpnum``, and therefore always has exactly
+one bit set. This mask is used to clear the bit corresponding to this
+``rcu_node`` structure in its parent's bitmasks, which are described
+later. Finally, the ``->grplo`` and ``->grphi`` fields contain the
+lowest and highest numbered CPU served by this ``rcu_node`` structure,
+respectively.
+
+All of these fields are constant, and thus do not require any
+synchronization.
+
+Synchronization
+'''''''''''''''
+
+This field of the ``rcu_node`` structure is declared as follows:
+
+::
+
+ 1 raw_spinlock_t lock;
+
+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.
+
+.. _grace-period-tracking-1:
+
+Grace-Period Tracking
+'''''''''''''''''''''
+
+This portion of the ``rcu_node`` structure is declared as follows:
+
+::
+
+ 1 unsigned long gp_seq;
+ 2 unsigned long gp_seq_needed;
+
+The ``rcu_node`` structures' ``->gp_seq`` fields are the counterparts of
+the field of the same name in the ``rcu_state`` structure. They each may
+lag up to one step behind their ``rcu_state`` counterpart. If the bottom
+two bits of a given ``rcu_node`` structure's ``->gp_seq`` field is zero,
+then this ``rcu_node`` structure believes that RCU is idle.
+
+The ``>gp_seq`` field of each ``rcu_node`` structure is updated at the
+beginning and the end of each grace period.
+
+The ``->gp_seq_needed`` fields record the furthest-in-the-future grace
+period request seen by the corresponding ``rcu_node`` structure. The
+request is considered fulfilled when the value of the ``->gp_seq`` field
+equals or exceeds that of the ``->gp_seq_needed`` field.
+
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| **Quick Quiz**: |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| Suppose that this ``rcu_node`` structure doesn't see a request for a |
+| very long time. Won't wrapping of the ``->gp_seq`` field cause |
+| problems? |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| **Answer**: |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| No, because if the ``->gp_seq_needed`` field lags behind the |
+| ``->gp_seq`` field, the ``->gp_seq_needed`` field will be updated at |
+| the end of the grace period. Modulo-arithmetic comparisons therefore |
+| will always get the correct answer, even with wrapping. |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+
+Quiescent-State Tracking
+''''''''''''''''''''''''
+
+These fields manage the propagation of quiescent states up the combining
+tree.
+
+This portion of the ``rcu_node`` structure has fields as follows:
+
+::
+
+ 1 unsigned long qsmask;
+ 2 unsigned long expmask;
+ 3 unsigned long qsmaskinit;
+ 4 unsigned long expmaskinit;
+
+The ``->qsmask`` field tracks which of this ``rcu_node`` 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 ``rcu_node`` structures should be
+thought of as having ``rcu_data`` structures as their children.
+Similarly, the ``->expmask`` field tracks which of this ``rcu_node``
+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 ``->qsmaskinit`` field tracks which of this
+``rcu_node`` structure's children cover for at least one online CPU.
+This mask is used to initialize ``->qsmask``, and ``->expmaskinit`` is
+used to initialize ``->expmask`` and the beginning of the normal and
+expedited grace periods, respectively.

+| **Quick Quiz**: |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| Why are these bitmasks protected by locking? Come on, haven't you |
+| heard of atomic instructions??? |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| **Answer**: |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| Lockless grace-period computation! Such a tantalizing possibility! |
+| But consider the following sequence of events: |
+| |
+| #. CPU 0 has been in dyntick-idle mode for quite some time. When it |
+| wakes up, it notices that the current RCU grace period needs it to |
+| report in, so it sets a flag where the scheduling clock interrupt |
+| will find it. |
+| #. Meanwhile, CPU 1 is running ``force_quiescent_state()``, and |
+| notices that CPU 0 has been in dyntick idle mode, which qualifies |
+| as an extended quiescent state. |
+| #. CPU 0's scheduling clock interrupt fires in the middle of an RCU |
+| read-side critical section, and notices that the RCU core needs |
+| something, so commences RCU softirq processing. |
+| #. CPU 0's softirq handler executes and is just about ready to report |
+| its quiescent state up the ``rcu_node`` tree. |
+| #. But CPU 1 beats it to the punch, completing the current grace |
+| period and starting a new one. |
+| #. CPU 0 now reports its quiescent state for the wrong grace period. |
+| That grace period might now end before the RCU read-side critical |
+| section. If that happens, disaster will ensue. |
+| |
+| So the locking is absolutely required in order to coordinate clearing |
+| of the bits with updating of the grace-period sequence number in |
+| ``->gp_seq``. |

+
+Blocked-Task Management
+'''''''''''''''''''''''
+
+``PREEMPT_RCU`` 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 ``rcu_node`` structure tracks them.
+
+::
+
+ 1 struct list_head blkd_tasks;
+ 2 struct list_head *gp_tasks;
+ 3 struct list_head *exp_tasks;
+ 4 bool wait_blkd_tasks;
+
+The ``->blkd_tasks`` 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 ``task_struct`` structures are enqueued (via
+the ``task_struct``'s ``->rcu_node_entry`` field) onto the head of the
+``->blkd_tasks`` list for the leaf ``rcu_node`` 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 ``->gp_tasks`` for normal grace
+periods and in ``->exp_tasks`` for expedited grace periods. These last
+two fields are ``NULL`` 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 ``->blkd_tasks`` list, then that task must
+advance the pointer to the next task on the list, or set the pointer to
+``NULL`` if there are no subsequent tasks on the list.
+
+For example, suppose that tasks T1, T2, and T3 are all hard-affinitied
+to the largest-numbered CPU in the system. Then if task T1 blocked in an
+RCU read-side critical section, then an expedited grace period started,
+then task T2 blocked in an RCU read-side critical section, then a normal
+grace period started, and finally task 3 blocked in an RCU read-side
+critical section, then the state of the last leaf ``rcu_node``
+structure's blocked-task list would be as shown below:
+
+.. kernel-figure:: blkd_task.svg
+
+Task T1 is blocking both grace periods, task T2 is blocking only the
+normal grace period, and task 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 ``rcu_read_unlock()`` that ends their RCU
+read-side critical section.
+
+The ``->wait_blkd_tasks`` field indicates whether or not the current
+grace period is waiting on a blocked task.
+
+Sizing the ``rcu_node`` Array
+'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
+
+The ``rcu_node`` array is sized via a series of C-preprocessor

+
+The maximum number of levels in the ``rcu_node`` structure is currently
+limited to four, as specified by lines 21-24 and the structure of the
+subsequent “if” 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 ``CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT=8``
+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
+``rcu_node`` boundaries). In addition, building kernels with a full four
+levels of ``rcu_node`` tree permits better testing of RCU's
+combining-tree code.
+
+The ``RCU_FANOUT`` symbol controls how many children are permitted at
+each non-leaf level of the ``rcu_node`` tree. If the
+``CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT`` Kconfig option is not specified, it is set based
+on the word size of the system, which is also the Kconfig default.
+
+The ``RCU_FANOUT_LEAF`` symbol controls how many CPUs are handled by
+each leaf ``rcu_node`` structure. Experience has shown that allowing a
+given leaf ``rcu_node`` structure to handle 64 CPUs, as permitted by the
+number of bits in the ``->qsmask`` field on a 64-bit system, results in
+excessive contention for the leaf ``rcu_node`` structures' ``->lock``
+fields. The number of CPUs per leaf ``rcu_node`` structure is therefore
+limited to 16 given the default value of ``CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT_LEAF``. If
+``CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT_LEAF`` is unspecified, the value selected is based
+on the word size of the system, just as for ``CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT``.
+Lines 11-19 perform this computation.
+
+Lines 21-24 compute the maximum number of CPUs supported by a
+single-level (which contains a single ``rcu_node`` structure),
+two-level, three-level, and four-level ``rcu_node`` tree, respectively,
+given the fanout specified by ``RCU_FANOUT`` and ``RCU_FANOUT_LEAF``.
+These numbers of CPUs are retained in the ``RCU_FANOUT_1``,
+``RCU_FANOUT_2``, ``RCU_FANOUT_3``, and ``RCU_FANOUT_4`` C-preprocessor
+variables, respectively.
+
+These variables are used to control the C-preprocessor ``#if`` statement
+spanning lines 26-66 that computes the number of ``rcu_node`` structures
+required for each level of the tree, as well as the number of levels
+required. The number of levels is placed in the ``NUM_RCU_LVLS``
+C-preprocessor variable by lines 27, 35, 44, and 54. The number of
+``rcu_node`` structures for the topmost level of the tree is always
+exactly one, and this value is unconditionally placed into
+``NUM_RCU_LVL_0`` by lines 28, 36, 45, and 55. The rest of the levels
+(if any) of the ``rcu_node`` tree are computed by dividing the maximum
+number of CPUs by the fanout supported by the number of levels from the
+current level down, rounding up. This computation is performed by
+lines 37, 46-47, and 56-58. Lines 31-33, 40-42, 50-52, and 62-63 create
+initializers for lockdep lock-class names. Finally, lines 64-66 produce
+an error if the maximum number of CPUs is too large for the specified
+fanout.
+
+The ``rcu_segcblist`` Structure
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The ``rcu_segcblist`` structure maintains a segmented list of callbacks
+as follows:
+
+::
+
+ 1 #define RCU_DONE_TAIL 0
+ 2 #define RCU_WAIT_TAIL 1
+ 3 #define RCU_NEXT_READY_TAIL 2
+ 4 #define RCU_NEXT_TAIL 3
+ 5 #define RCU_CBLIST_NSEGS 4
+ 6
+ 7 struct rcu_segcblist {
+ 8 struct rcu_head *head;
+ 9 struct rcu_head **tails[RCU_CBLIST_NSEGS];
+ 10 unsigned long gp_seq[RCU_CBLIST_NSEGS];
+ 11 long len;
+ 12 long len_lazy;
+ 13 };
+
+The segments are as follows:
+
+#. ``RCU_DONE_TAIL``: Callbacks whose grace periods have elapsed. These
+ callbacks are ready to be invoked.
+#. ``RCU_WAIT_TAIL``: Callbacks that are waiting for the current grace
+ period. Note that different CPUs can have different ideas about which
+ grace period is current, hence the ``->gp_seq`` field.
+#. ``RCU_NEXT_READY_TAIL``: Callbacks waiting for the next grace period
+ to start.
+#. ``RCU_NEXT_TAIL``: Callbacks that have not yet been associated with a
+ grace period.
+
+The ``->head`` pointer references the first callback or is ``NULL`` if
+the list contains no callbacks (which is *not* the same as being empty).
+Each element of the ``->tails[]`` array references the ``->next``
+pointer of the last callback in the corresponding segment of the list,
+or the list's ``->head`` 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
+``->head`` pointer, the ``->tails[]`` array, and the callbacks is shown
+in this diagram:
+
+.. kernel-figure:: nxtlist.svg
+
+In this figure, the ``->head`` pointer references the first RCU callback
+in the list. The ``->tails[RCU_DONE_TAIL]`` array element references the
+``->head`` pointer itself, indicating that none of the callbacks is
+ready to invoke. The ``->tails[RCU_WAIT_TAIL]`` array element references
+callback CB 2's ``->next`` pointer, which indicates that CB 1 and CB 2
+are both waiting on the current grace period, give or take possible
+disagreements about exactly which grace period is the current one. The
+``->tails[RCU_NEXT_READY_TAIL]`` array element references the same RCU
+callback that ``->tails[RCU_WAIT_TAIL]`` does, which indicates that
+there are no callbacks waiting on the next RCU grace period. The
+``->tails[RCU_NEXT_TAIL]`` array element references CB 4's ``->next``
+pointer, indicating that all the remaining RCU callbacks have not yet
+been assigned to an RCU grace period. Note that the
+``->tails[RCU_NEXT_TAIL]`` array element always references the last RCU
+callback's ``->next`` pointer unless the callback list is empty, in
+which case it references the ``->head`` pointer.
+
+There is one additional important special case for the
+``->tails[RCU_NEXT_TAIL]`` array element: It can be ``NULL`` when this
+list is *disabled*. Lists are disabled when the corresponding CPU is
+offline or when the corresponding CPU's callbacks are offloaded to a
+kthread, both of which are described elsewhere.
+
+CPUs advance their callbacks from the ``RCU_NEXT_TAIL`` to the
+``RCU_NEXT_READY_TAIL`` to the ``RCU_WAIT_TAIL`` to the
+``RCU_DONE_TAIL`` list segments as grace periods advance.
+
+The ``->gp_seq[]`` 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.
+
+The ``->len`` counter contains the number of callbacks in ``->head``,
+and the ``->len_lazy`` contains the number of those callbacks that are
+known to only free memory, and whose invocation can therefore be safely
+deferred.
+
+.. important::
+
+ It is the ``->len`` field that determines whether or
+ not there are callbacks associated with this ``rcu_segcblist``
+ structure, *not* the ``->head`` pointer. The reason for this is that all
+ the ready-to-invoke callbacks (that is, those in the ``RCU_DONE_TAIL``
+ segment) are extracted all at once at callback-invocation time
+ (``rcu_do_batch``), due to which ``->head`` may be set to NULL if there
+ are no not-done callbacks remaining in the ``rcu_segcblist``. 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 ``RCU_DONE_TAIL`` segment and
+ ``->head`` once again points to the start of the segment. In short, the
+ head field can briefly be ``NULL`` even though the CPU has callbacks
+ present the entire time. Therefore, it is not appropriate to test the
+ ``->head`` pointer for ``NULL``.
+
+In contrast, the ``->len`` and ``->len_lazy`` counts are adjusted only
+after the corresponding callbacks have been invoked. This means that the
+``->len`` count is zero only if the ``rcu_segcblist`` structure really
+is devoid of callbacks. Of course, off-CPU sampling of the ``->len``
+count requires careful use of appropriate synchronization, for example,
+memory barriers. This synchronization can be a bit subtle, particularly
+in the case of ``rcu_barrier()``.
+
+The ``rcu_data`` Structure
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The ``rcu_data`` maintains the per-CPU state for the RCU subsystem. 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 ``rcu_node`` structure to
+allow more-efficient propagation of quiescent states up the ``rcu_node``
+combining tree. Like the ``rcu_node`` 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.
+
+The ``rcu_data`` structure's fields are discussed, singly and in groups,
+in the following sections.
+
+Connection to Other Data Structures
+'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
+
+This portion of the ``rcu_data`` structure is declared as follows:
+
+::
+
+ 1 int cpu;
+ 2 struct rcu_node *mynode;
+ 3 unsigned long grpmask;
+ 4 bool beenonline;
+
+The ``->cpu`` field contains the number of the corresponding CPU and the
+``->mynode`` field references the corresponding ``rcu_node`` structure.
+The ``->mynode`` is used to propagate quiescent states up the combining
+tree. These two fields are constant and therefore do not require
+synchronization.
+
+The ``->grpmask`` field indicates the bit in the ``->mynode->qsmask``
+corresponding to this ``rcu_data`` structure, and is also used when
+propagating quiescent states. The ``->beenonline`` flag is set whenever
+the corresponding CPU comes online, which means that the debugfs tracing
+need not dump out any ``rcu_data`` structure for which this flag is not
+set.
+
+Quiescent-State and Grace-Period Tracking
+'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
+
+This portion of the ``rcu_data`` structure is declared as follows:
+
+::
+
+ 1 unsigned long gp_seq;
+ 2 unsigned long gp_seq_needed;
+ 3 bool cpu_no_qs;
+ 4 bool core_needs_qs;
+ 5 bool gpwrap;
+
+The ``->gp_seq`` field is the counterpart of the field of the same name
+in the ``rcu_state`` and ``rcu_node`` structures. The
+``->gp_seq_needed`` field is the counterpart of the field of the same
+name in the rcu_node structure. They may each lag up to one behind their
+``rcu_node`` counterparts, but in ``CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE`` and
+``CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL`` 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 ``rcu_data``
+structure's ``->gp_seq`` are zero, then this ``rcu_data`` structure
+believes that RCU is idle.
+
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| **Quick Quiz**: |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| All this replication of the grace period numbers can only cause |
+| massive confusion. Why not just keep a global sequence number and be |
+| done with it??? |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| **Answer**: |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| Because if there was only a single global sequence numbers, there |
+| would need to be a single global lock to allow safely accessing and |
+| updating it. And if we are not going to have a single global lock, we |
+| need to carefully manage the numbers on a per-node basis. Recall from |
+| the answer to a previous Quick Quiz that the consequences of applying |
+| a previously sampled quiescent state to the wrong grace period are |
+| quite severe. |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+
+The ``->cpu_no_qs`` flag indicates that the CPU has not yet passed
+through a quiescent state, while the ``->core_needs_qs`` flag indicates
+that the RCU core needs a quiescent state from the corresponding CPU.
+The ``->gpwrap`` field indicates that the corresponding CPU has remained
+idle for so long that the ``gp_seq`` counter is in danger of overflow,
+which will cause the CPU to disregard the values of its counters on its
+next exit from idle.
+
+RCU Callback Handling
+'''''''''''''''''''''
+
+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.
+
+This portion of the ``rcu_data`` structure is declared as follows:
+
+::
+
+ 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;
+
+The ``->cblist`` structure is the segmented callback list described
+earlier. The CPU advances the callbacks in its ``rcu_data`` 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 ``rcu_data`` structure's ``->gp_seq`` field differs from that of
+its leaf ``rcu_node`` structure. Recall that each ``rcu_node``
+structure's ``->gp_seq`` field is updated at the beginnings and ends of
+each grace period.
+
+The ``->qlen_last_fqs_check`` and ``->n_force_qs_snap`` coordinate the
+forcing of quiescent states from ``call_rcu()`` and friends when
+callback lists grow excessively long.
+
+The ``->n_cbs_invoked``, ``->n_cbs_orphaned``, and ``->n_cbs_adopted``
+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 ``->n_nocbs_invoked`` is used when the CPU's
+callbacks are offloaded to a kthread.
+
+Finally, the ``->blimit`` counter is the maximum number of RCU callbacks
+that may be invoked at a given time.
+
+Dyntick-Idle Handling
+'''''''''''''''''''''
+
+This portion of the ``rcu_data`` structure is declared as follows:
+
+::
+
+ 1 int dynticks_snap;
+ 2 unsigned long dynticks_fqs;
+
+The ``->dynticks_snap`` 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
+``->dynticks_fqs`` 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.
+
+This portion of the rcu_data structure is declared as follows:
+
+::
+
+ 1 long dynticks_nesting;
+ 2 long dynticks_nmi_nesting;
+ 3 atomic_t dynticks;
+ 4 bool rcu_need_heavy_qs;
+ 5 bool rcu_urgent_qs;
+
+These fields in the rcu_data structure maintain the per-CPU dyntick-idle
+state for the corresponding CPU. The fields may be accessed only from
+the corresponding CPU (and from tracing) unless otherwise stated.
+
+The ``->dynticks_nesting`` 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
+``->dynticks_nmi_nesting`` 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 ``->dynticks_nmi_nesting`` 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.
+
+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
+``->dynticks_nesting`` field is incremented up from zero, the
+``->dynticks_nmi_nesting`` field is set to a large positive number, and
+whenever the ``->dynticks_nesting`` field is decremented down to zero,
+the ``->dynticks_nmi_nesting`` field is set to zero. Assuming that
+the number of misnested interrupts is not sufficient to overflow the
+counter, this approach corrects the ``->dynticks_nmi_nesting`` field
+every time the corresponding CPU enters the idle loop from process
+context.
+
+The ``->dynticks`` field counts the corresponding CPU's transitions to
+and from either dyntick-idle or user mode, so that this counter has an
+even value when the CPU is in dyntick-idle mode or user mode and an odd
+value otherwise. The transitions to/from user mode need to be counted
+for user mode adaptive-ticks support (see timers/NO_HZ.txt).
+
+The ``->rcu_need_heavy_qs`` 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 ``cond_resched()`` code, which provide a momentary
+idle sojourn in response.
+
+Finally, the ``->rcu_urgent_qs`` 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 path (``rcu_note_context_switch``) and the cond_resched
+code.
+
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| **Quick Quiz**: |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| Why not simply combine the ``->dynticks_nesting`` and |
+| ``->dynticks_nmi_nesting`` counters into a single counter that just |
+| counts the number of reasons that the corresponding CPU is non-idle? |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| **Answer**: |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| Because this would fail in the presence of interrupts whose handlers |
+| never return and of handlers that manage to return from a made-up |
+| interrupt. |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+
+Additional fields are present for some special-purpose builds, and are
+discussed separately.
+
+The ``rcu_head`` Structure
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Each ``rcu_head`` 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 ``rcu_head`` structures.
+
+The ``rcu_head`` structure has fields as follows:
+
+::
+
+ 1 struct rcu_head *next;
+ 2 void (*func)(struct rcu_head *head);
+
+The ``->next`` field is used to link the ``rcu_head`` structures
+together in the lists within the ``rcu_data`` structures. The ``->func``
+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
+``rcu_head`` structure. However, ``kfree_rcu()`` uses the ``->func``
+field to record the offset of the ``rcu_head`` structure within the
+enclosing RCU-protected data structure.
+
+Both of these fields are used internally by RCU. From the viewpoint of
+RCU users, this structure is an opaque “cookie”.
+
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| **Quick Quiz**: |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| Given that the callback function ``->func`` is passed a pointer to |
+| the ``rcu_head`` structure, how is that function supposed to find the |
+| beginning of the enclosing RCU-protected data structure? |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| **Answer**: |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| In actual practice, there is a separate callback function per type of |
+| RCU-protected data structure. The callback function can therefore use |
+| the ``container_of()`` macro in the Linux kernel (or other |
+| pointer-manipulation facilities in other software environments) to |
+| find the beginning of the enclosing structure. |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+
+RCU-Specific Fields in the ``task_struct`` Structure
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The ``CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU`` implementation uses some additional fields in
+the ``task_struct`` structure:
+
+::
+
+ 1 #ifdef CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU
+ 2 int rcu_read_lock_nesting;
+ 3 union rcu_special rcu_read_unlock_special;
+ 4 struct list_head rcu_node_entry;
+ 5 struct rcu_node *rcu_blocked_node;
+ 6 #endif /* #ifdef CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU */
+ 7 #ifdef CONFIG_TASKS_RCU
+ 8 unsigned long rcu_tasks_nvcsw;
+ 9 bool rcu_tasks_holdout;
+ 10 struct list_head rcu_tasks_holdout_list;
+ 11 int rcu_tasks_idle_cpu;
+ 12 #endif /* #ifdef CONFIG_TASKS_RCU */
+
+The ``->rcu_read_lock_nesting`` field records the nesting level for RCU
+read-side critical sections, and the ``->rcu_read_unlock_special`` field
+is a bitmask that records special conditions that require
+``rcu_read_unlock()`` to do additional work. The ``->rcu_node_entry``
+field is used to form lists of tasks that have blocked within
+preemptible-RCU read-side critical sections and the
+``->rcu_blocked_node`` field references the ``rcu_node`` structure whose
+list this task is a member of, or ``NULL`` if it is not blocked within a
+preemptible-RCU read-side critical section.
+
+The ``->rcu_tasks_nvcsw`` field tracks the number of voluntary context
+switches that this task had undergone at the beginning of the current
+tasks-RCU grace period, ``->rcu_tasks_holdout`` is set if the current
+tasks-RCU grace period is waiting on this task,
+``->rcu_tasks_holdout_list`` is a list element enqueuing this task on
+the holdout list, and ``->rcu_tasks_idle_cpu`` tracks which CPU this
+idle task is running, but only if the task is currently running, that
+is, if the CPU is currently idle.
+
+Accessor Functions
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The following listing shows the ``rcu_get_root()``,
+``rcu_for_each_node_breadth_first`` and ``rcu_for_each_leaf_node()``
+function and macros:
+
+::
+
+ 1 static struct rcu_node *rcu_get_root(struct rcu_state *rsp)
+ 2 {
+ 3 return &rsp->node[0];
+ 4 }
+ 5
+ 6 #define rcu_for_each_node_breadth_first(rsp, rnp) \
+ 7 for ((rnp) = &(rsp)->node[0]; \
+ 8 (rnp) < &(rsp)->node[NUM_RCU_NODES]; (rnp)++)
+ 9
+ 10 #define rcu_for_each_leaf_node(rsp, rnp) \
+ 11 for ((rnp) = (rsp)->level[NUM_RCU_LVLS - 1]; \
+ 12 (rnp) < &(rsp)->node[NUM_RCU_NODES]; (rnp)++)
+
+The ``rcu_get_root()`` simply returns a pointer to the first element of
+the specified ``rcu_state`` structure's ``->node[]`` array, which is the
+root ``rcu_node`` structure.
+
+As noted earlier, the ``rcu_for_each_node_breadth_first()`` macro takes
+advantage of the layout of the ``rcu_node`` structures in the
+``rcu_state`` structure's ``->node[]`` array, performing a breadth-first
+traversal by simply traversing the array in order. Similarly, the
+``rcu_for_each_leaf_node()`` macro traverses only the last part of the
+array, thus traversing only the leaf ``rcu_node`` structures.
+
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| **Quick Quiz**: |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| What does ``rcu_for_each_leaf_node()`` do if the ``rcu_node`` tree |
+| contains only a single node? |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| **Answer**: |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| In the single-node case, ``rcu_for_each_leaf_node()`` traverses the |
+| single node. |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+
+Summary
+~~~~~~~
+
+So the state of RCU is represented by an ``rcu_state`` structure, which
+contains a combining tree of ``rcu_node`` and ``rcu_data`` structures.
+Finally, in ``CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE`` kernels, each CPU's dyntick-idle state
+is tracked by dynticks-related fields in the ``rcu_data`` structure. If
+you made it this far, you are well prepared to read the code
+walkthroughs in the other articles in this series.

+=================================================
+A Tour Through TREE_RCU's Expedited Grace Periods
+=================================================
+
+Introduction
+============
+
+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.
+
+There are two flavors of RCU (RCU-preempt and RCU-sched), with an earlier
+third RCU-bh flavor having been implemented in terms of the other two.
+Each of the two implementations is covered in its own section.
+
+Expedited Grace Period Design
+=============================
+
+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 ``try_stop_cpus()`` has been
+replaced with a set of calls to ``smp_call_function_single()``,
+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.
+
+The details of the ``smp_call_function_single()`` handler's
+operation depend on the RCU flavor, as described in the following
+sections.
+
+RCU-preempt Expedited Grace Periods
+===================================
+
+``CONFIG_PREEMPT=y`` kernels implement RCU-preempt.
+The overall flow of the handling of a given CPU by an RCU-preempt
+expedited grace period is shown in the following diagram:
+
+.. kernel-figure:: ExpRCUFlow.svg
+
+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.
+
+If a given CPU is offline or idle, ``synchronize_rcu_expedited()``
+will ignore it because idle and offline CPUs are already residing
+in quiescent states.
+Otherwise, the expedited grace period will use
+``smp_call_function_single()`` to send the CPU an IPI, which
+is handled by ``rcu_exp_handler()``.
+
+However, because this is preemptible RCU, ``rcu_exp_handler()``
+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 ``rcu_read_unlock()``
+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.
+
+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 ``rcu_read_unlock()``.
+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 ``rcu_preempt_ctxt_queue()``,
+which is called from ``rcu_preempt_note_context_switch()``, which
+in turn is called from ``rcu_note_context_switch()``, which in
+turn is called from the scheduler.
+
+
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| **Quick Quiz**: |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| Why not just have the expedited grace period check the state of all |
+| the CPUs? After all, that would avoid all those real-time-unfriendly |
+| IPIs. |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| **Answer**: |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| Because we want the RCU read-side critical sections to run fast, |
+| which means no memory barriers. Therefore, it is not possible to |
+| safely check the state from some other CPU. And even if it was |
+| possible to safely check the state, it would still be necessary to |
+| IPI the CPU to safely interact with the upcoming |
+| ``rcu_read_unlock()`` invocation, which means that the remote state |
+| testing would not help the worst-case latency that real-time |
+| applications care about. |
+| |
+| One way to prevent your real-time application from getting hit with |
+| these IPIs is to build your kernel with ``CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y``. RCU |
+| would then perceive the CPU running your application as being idle, |
+| and it would be able to safely detect that state without needing to |
+| IPI the CPU. |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+
+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.
+
+RCU-sched Expedited Grace Periods
+---------------------------------
+
+``CONFIG_PREEMPT=n`` kernels implement RCU-sched. The overall flow of
+the handling of a given CPU by an RCU-sched expedited grace period is
+shown in the following diagram:
+
+.. kernel-figure:: ExpSchedFlow.svg
+
+As with RCU-preempt, RCU-sched's ``synchronize_rcu_expedited()`` ignores
+offline and idle CPUs, again because they are in remotely detectable
+quiescent states. However, because the ``rcu_read_lock_sched()`` and
+``rcu_read_unlock_sched()`` 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 RCU-sched's
+``rcu_exp_handler()`` 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 ``rcu_exp_handler()`` reports the quiescent state.
+
+Otherwise, the handler forces a future context switch by setting the
+NEED_RESCHED flag of the current task's thread flag and the CPU preempt
+counter. 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.
+
+Expedited Grace Period and CPU Hotplug
+--------------------------------------
+
+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.
+
+The interaction between expedited grace periods and CPU hotplug
+operations is carried out at several levels:
+
+#. The number of CPUs that have ever been online is tracked by the
+ ``rcu_state`` structure's ``->ncpus`` field. The ``rcu_state``
+ structure's ``->ncpus_snap`` 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.
+#. The identities of the CPUs that have ever been online is tracked by
+ the ``rcu_node`` structure's ``->expmaskinitnext`` field. The
+ ``rcu_node`` structure's ``->expmaskinit`` 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
+ ``rcu_state`` structure's ``->ncpus`` and ``->ncpus_snap`` fields are
+ used to detect when new CPUs have come online for the first time,
+ that is, when the ``rcu_node`` structure's ``->expmaskinitnext``
+ field has changed since the beginning of the last RCU expedited grace
+ period, which triggers an update of each ``rcu_node`` structure's
+ ``->expmaskinit`` field from its ``->expmaskinitnext`` field.
+#. Each ``rcu_node`` structure's ``->expmaskinit`` field is used to
+ initialize that structure's ``->expmask`` 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.
+#. Any CPU that goes offline will clear its bit in its leaf ``rcu_node``
+ structure's ``->qsmaskinitnext`` 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
+ ``cpu_online`` returns ``false``.
+#. For each non-idle CPU that RCU believes is currently online, the
+ grace period invokes ``smp_call_function_single()``. 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.
+#. In the case of RCU-sched, one of the last acts of an outgoing CPU is
+ to invoke ``rcu_report_dead()``, which reports a quiescent state for
+ that CPU. However, this is likely paranoia-induced redundancy.
+
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| **Quick Quiz**: |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| 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? |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| **Answer**: |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| Maintaining single set of masks tracking the online CPUs *sounds* |
+| 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. |
+| 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 over the |
+| single-mask method. |
+| |
+| This is an instance of `deferring work in order to avoid |
+| synchronization <http://www.cs.columbia.edu/~library/TR-repository/re |
+| ports/reports-1992/cucs-039-92.ps.gz>`__. |
+| Lazily recording CPU-hotplug events at the beginning of the next |
+| grace period greatly simplifies maintenance of the CPU-tracking |
+| bitmasks in the ``rcu_node`` tree. |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+
+Expedited Grace Period Refinements
+----------------------------------
+
+Idle-CPU Checks
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+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 ``sync_rcu_exp_select_cpus()``). 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 ``rcu_report_exp_cpu_mult()``.
+
+For RCU-sched, there is an additional check: If the IPI has interrupted
+the idle loop, then ``rcu_exp_handler()`` invokes
+``rcu_report_exp_rdp()`` to report the corresponding quiescent state.
+
+For RCU-preempt, there is no specific check for idle in the IPI handler
+(``rcu_exp_handler()``), but because RCU read-side critical sections are
+not permitted within the idle loop, if ``rcu_exp_handler()`` sees that
+the CPU is within RCU read-side critical section, the CPU cannot
+possibly be idle. Otherwise, ``rcu_exp_handler()`` invokes
+``rcu_report_exp_rdp()`` to report the corresponding quiescent state,
+regardless of whether or not that quiescent state was due to the CPU
+being idle.
+
+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.
+
+Batching via Sequence Counter
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+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 *batch* requests, so
+that a single expedited grace-period operation will cover all requests
+in the corresponding batch.
+
+This batching is controlled by a sequence counter named
+``->expedited_sequence`` in the ``rcu_state`` 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 ``s``, the updater must wait until the counter
+reaches at least the value ``(s+3)&~0x1``. This counter is managed by
+the following access functions:
+
+#. ``rcu_exp_gp_seq_start()``, which marks the start of an expedited
+ grace period.
+#. ``rcu_exp_gp_seq_end()``, which marks the end of an expedited grace
+ period.
+#. ``rcu_exp_gp_seq_snap()``, which obtains a snapshot of the counter.
+#. ``rcu_exp_gp_seq_done()``, which returns ``true`` if a full expedited
+ grace period has elapsed since the corresponding call to
+ ``rcu_exp_gp_seq_snap()``.
+
+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.
+
+Funnel Locking and Wait/Wakeup
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The natural way to sort out which of a batch of updaters will initiate
+the expedited grace period is to use the ``rcu_node`` combining tree, as
+implemented by the ``exp_funnel_lock()`` function. The first updater
+corresponding to a given grace period arriving at a given ``rcu_node``
+structure records its desired grace-period sequence number in the
+``->exp_seq_rq`` field and moves up to the next level in the tree.
+Otherwise, if the ``->exp_seq_rq`` 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 ``->exp_wq[]`` array, using the
+second-from-bottom and third-from bottom bits as an index. An
+``->exp_lock`` field in the ``rcu_node`` structure synchronizes access
+to these fields.
+
+An empty ``rcu_node`` tree is shown in the following diagram, with the
+white cells representing the ``->exp_seq_rq`` field and the red cells
+representing the elements of the ``->exp_wq[]`` array.
+
+.. kernel-figure:: Funnel0.svg
+
+The next diagram shows the situation after the arrival of Task A and
+Task B at the leftmost and rightmost leaf ``rcu_node`` structures,
+respectively. The current value of the ``rcu_state`` structure's
+``->expedited_sequence`` field is zero, so adding three and clearing the
+bottom bit results in the value two, which both tasks record in the
+``->exp_seq_rq`` field of their respective ``rcu_node`` structures:
+
+.. kernel-figure:: Funnel1.svg
+
+Each of Tasks A and B will move up to the root ``rcu_node`` structure.
+Suppose that Task A wins, recording its desired grace-period sequence
+number and resulting in the state shown below:
+
+.. kernel-figure:: Funnel2.svg
+
+Task A now advances to initiate a new grace period, while Task B moves
+up to the root ``rcu_node`` structure, and, seeing that its desired
+sequence number is already recorded, blocks on ``->exp_wq[1]``.
+
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| **Quick Quiz**: |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| Why ``->exp_wq[1]``? Given that the value of these tasks' desired |
+| sequence number is two, so shouldn't they instead block on |
+| ``->exp_wq[2]``? |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| **Answer**: |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| No. |
+| Recall that the bottom bit of the desired sequence number indicates |
+| whether or not a grace period is currently in progress. It is |
+| therefore necessary to shift the sequence number right one bit |
+| position to obtain the number of the grace period. This results in |
+| ``->exp_wq[1]``. |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+
+If Tasks C and D also arrive at this point, they will compute the same
+desired grace-period sequence number, and see that both leaf
+``rcu_node`` structures already have that value recorded. They will
+therefore block on their respective ``rcu_node`` structures'
+``->exp_wq[1]`` fields, as shown below:
+
+.. kernel-figure:: Funnel3.svg
+
+Task A now acquires the ``rcu_state`` structure's ``->exp_mutex`` and
+initiates the grace period, which increments ``->expedited_sequence``.
+Therefore, if Tasks E and F arrive, they will compute a desired sequence
+number of 4 and will record this value as shown below:
+
+.. kernel-figure:: Funnel4.svg
+
+Tasks E and F will propagate up the ``rcu_node`` combining tree, with
+Task F blocking on the root ``rcu_node`` structure and Task E wait for
+Task A to finish so that it can start the next grace period. The
+resulting state is as shown below:
+
+.. kernel-figure:: Funnel5.svg
+
+Once the grace period completes, Task A starts waking up the tasks
+waiting for this grace period to complete, increments the
+``->expedited_sequence``, acquires the ``->exp_wake_mutex`` and then
+releases the ``->exp_mutex``. This results in the following state:
+
+.. kernel-figure:: Funnel6.svg
+
+Task E can then acquire ``->exp_mutex`` and increment
+``->expedited_sequence`` to the value three. If new tasks G and H arrive
+and moves up the combining tree at the same time, the state will be as
+follows:
+
+.. kernel-figure:: Funnel7.svg
+
+Note that three of the root ``rcu_node`` structure's waitqueues are now
+occupied. However, at some point, Task A will wake up the tasks blocked
+on the ``->exp_wq`` waitqueues, resulting in the following state:
+
+.. kernel-figure:: Funnel8.svg
+
+Execution will continue with Tasks E and H completing their grace
+periods and carrying out their wakeups.
+
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| **Quick Quiz**: |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| What happens if Task A takes so long to do its wakeups that Task E's |
+| grace period completes? |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| **Answer**: |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| Then Task E will block on the ``->exp_wake_mutex``, which will also |
+| prevent it from releasing ``->exp_mutex``, which in turn will prevent |
+| the next grace period from starting. This last is important in |
+| preventing overflow of the ``->exp_wq[]`` array. |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+
+Use of Workqueues
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+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
+`workqueues <https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/core-api/workqueue.rst>`__.
+
+The requesting task still does counter snapshotting and funnel-lock
+processing, but the task reaching the top of the funnel lock does a
+``schedule_work()`` (from ``_synchronize_rcu_expedited()`` 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 ``->exp_mutex`` guard
+expedited grace-period processing and the ``->exp_wake_mutex`` guard
+wakeups. The key point is that the ``->exp_mutex`` is not released until
+the first wakeup is complete, which means that the ``->exp_wake_mutex``
+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.
+
+Stall Warnings
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+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.
+
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| **Quick Quiz**: |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| 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? |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| **Answer**: |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| 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. |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+
+The ``synchronize_sched_expedited_wait()`` 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
+``rcu_node`` 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.
+
+Mid-boot operation
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+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 “dead
+zone”, expedited grace periods must do something else during thie time.
+
+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.
+
+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.
+
+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.
+
+With this refinement, synchronous grace periods can now be used from
+task context pretty much any time during the life of the kernel. That
+is, aside from some points in the suspend, hibernate, or shutdown code
+path.
+
+Summary
+~~~~~~~
+
+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 ``rcu_node``
+structure. The actual grace-period processing is carried out by a
+workqueue.
+
+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.
+
+Quiescent states are tracked using the ``rcu_node`` 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.
+
+This combination of mechanisms allows expedited grace periods to run

+======================================================
+A Tour Through TREE_RCU's Grace-Period Memory Ordering
+======================================================
+
+August 8, 2017
+
+This article was contributed by Paul E. McKenney
+
+Introduction
+============
+
+This document gives a rough visual overview of how Tree RCU's
+grace-period memory ordering guarantee is provided.
+
+What Is Tree RCU's Grace Period Memory Ordering Guarantee?
+==========================================================
+
+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.
+
+Note well that 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
+``synchronize_rcu()`` as ``smp_mb()`` on steroids.
+
+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).
+
+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.
+
+Tree RCU Grace Period Memory Ordering Building Blocks
+=====================================================
+
+The workhorse for RCU's grace-period memory ordering is the
+critical section for the ``rcu_node`` structure's
+``->lock``. These critical sections use helper functions for lock
+acquisition, including ``raw_spin_lock_rcu_node()``,
+``raw_spin_lock_irq_rcu_node()``, and ``raw_spin_lock_irqsave_rcu_node()``.
+Their lock-release counterparts are ``raw_spin_unlock_rcu_node()``,
+``raw_spin_unlock_irq_rcu_node()``, and
+``raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore_rcu_node()``, respectively.
+For completeness, a ``raw_spin_trylock_rcu_node()`` is also provided.
+The key point is that the lock-acquisition functions, including
+``raw_spin_trylock_rcu_node()``, all invoke ``smp_mb__after_unlock_lock()``
+immediately after successful acquisition of the lock.
+
+Therefore, for any given ``rcu_node`` structure, 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 ``rcu_node`` 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.
+
+The following litmus test exhibits the ordering effects of these
+lock-acquisition and lock-release functions::
+
+ 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 && r2 == 0 && r3 == 0);
+
+The ``WARN_ON()`` is evaluated at "the end of time",
+after all changes have propagated throughout the system.
+Without the ``smp_mb__after_unlock_lock()`` provided by the
+acquisition functions, this ``WARN_ON()`` could trigger, for example
+on PowerPC.
+The ``smp_mb__after_unlock_lock()`` invocations prevent this
+``WARN_ON()`` from triggering.
+
+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
+``atomic_add_return()`` read-modify-write atomic operation that
+is invoked within ``rcu_dynticks_eqs_enter()`` at idle-entry
+time and within ``rcu_dynticks_eqs_exit()`` at idle-exit time.
+The grace-period kthread invokes ``rcu_dynticks_snap()`` and
+``rcu_dynticks_in_eqs_since()`` (both of which invoke
+an ``atomic_add_return()`` of zero) to detect idle CPUs.
+
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| **Quick Quiz**: |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| But what about CPUs that remain offline for the entire grace period? |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| **Answer**: |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| Such CPUs will be offline at the beginning of the grace period, so |
+| the grace period won't expect quiescent states from them. Races |
+| between grace-period start and CPU-hotplug operations are mediated |
+| by the CPU's leaf ``rcu_node`` structure's ``->lock`` as described |
+| above. |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+
+The approach must be extended to handle one final case, that of waking a
+task blocked in ``synchronize_rcu()``. 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 the grace period's memory ordering.
+Therefore, there is an ``smp_mb()`` after the return from
+``wait_for_completion()`` in the ``synchronize_rcu()`` code path.
+
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| **Quick Quiz**: |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| What? Where??? I don't see any ``smp_mb()`` after the return from |
+| ``wait_for_completion()``!!! |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| **Answer**: |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| That would be because I spotted the need for that ``smp_mb()`` during |
+| the creation of this documentation, and it is therefore unlikely to |
+| hit mainline before v4.14. Kudos to Lance Roy, Will Deacon, Peter |
+| Zijlstra, and Jonathan Cameron for asking questions that sensitized |
+| me to the rather elaborate sequence of events that demonstrate the |
+| need for this memory barrier. |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+
+Tree RCU's grace--period memory-ordering guarantees rely most heavily on
+the ``rcu_node`` structure's ``->lock`` field, so much so that it is
+necessary to abbreviate this pattern in the diagrams in the next
+section. For example, consider the ``rcu_prepare_for_idle()`` function
+shown below, which is one of several functions that enforce ordering of
+newly arrived RCU callbacks against future grace periods:
+
+::
+
+ 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(&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->tick_nohz_enabled_snap) {
+ 15 if (rcu_cpu_has_callbacks(NULL))
+ 16 invoke_rcu_core();
+ 17 rdtp->tick_nohz_enabled_snap = tne;
+ 18 return;
+ 19 }
+ 20 if (!tne)
+ 21 return;
+ 22 if (rdtp->all_lazy &&
+ 23 rdtp->nonlazy_posted != rdtp->nonlazy_posted_snap) {
+ 24 rdtp->all_lazy = false;
+ 25 rdtp->nonlazy_posted_snap = rdtp->nonlazy_posted;
+ 26 invoke_rcu_core();
+ 27 return;
+ 28 }
+ 29 if (rdtp->last_accelerate == jiffies)
+ 30 return;
+ 31 rdtp->last_accelerate = jiffies;
+ 32 for_each_rcu_flavor(rsp) {
+ 33 rdp = this_cpu_ptr(rsp->rda);
+ 34 if (rcu_segcblist_pend_cbs(&rdp->cblist))
+ 35 continue;
+ 36 rnp = rdp->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 }
+
+But the only part of ``rcu_prepare_for_idle()`` that really matters for
+this discussion are lines 37–39. We will therefore abbreviate this
+function as follows:
+
+.. kernel-figure:: rcu_node-lock.svg
+
+The box represents the ``rcu_node`` structure's ``->lock`` critical
+section, with the double line on top representing the additional
+``smp_mb__after_unlock_lock()``.
+
+Tree RCU Grace Period Memory Ordering Components
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Tree RCU's grace-period memory-ordering guarantee is provided by a
+number of RCU components:
+
+#. `Callback Registry`_
+#. `Grace-Period Initialization`_
+#. `Self-Reported Quiescent States`_
+#. `Dynamic Tick Interface`_
+#. `CPU-Hotplug Interface`_
+#. `Forcing Quiescent States`_
+#. `Grace-Period Cleanup`_
+#. `Callback Invocation`_
+
+Each of the following section looks at the corresponding component in
+detail.
+
+Callback Registry
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+If RCU's grace-period guarantee is to mean anything at all, any access
+that happens before a given invocation of ``call_rcu()`` 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:
+
+.. kernel-figure:: TreeRCU-callback-registry.svg
+
+Because ``call_rcu()`` 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 ``rcu_head``
+structure on a per-CPU list, which cannot become associated with a grace
+period until a later call to ``rcu_accelerate_cbs()``, as shown in the
+diagram above.
+
+One set of code paths shown on the left invokes ``rcu_accelerate_cbs()``
+via ``note_gp_changes()``, either directly from ``call_rcu()`` (if the
+current CPU is inundated with queued ``rcu_head`` structures) or more
+likely from an ``RCU_SOFTIRQ`` handler. Another code path in the middle
+is taken only in kernels built with ``CONFIG_RCU_FAST_NO_HZ=y``, which
+invokes ``rcu_accelerate_cbs()`` via ``rcu_prepare_for_idle()``. The
+final code path on the right is taken only in kernels built with
+``CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=y``, which invokes ``rcu_accelerate_cbs()`` via
+``rcu_advance_cbs()``, ``rcu_migrate_callbacks``,
+``rcutree_migrate_callbacks()``, and ``takedown_cpu()``, which in turn
+is invoked on a surviving CPU after the outgoing CPU has been completely
+offlined.
+
+There are a few other code paths within grace-period processing that
+opportunistically invoke ``rcu_accelerate_cbs()``. However, either way,
+all of the CPU's recently queued ``rcu_head`` structures are associated
+with a future grace-period number under the protection of the CPU's lead
+``rcu_node`` structure's ``->lock``. In all cases, there is full
+ordering against any prior critical section for that same ``rcu_node``
+structure's ``->lock``, and also full ordering against any of the
+current task's or CPU's prior critical sections for any ``rcu_node``
+structure's ``->lock``.
+
+The next section will show how this ordering ensures that any accesses
+prior to the ``call_rcu()`` (particularly including phase one of the
+update) happen before the start of the corresponding grace period.
+
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| **Quick Quiz**: |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| But what about ``synchronize_rcu()``? |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| **Answer**: |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| The ``synchronize_rcu()`` passes ``call_rcu()`` to ``wait_rcu_gp()``, |
+| which invokes it. So either way, it eventually comes down to |
+| ``call_rcu()``. |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+
+Grace-Period Initialization
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Grace-period initialization is carried out by the grace-period kernel
+thread, which makes several passes over the ``rcu_node`` tree within the
+``rcu_gp_init()`` 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
+``rcu_node`` changes over time, just like Heraclitus's river. However,
+to keep the ``rcu_node`` 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.
+
+The first ordering-related grace-period initialization action is to
+advance the ``rcu_state`` structure's ``->gp_seq`` grace-period-number
+counter, as shown below:
+
+.. kernel-figure:: TreeRCU-gp-init-1.svg
+
+The actual increment is carried out using ``smp_store_release()``, which
+helps reject false-positive RCU CPU stall detection. Note that only the
+root ``rcu_node`` structure is touched.
+
+The first pass through the ``rcu_node`` 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 ``rcu_node`` structure has not transitioned to or from zero, this
+pass will scan only the leaf ``rcu_node`` structures. However, if the
+number of online CPUs for a given leaf ``rcu_node`` structure has
+transitioned from zero, ``rcu_init_new_rnp()`` will be invoked for the
+first incoming CPU. Similarly, if the number of online CPUs for a given
+leaf ``rcu_node`` structure has transitioned to zero,
+``rcu_cleanup_dead_rnp()`` will be invoked for the last outgoing CPU.
+The diagram below shows the path of ordering if the leftmost
+``rcu_node`` structure onlines its first CPU and if the next
+``rcu_node`` structure has no online CPUs (or, alternatively if the
+leftmost ``rcu_node`` structure offlines its last CPU and if the next
+``rcu_node`` structure has no online CPUs).
+
+.. kernel-figure:: TreeRCU-gp-init-1.svg
+
+The final ``rcu_gp_init()`` pass through the ``rcu_node`` tree traverses
+breadth-first, setting each ``rcu_node`` structure's ``->gp_seq`` field
+to the newly advanced value from the ``rcu_state`` structure, as shown
+in the following diagram.
+
+.. kernel-figure:: TreeRCU-gp-init-1.svg
+
+This change will also cause each CPU's next call to
+``__note_gp_changes()`` to notice that a new grace period has started,
+as described in the next section. But because the grace-period kthread
+started the grace period at the root (with the advancing of the
+``rcu_state`` structure's ``->gp_seq`` field) before setting each leaf
+``rcu_node`` structure's ``->gp_seq`` field, each CPU's observation of
+the start of the grace period will happen after the actual start of the
+grace period.
+
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| **Quick Quiz**: |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| But what about the CPU that started the grace period? Why wouldn't it |
+| see the start of the grace period right when it started that grace |
+| period? |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| **Answer**: |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| In some deep philosophical and overly anthromorphized sense, yes, the |
+| CPU starting the grace period is immediately aware of having done so. |
+| However, if we instead assume that RCU is not self-aware, then even |
+| the CPU starting the grace period does not really become aware of the |
+| start of this grace period until its first call to |
+| ``__note_gp_changes()``. On the other hand, this CPU potentially gets |
+| early notification because it invokes ``__note_gp_changes()`` during |
+| its last ``rcu_gp_init()`` pass through its leaf ``rcu_node`` |
+| structure. |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+
+Self-Reported Quiescent States
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+When all entities that might block the grace period have reported
+quiescent states (or as described in a later section, had quiescent
+states reported on their behalf), the grace period can end. Online
+non-idle CPUs report their own quiescent states, as shown in the
+following diagram:
+
+.. kernel-figure:: TreeRCU-qs.svg
+
+This is for the last CPU to report a quiescent state, which signals the
+end of the grace period. Earlier quiescent states would push up the
+``rcu_node`` tree only until they encountered an ``rcu_node`` structure
+that is waiting for additional quiescent states. However, ordering is
+nevertheless preserved because some later quiescent state will acquire
+that ``rcu_node`` structure's ``->lock``.
+
+Any number of events can lead up to a CPU invoking ``note_gp_changes``
+(or alternatively, directly invoking ``__note_gp_changes()``), at which
+point that CPU will notice the start of a new grace period while holding
+its leaf ``rcu_node`` lock. Therefore, all execution shown in this
+diagram happens after the start of the grace period. In addition, this
+CPU will consider any RCU read-side critical section that started before
+the invocation of ``__note_gp_changes()`` to have started before the
+grace period, and thus a critical section that the grace period must
+wait on.
+
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| **Quick Quiz**: |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| But a RCU read-side critical section might have started after the |
+| beginning of the grace period (the advancing of ``->gp_seq`` from |
+| earlier), so why should the grace period wait on such a critical |
+| section? |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| **Answer**: |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| It is indeed not necessary for the grace period to wait on such a |
+| critical section. However, it is permissible to wait on it. And it is |
+| furthermore important to wait on it, as this lazy approach is far |
+| more scalable than a “big bang” all-at-once grace-period start could |
+| possibly be. |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+
+If the CPU does a context switch, a quiescent state will be noted by
+``rcu_note_context_switch()`` on the left. On the other hand, if the CPU
+takes a scheduler-clock interrupt while executing in usermode, a
+quiescent state will be noted by ``rcu_sched_clock_irq()`` on the right.
+Either way, the passage through a quiescent state will be noted in a
+per-CPU variable.
+
+The next time an ``RCU_SOFTIRQ`` handler executes on this CPU (for
+example, after the next scheduler-clock interrupt), ``rcu_core()`` will
+invoke ``rcu_check_quiescent_state()``, which will notice the recorded
+quiescent state, and invoke ``rcu_report_qs_rdp()``. If
+``rcu_report_qs_rdp()`` verifies that the quiescent state really does
+apply to the current grace period, it invokes ``rcu_report_rnp()`` which
+traverses up the ``rcu_node`` tree as shown at the bottom of the
+diagram, clearing bits from each ``rcu_node`` structure's ``->qsmask``
+field, and propagating up the tree when the result is zero.
+
+Note that traversal passes upwards out of a given ``rcu_node`` structure
+only if the current CPU is reporting the last quiescent state for the
+subtree headed by that ``rcu_node`` structure. A key point is that if a
+CPU's traversal stops at a given ``rcu_node`` structure, then there will
+be a later traversal by another CPU (or perhaps the same one) that
+proceeds upwards from that point, and the ``rcu_node`` ``->lock``
+guarantees that the first CPU's quiescent state happens before the
+remainder of the second CPU's traversal. Applying this line of thought
+repeatedly shows that all CPUs' quiescent states happen before the last
+CPU traverses through the root ``rcu_node`` structure, the “last CPU”
+being the one that clears the last bit in the root ``rcu_node``
+structure's ``->qsmask`` field.
+
+Dynamic Tick Interface
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Due to energy-efficiency considerations, RCU is forbidden from
+disturbing idle CPUs. 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:
+
+.. kernel-figure:: TreeRCU-dyntick.svg
+
+The RCU grace-period kernel thread samples the per-CPU idleness variable
+while holding the corresponding CPU's leaf ``rcu_node`` structure's
+``->lock``. 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 idle period (the oval near
+the bottom of the diagram above).
+
+Plumbing this into the full grace-period execution is described
+`below <#Forcing%20Quiescent%20States>`__.
+
+CPU-Hotplug Interface
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+RCU is also forbidden from disturbing offline CPUs, which might well be
+powered off and removed from the system completely. 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:
+
+.. kernel-figure:: TreeRCU-hotplug.svg
+
+Because CPU hotplug operations are much less frequent than idle
+transitions, they are heavier weight, and thus acquire the CPU's leaf
+``rcu_node`` structure's ``->lock`` and update this structure's
+``->qsmaskinitnext``. The RCU grace-period kernel thread samples this
+mask to detect CPUs having gone offline since the beginning of this
+grace period.
+
+Plumbing this into the full grace-period execution is described
+`below <#Forcing%20Quiescent%20States>`__.
+
+Forcing Quiescent States
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+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 “forcing quiescent
+states”, it is repeated every few jiffies, and its ordering effects are
+shown below:
+
+.. kernel-figure:: TreeRCU-gp-fqs.svg
+
+Each pass of quiescent state forcing is guaranteed to traverse the leaf
+``rcu_node`` 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 once it
+reaches an ``rcu_node`` structure that has quiescent states outstanding
+from other CPUs.
+
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| **Quick Quiz**: |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| The leftmost drive to root stopped before it reached the root |
+| ``rcu_node`` structure, which means that there are still CPUs |
+| subordinate to that structure on which the current grace period is |
+| waiting. Given that, how is it possible that the rightmost drive to |
+| root ended the grace period? |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| **Answer**: |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| Good analysis! It is in fact impossible in the absence of bugs in |
+| RCU. But this diagram is complex enough as it is, so simplicity |
+| overrode accuracy. You can think of it as poetic license, or you can |
+| think of it as misdirection that is resolved in the |
+| `stitched-together diagram <#Putting%20It%20All%20Together>`__. |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+
+Grace-Period Cleanup
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Grace-period cleanup first scans the ``rcu_node`` tree breadth-first
+advancing all the ``->gp_seq`` fields, then it advances the
+``rcu_state`` structure's ``->gp_seq`` field. The ordering effects are
+shown below:
+
+.. kernel-figure:: TreeRCU-gp-cleanup.svg
+
+As indicated by the oval at the bottom of the diagram, once grace-period
+cleanup is complete, the next grace period can begin.
+
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| **Quick Quiz**: |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| But when precisely does the grace period end? |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| **Answer**: |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| There is no useful single point at which the grace period can be said |
+| to end. The earliest reasonable candidate is as soon as the last CPU |
+| has reported its quiescent state, but it may be some milliseconds |
+| before RCU becomes aware of this. The latest reasonable candidate is |
+| once the ``rcu_state`` structure's ``->gp_seq`` field has been |
+| updated, but it is quite possible that some CPUs have already |
+| completed phase two of their updates by that time. In short, if you |
+| are going to work with RCU, you need to learn to embrace uncertainty. |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+
+Callback Invocation
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Once a given CPU's leaf ``rcu_node`` structure's ``->gp_seq`` 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
+``rcu_advance_cbs()``, which is usually invoked by
+``__note_gp_changes()``. As shown in the diagram below, this invocation
+can be triggered by the scheduling-clock interrupt
+(``rcu_sched_clock_irq()`` on the left) or by idle entry
+(``rcu_cleanup_after_idle()`` on the right, but only for kernels build
+with ``CONFIG_RCU_FAST_NO_HZ=y``). Either way, ``RCU_SOFTIRQ`` is
+raised, which results in ``rcu_do_batch()`` 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.
+
+.. kernel-figure:: TreeRCU-callback-invocation.svg
+
+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 ``rcu_node`` structure's ``->lock`` before invoking callbacks,
+which preserves the required ordering against the newly completed grace
+period.
+
+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 `grace-period
+cleanup <#Grace-Period%20Cleanup>`__ diagram. The callback might be
+running on a CPU corresponding to the leftmost leaf ``rcu_node``
+structure, and awaken a task that is to run on a CPU corresponding to
+the rightmost leaf ``rcu_node`` 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.

+A Tour Through RCU's Requirements

+Introduction
+------------
+
+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.
+
+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.
+
+All that aside, here are the categories of currently known RCU
+requirements:
+
+#. `Fundamental Requirements`_
+#. `Fundamental Non-Requirements`_
+#. `Parallelism Facts of Life`_
+#. `Quality-of-Implementation Requirements`_
+#. `Linux Kernel Complications`_
+#. `Software-Engineering Requirements`_
+#. `Other RCU Flavors`_
+#. `Possible Future Changes`_
+
+This is followed by a `summary <#Summary>`__, however, the answers to
+each quick quiz immediately follows the quiz. Select the big white space
+with your mouse to see the answer.
+
+Fundamental Requirements
+------------------------
+
+RCU's fundamental requirements are the closest thing RCU has to hard
+mathematical requirements. These are:

+Grace-Period Guarantee
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+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 “rclock”) in the early 1990s. That said, the past
+two decades of experience with RCU have produced a much more detailed
+understanding of this guarantee.
+
+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 ``rcu_read_lock()`` and ends
+with the marker ``rcu_read_unlock()``. These markers may be nested, and
+RCU treats a nested set as one big RCU read-side critical section.
+Production-quality implementations of ``rcu_read_lock()`` and
+``rcu_read_unlock()`` are extremely lightweight, and in fact have
+exactly zero overhead in Linux kernels built for production use with
+``CONFIG_PREEMPT=n``.
+
+This guarantee allows ordering to be enforced with extremely low
+overhead to readers, for example:
+
+ ::
+
+ 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 }
+
+Because the ``synchronize_rcu()`` on line 14 waits for all pre-existing
+readers, any instance of ``thread0()`` that loads a value of zero from
+``x`` must complete before ``thread1()`` stores to ``y``, so that
+instance must also load a value of zero from ``y``. Similarly, any
+instance of ``thread0()`` that loads a value of one from ``y`` must have
+started after the ``synchronize_rcu()`` started, and must therefore also
+load a value of one from ``x``. Therefore, the outcome:
+
+ ::
+
+ (r1 == 0 && r2 == 1)
+
+cannot happen.
+
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| **Quick Quiz**: |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| Wait a minute! You said that updaters can make useful forward |
+| progress concurrently with readers, but pre-existing readers will |
+| block ``synchronize_rcu()``!!! |
+| Just who are you trying to fool??? |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| **Answer**: |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| First, if updaters do not wish to be blocked by readers, they can use |
+| ``call_rcu()`` or ``kfree_rcu()``, which will be discussed later. |
+| Second, even when using ``synchronize_rcu()``, the other update-side |
+| code does run concurrently with readers, whether pre-existing or not. |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+
+This scenario resembles one of the first uses of RCU in
+`DYNIX/ptx <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DYNIX>`__, which managed a
+distributed lock manager's transition into a state suitable for handling
+recovery from node failure, more or less as follows:
+
+ ::
+
+ 1 #define STATE_NORMAL 0
+ 2 #define STATE_WANT_RECOVERY 1
+ 3 #define STATE_RECOVERING 2
+ 4 #define STATE_WANT_NORMAL 3
+ 5
+ 6 int state = STATE_NORMAL;
+ 7
+ 8 void do_something_dlm(void)
+ 9 {
+ 10 int state_snap;
+ 11
+ 12 rcu_read_lock();
+ 13 state_snap = READ_ONCE(state);
+ 14 if (state_snap == STATE_NORMAL)
+ 15 do_something();
+ 16 else
+ 17 do_something_carefully();
+ 18 rcu_read_unlock();
+ 19 }
+ 20
+ 21 void start_recovery(void)
+ 22 {
+ 23 WRITE_ONCE(state, STATE_WANT_RECOVERY);
+ 24 synchronize_rcu();
+ 25 WRITE_ONCE(state, STATE_RECOVERING);
+ 26 recovery();
+ 27 WRITE_ONCE(state, STATE_WANT_NORMAL);
+ 28 synchronize_rcu();
+ 29 WRITE_ONCE(state, STATE_NORMAL);
+ 30 }
+
+The RCU read-side critical section in ``do_something_dlm()`` works with
+the ``synchronize_rcu()`` in ``start_recovery()`` to guarantee that
+``do_something()`` never runs concurrently with ``recovery()``, but with
+little or no synchronization overhead in ``do_something_dlm()``.
+
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| **Quick Quiz**: |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| Why is the ``synchronize_rcu()`` on line 28 needed? |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| **Answer**: |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| Without that extra grace period, memory reordering could result in |
+| ``do_something_dlm()`` executing ``do_something()`` concurrently with |
+| the last bits of ``recovery()``. |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+
+In order to avoid fatal problems such as deadlocks, an RCU read-side
+critical section must not contain calls to ``synchronize_rcu()``.
+Similarly, an RCU read-side critical section must not contain anything
+that waits, directly or indirectly, on completion of an invocation of
+``synchronize_rcu()``.
+
+Although RCU's grace-period guarantee is useful in and of itself, with
+`quite a few use cases <https://lwn.net/Articles/573497/>`__, 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 ``add_gp_buggy()`` below. We will look at the
+reader's code later, but in the meantime, just think of the reader as
+locklessly picking up the ``gp`` pointer, and, if the value loaded is
+non-\ ``NULL``, locklessly accessing the ``->a`` and ``->b`` fields.
+
+ ::
+
+ 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(&gp_lock);
+ 7 if (rcu_access_pointer(gp)) {
+ 8 spin_unlock(&gp_lock);
+ 9 return false;
+ 10 }
+ 11 p->a = a;
+ 12 p->b = a;
+ 13 gp = p; /* ORDERING BUG */
+ 14 spin_unlock(&gp_lock);
+ 15 return true;
+ 16 }
+
+The problem is that both the compiler and weakly ordered CPUs are within
+their rights to reorder this code as follows:
+
+ ::
+
+ 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(&gp_lock);
+ 7 if (rcu_access_pointer(gp)) {
+ 8 spin_unlock(&gp_lock);
+ 9 return false;
+ 10 }
+ 11 gp = p; /* ORDERING BUG */
+ 12 p->a = a;
+ 13 p->b = a;
+ 14 spin_unlock(&gp_lock);
+ 15 return true;
+ 16 }
+
+If an RCU reader fetches ``gp`` just after ``add_gp_buggy_optimized``
+executes line 11, it will see garbage in the ``->a`` and ``->b`` 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.
+
+Publish/Subscribe Guarantee
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+RCU's publish-subscribe guarantee allows data to be inserted into a
+linked data structure without disrupting RCU readers. The updater uses
+``rcu_assign_pointer()`` to insert the new data, and readers use
+``rcu_dereference()`` to access data, whether new or old. The following
+shows an example of insertion:
+
+ ::
+
+ 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(&gp_lock);
+ 7 if (rcu_access_pointer(gp)) {
+ 8 spin_unlock(&gp_lock);
+ 9 return false;
+ 10 }
+ 11 p->a = a;
+ 12 p->b = a;
+ 13 rcu_assign_pointer(gp, p);
+ 14 spin_unlock(&gp_lock);
+ 15 return true;
+ 16 }
+
+The ``rcu_assign_pointer()`` on line 13 is conceptually equivalent to a
+simple assignment statement, but also guarantees that its assignment
+will happen after the two assignments in lines 11 and 12, similar to the
+C11 ``memory_order_release`` store operation. It also prevents any
+number of “interesting” compiler optimizations, for example, the use of
+``gp`` as a scratch location immediately preceding the assignment.
+
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| **Quick Quiz**: |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| But ``rcu_assign_pointer()`` does nothing to prevent the two |
+| assignments to ``p->a`` and ``p->b`` from being reordered. Can't that |
+| also cause problems? |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| **Answer**: |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| No, it cannot. The readers cannot see either of these two fields |
+| until the assignment to ``gp``, by which time both fields are fully |
+| initialized. So reordering the assignments to ``p->a`` and ``p->b`` |
+| cannot possibly cause any problems. |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+
+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
+``do_something_gp_buggy()`` below:
+
+ ::
+
+ 1 bool do_something_gp_buggy(void)
+ 2 {
+ 3 rcu_read_lock();
+ 4 p = gp; /* OPTIMIZATIONS GALORE!!! */
+ 5 if (p) {
+ 6 do_something(p->a, p->b);
+ 7 rcu_read_unlock();
+ 8 return true;
+ 9 }
+ 10 rcu_read_unlock();
+ 11 return false;
+ 12 }
+
+However, this temptation must be resisted because there are a
+surprisingly large number of ways that the compiler (to say nothing of
+`DEC Alpha CPUs <https://h71000.www7.hp.com/wizard/wiz_2637.html>`__)
+can trip this code up. For but one example, if the compiler were short
+of registers, it might choose to refetch from ``gp`` rather than keeping
+a separate copy in ``p`` as follows:
+
+ ::
+
+ 1 bool do_something_gp_buggy_optimized(void)
+ 2 {
+ 3 rcu_read_lock();
+ 4 if (gp) { /* OPTIMIZATIONS GALORE!!! */
+ 5 do_something(gp->a, gp->b);
+ 6 rcu_read_unlock();
+ 7 return true;
+ 8 }
+ 9 rcu_read_unlock();
+ 10 return false;
+ 11 }
+
+If this function ran concurrently with a series of updates that replaced
+the current structure with a new one, the fetches of ``gp->a`` and
+``gp->b`` might well come from two different structures, which could
+cause serious confusion. To prevent this (and much else besides),
+``do_something_gp()`` uses ``rcu_dereference()`` to fetch from ``gp``:
+
+ ::
+
+ 1 bool do_something_gp(void)
+ 2 {
+ 3 rcu_read_lock();
+ 4 p = rcu_dereference(gp);
+ 5 if (p) {
+ 6 do_something(p->a, p->b);
+ 7 rcu_read_unlock();
+ 8 return true;
+ 9 }
+ 10 rcu_read_unlock();
+ 11 return false;
+ 12 }
+
+The ``rcu_dereference()`` uses volatile casts and (for DEC Alpha) memory
+barriers in the Linux kernel. Should a `high-quality implementation of
+C11 ``memory_order_consume``
+[PDF] <http://www.rdrop.com/users/paulmck/RCU/consume.2015.07.13a.pdf>`__
+ever appear, then ``rcu_dereference()`` could be implemented as a
+``memory_order_consume`` load. Regardless of the exact implementation, a
+pointer fetched by ``rcu_dereference()`` may not be used outside of the
+outermost RCU read-side critical section containing that
+``rcu_dereference()``, unless protection of the corresponding data
+element has been passed from RCU to some other synchronization
+mechanism, most commonly locking or `reference
+counting <https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/RCU/rcuref.txt>`__.
+
+In short, updaters use ``rcu_assign_pointer()`` and readers use
+``rcu_dereference()``, and these two RCU API elements work together to
+ensure that readers have a consistent view of newly added data elements.
+
+Of course, it is also necessary to remove elements from RCU-protected
+data structures, for example, using the following process:
+
+#. Remove the data element from the enclosing structure.
+#. 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).
+#. 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 ``kfree()``.
+
+This process is implemented by ``remove_gp_synchronous()``:
+
+ ::
+
+ 1 bool remove_gp_synchronous(void)
+ 2 {
+ 3 struct foo *p;
+ 4
+ 5 spin_lock(&gp_lock);
+ 6 p = rcu_access_pointer(gp);
+ 7 if (!p) {
+ 8 spin_unlock(&gp_lock);
+ 9 return false;
+ 10 }
+ 11 rcu_assign_pointer(gp, NULL);
+ 12 spin_unlock(&gp_lock);
+ 13 synchronize_rcu();
+ 14 kfree(p);
+ 15 return true;
+ 16 }
+
+This function is straightforward, with line 13 waiting for a grace
+period before line 14 frees the old data element. This waiting ensures
+that readers will reach line 7 of ``do_something_gp()`` before the data
+element referenced by ``p`` is freed. The ``rcu_access_pointer()`` on
+line 6 is similar to ``rcu_dereference()``, except that:
+
+#. The value returned by ``rcu_access_pointer()`` cannot be
+ dereferenced. If you want to access the value pointed to as well as
+ the pointer itself, use ``rcu_dereference()`` instead of
+ ``rcu_access_pointer()``.
+#. The call to ``rcu_access_pointer()`` need not be protected. In
+ contrast, ``rcu_dereference()`` 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.
+
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| **Quick Quiz**: |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| Without the ``rcu_dereference()`` or the ``rcu_access_pointer()``, |
+| what destructive optimizations might the compiler make use of? |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| **Answer**: |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| Let's start with what happens to ``do_something_gp()`` if it fails to |
+| use ``rcu_dereference()``. It could reuse a value formerly fetched |
+| from this same pointer. It could also fetch the pointer from ``gp`` |
+| in a byte-at-a-time manner, resulting in *load tearing*, in turn |
+| resulting a bytewise mash-up of two distinct pointer values. It might |
+| even use value-speculation optimizations, where it makes a wrong |
+| guess, but by the time it gets around to checking the value, an |
+| update has changed the pointer to match the wrong guess. Too bad |
+| about any dereferences that returned pre-initialization garbage in |
+| the meantime! |
+| For ``remove_gp_synchronous()``, as long as all modifications to |
+| ``gp`` are carried out while holding ``gp_lock``, the above |
+| optimizations are harmless. However, ``sparse`` will complain if you |
+| define ``gp`` with ``__rcu`` and then access it without using either |
+| ``rcu_access_pointer()`` or ``rcu_dereference()``. |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+
+In short, RCU's publish-subscribe guarantee is provided by the
+combination of ``rcu_assign_pointer()`` and ``rcu_dereference()``. 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.
+
+This guarantee was only partially premeditated. DYNIX/ptx used an
+explicit memory barrier for publication, but had nothing resembling
+``rcu_dereference()`` for subscription, nor did it have anything
+resembling the dependency-ordering barrier that was later subsumed
+into ``rcu_dereference()`` and later still into ``READ_ONCE()``. 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 *two* 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
+``rcu_dereference()``!
+
+Memory-Barrier Guarantees
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+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:
+
+#. Each CPU that has an RCU read-side critical section that begins
+ before ``synchronize_rcu()`` starts is guaranteed to execute a full
+ memory barrier between the time that the RCU read-side critical
+ section ends and the time that ``synchronize_rcu()`` returns. Without
+ this guarantee, a pre-existing RCU read-side critical section might
+ hold a reference to the newly removed ``struct foo`` after the
+ ``kfree()`` on line 14 of ``remove_gp_synchronous()``.
+#. Each CPU that has an RCU read-side critical section that ends after
+ ``synchronize_rcu()`` returns is guaranteed to execute a full memory
+ barrier between the time that ``synchronize_rcu()`` 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
+ ``kfree()`` on line 14 of ``remove_gp_synchronous()`` might later run
+ ``do_something_gp()`` and find the newly deleted ``struct foo``.
+#. If the task invoking ``synchronize_rcu()`` remains on a given CPU,
+ then that CPU is guaranteed to execute a full memory barrier sometime
+ during the execution of ``synchronize_rcu()``. This guarantee ensures
+ that the ``kfree()`` on line 14 of ``remove_gp_synchronous()`` really
+ does execute after the removal on line 11.
+#. If the task invoking ``synchronize_rcu()`` 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 ``synchronize_rcu()``. This guarantee also ensures that
+ the ``kfree()`` on line 14 of ``remove_gp_synchronous()`` really does
+ execute after the removal on line 11, but also in the case where the
+ thread executing the ``synchronize_rcu()`` migrates in the meantime.
+
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| **Quick Quiz**: |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| Given that multiple CPUs can start RCU read-side critical sections at |
+| any time without any ordering whatsoever, how can RCU possibly tell |
+| whether or not a given RCU read-side critical section starts before a |
+| given instance of ``synchronize_rcu()``? |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| **Answer**: |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| If RCU cannot tell whether or not a given RCU read-side critical |
+| section starts before a given instance of ``synchronize_rcu()``, then |
+| it must assume that the RCU read-side critical section started first. |
+| In other words, a given instance of ``synchronize_rcu()`` can avoid |
+| waiting on a given RCU read-side critical section only if it can |
+| prove that ``synchronize_rcu()`` started first. |
+| A related question is “When ``rcu_read_lock()`` doesn't generate any |
+| code, why does it matter how it relates to a grace period?” The |
+| answer is that it is not the relationship of ``rcu_read_lock()`` |
+| 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 within the critical section may observe the effects |
+| of any access following the grace period. |
+| |
+| As of late 2016, mathematical models of RCU take this viewpoint, for |
+| example, see slides 62 and 63 of the `2016 LinuxCon |
+| EU <http://www2.rdrop.com/users/paulmck/scalability/paper/LinuxMM.201 |
+| 6.10.04c.LCE.pdf>`__ |
+| presentation. |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| **Quick Quiz**: |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| The first and second guarantees require unbelievably strict ordering! |
+| Are all these memory barriers *really* required? |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| **Answer**: |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| Yes, they really are required. To see why the first guarantee is |
+| required, consider the following sequence of events: |
+| |
+| #. CPU 1: ``rcu_read_lock()`` |
+| #. CPU 1: ``q = rcu_dereference(gp); /* Very likely to return p. */`` |
+| #. CPU 0: ``list_del_rcu(p);`` |
+| #. CPU 0: ``synchronize_rcu()`` starts. |
+| #. CPU 1: ``do_something_with(q->a);`` |
+| ``/* No smp_mb(), so might happen after kfree(). */`` |
+| #. CPU 1: ``rcu_read_unlock()`` |
+| #. CPU 0: ``synchronize_rcu()`` returns. |
+| #. CPU 0: ``kfree(p);`` |
+| |
+| Therefore, there absolutely must be a full memory barrier between the |
+| end of the RCU read-side critical section and the end of the grace |
+| period. |
+| |
+| The sequence of events demonstrating the necessity of the second rule |
+| is roughly similar: |
+| |
+| #. CPU 0: ``list_del_rcu(p);`` |
+| #. CPU 0: ``synchronize_rcu()`` starts. |
+| #. CPU 1: ``rcu_read_lock()`` |
+| #. CPU 1: ``q = rcu_dereference(gp);`` |
+| ``/* Might return p if no memory barrier. */`` |
+| #. CPU 0: ``synchronize_rcu()`` returns. |
+| #. CPU 0: ``kfree(p);`` |
+| #. CPU 1: ``do_something_with(q->a); /* Boom!!! */`` |
+| #. CPU 1: ``rcu_read_unlock()`` |
+| |
+| And similarly, without a memory barrier between the beginning of the |
+| grace period and the beginning of the RCU read-side critical section, |
+| CPU 1 might end up accessing the freelist. |
+| |
+| The “as if” rule of course applies, so that any implementation that |
+| acts as if the appropriate memory barriers were in place is a correct |
+| implementation. That said, it is much easier to fool yourself into |
+| believing that you have adhered to the as-if rule than it is to |
+| actually adhere to it! |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| **Quick Quiz**: |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| You claim that ``rcu_read_lock()`` and ``rcu_read_unlock()`` generate |
+| absolutely no code in some kernel builds. This means that the |
+| compiler might arbitrarily rearrange consecutive RCU read-side |
+| critical sections. Given such rearrangement, if a given RCU read-side |
+| critical section is done, how can you be sure that all prior RCU |
+| read-side critical sections are done? Won't the compiler |
+| rearrangements make that impossible to determine? |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| **Answer**: |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| In cases where ``rcu_read_lock()`` and ``rcu_read_unlock()`` generate |
+| absolutely no code, RCU infers quiescent states only at special |
+| locations, for example, within the scheduler. Because calls to |
+| ``schedule()`` had better prevent calling-code accesses to shared |
+| variables from being rearranged across the call to ``schedule()``, if |
+| RCU detects the end of a given RCU read-side critical section, it |
+| will necessarily detect the end of all prior RCU read-side critical |
+| sections, no matter how aggressively the compiler scrambles the code. |
+| Again, this all assumes that the compiler cannot scramble code across |
+| calls to the scheduler, out of interrupt handlers, into the idle |
+| loop, into user-mode code, and so on. But if your kernel build allows |
+| that sort of scrambling, you have broken far more than just RCU! |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+
+Note that these memory-barrier requirements do not replace the
+fundamental RCU requirement that a grace period wait for all
+pre-existing readers. On the contrary, the memory barriers called out in
+this section must operate in such a way as to *enforce* this fundamental
+requirement. Of course, different implementations enforce this
+requirement in different ways, but enforce it they must.
+
+RCU Primitives Guaranteed to Execute Unconditionally
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+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.
+
+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.
+
+Guaranteed Read-to-Write Upgrade
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+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 ``synchronize_rcu()``, however, this inconvenience can
+be avoided through use of the ``call_rcu()`` and ``kfree_rcu()`` API
+members described later in this document.

+| **Quick Quiz**: |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| But how does the upgrade-to-write operation exclude other readers? |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| **Answer**: |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| It doesn't, just like normal RCU updates, which also do not exclude |
+| RCU readers. |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+
+This guarantee allows lookup code to be shared between read-side and
+update-side code, and was premeditated, appearing in the earliest
+DYNIX/ptx RCU documentation.
+
+Fundamental Non-Requirements
+----------------------------
+
+RCU provides extremely lightweight readers, and its read-side
+guarantees, though quite useful, are correspondingly lightweight. It is
+therefore all too easy to assume that RCU is guaranteeing more than it
+really is. Of course, the list of things that RCU does not guarantee is
+infinitely long, however, the following sections list a few
+non-guarantees that have caused confusion. Except where otherwise noted,
+these non-guarantees were premeditated.
+
+#. `Readers Impose Minimal Ordering`_
+#. `Readers Do Not Exclude Updaters`_
+#. `Updaters Only Wait For Old Readers`_
+#. `Grace Periods Don't Partition Read-Side Critical Sections`_
+#. `Read-Side Critical Sections Don't Partition Grace Periods`_
+
+Readers Impose Minimal Ordering
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Reader-side markers such as ``rcu_read_lock()`` and
+``rcu_read_unlock()`` provide absolutely no ordering guarantees except
+through their interaction with the grace-period APIs such as
+``synchronize_rcu()``. To see this, consider the following pair of
+threads:
+
+ ::
+
+ 1 void thread0(void)
+ 2 {
+ 3 rcu_read_lock();
+ 4 WRITE_ONCE(x, 1);
+ 5 rcu_read_unlock();
+ 6 rcu_read_lock();
+ 7 WRITE_ONCE(y, 1);
+ 8 rcu_read_unlock();
+ 9 }
+ 10
+ 11 void thread1(void)
+ 12 {
+ 13 rcu_read_lock();
+ 14 r1 = READ_ONCE(y);
+ 15 rcu_read_unlock();
+ 16 rcu_read_lock();
+ 17 r2 = READ_ONCE(x);
+ 18 rcu_read_unlock();
+ 19 }
+
+After ``thread0()`` and ``thread1()`` execute concurrently, it is quite
+possible to have
+
+ ::
+
+ (r1 == 1 && r2 == 0)
+
+(that is, ``y`` appears to have been assigned before ``x``), which would
+not be possible if ``rcu_read_lock()`` and ``rcu_read_unlock()`` had
+much in the way of ordering properties. But they do not, so the CPU is
+within its rights to do significant reordering. This is by design: Any
+significant ordering constraints would slow down these fast-path APIs.
+
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| **Quick Quiz**: |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| Can't the compiler also reorder this code? |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| **Answer**: |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| No, the volatile casts in ``READ_ONCE()`` and ``WRITE_ONCE()`` |
+| prevent the compiler from reordering in this particular case. |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+
+Readers Do Not Exclude Updaters
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Neither ``rcu_read_lock()`` nor ``rcu_read_unlock()`` exclude updates.
+All they do is to prevent grace periods from ending. The following
+example illustrates this:
+
+ ::
+
+ 1 void thread0(void)
+ 2 {
+ 3 rcu_read_lock();
+ 4 r1 = READ_ONCE(y);
+ 5 if (r1) {
+ 6 do_something_with_nonzero_x();
+ 7 r2 = READ_ONCE(x);
+ 8 WARN_ON(!r2); /* BUG!!! */
+ 9 }
+ 10 rcu_read_unlock();
+ 11 }
+ 12
+ 13 void thread1(void)
+ 14 {
+ 15 spin_lock(&my_lock);
+ 16 WRITE_ONCE(x, 1);
+ 17 WRITE_ONCE(y, 1);
+ 18 spin_unlock(&my_lock);
+ 19 }
+
+If the ``thread0()`` function's ``rcu_read_lock()`` excluded the
+``thread1()`` function's update, the ``WARN_ON()`` could never fire. But
+the fact is that ``rcu_read_lock()`` does not exclude much of anything
+aside from subsequent grace periods, of which ``thread1()`` has none, so
+the ``WARN_ON()`` can and does fire.
+
+Updaters Only Wait For Old Readers
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+It might be tempting to assume that after ``synchronize_rcu()``
+completes, there are no readers executing. This temptation must be
+avoided because new readers can start immediately after
+``synchronize_rcu()`` starts, and ``synchronize_rcu()`` is under no
+obligation to wait for these new readers.
+
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| **Quick Quiz**: |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| Suppose that synchronize_rcu() did wait until *all* readers had |
+| completed instead of waiting only on pre-existing readers. For how |
+| long would the updater be able to rely on there being no readers? |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| **Answer**: |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| For no time at all. Even if ``synchronize_rcu()`` were to wait until |
+| all readers had completed, a new reader might start immediately after |
+| ``synchronize_rcu()`` completed. Therefore, the code following |
+| ``synchronize_rcu()`` can *never* rely on there being no readers. |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+
+Grace Periods Don't Partition Read-Side Critical Sections
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+It is tempting to assume that if any part of one RCU read-side critical
+section precedes a given grace period, and if any part of another RCU
+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 ``x``, ``y``, and ``z``
+are initially all zero:
+
+ ::
+
+ 1 void thread0(void)
+ 2 {
+ 3 rcu_read_lock();
+ 4 WRITE_ONCE(a, 1);
+ 5 WRITE_ONCE(b, 1);
+ 6 rcu_read_unlock();
+ 7 }
+ 8
+ 9 void thread1(void)
+ 10 {
+ 11 r1 = READ_ONCE(a);
+ 12 synchronize_rcu();
+ 13 WRITE_ONCE(c, 1);
+ 14 }
+ 15
+ 16 void thread2(void)
+ 17 {
+ 18 rcu_read_lock();
+ 19 r2 = READ_ONCE(b);
+ 20 r3 = READ_ONCE(c);
+ 21 rcu_read_unlock();
+ 22 }
+
+It turns out that the outcome:
+
+ ::
+
+ (r1 == 1 && r2 == 0 && r3 == 1)
+
+is entirely possible. The following figure show how this can happen,
+with each circled ``QS`` indicating the point at which RCU recorded a
+*quiescent state* 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:
+
+.. kernel-figure:: GPpartitionReaders1.svg
+
+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:
+
+ ::
+
+ 1 void thread0(void)
+ 2 {
+ 3 rcu_read_lock();
+ 4 WRITE_ONCE(a, 1);
+ 5 WRITE_ONCE(b, 1);
+ 6 rcu_read_unlock();
+ 7 }
+ 8
+ 9 void thread1(void)
+ 10 {
+ 11 r1 = READ_ONCE(a);
+ 12 synchronize_rcu();
+ 13 WRITE_ONCE(c, 1);
+ 14 }
+ 15
+ 16 void thread2(void)
+ 17 {
+ 18 r2 = READ_ONCE(c);
+ 19 synchronize_rcu();
+ 20 WRITE_ONCE(d, 1);
+ 21 }
+ 22
+ 23 void thread3(void)
+ 24 {
+ 25 rcu_read_lock();
+ 26 r3 = READ_ONCE(b);
+ 27 r4 = READ_ONCE(d);
+ 28 rcu_read_unlock();
+ 29 }
+
+Here, if ``(r1 == 1)``, then ``thread0()``'s write to ``b`` must happen
+before the end of ``thread1()``'s grace period. If in addition
+``(r4 == 1)``, then ``thread3()``'s read from ``b`` must happen after
+the beginning of ``thread2()``'s grace period. If it is also the case
+that ``(r2 == 1)``, then the end of ``thread1()``'s grace period must
+precede the beginning of ``thread2()``'s grace period. This mean that
+the two RCU read-side critical sections cannot overlap, guaranteeing
+that ``(r3 == 1)``. As a result, the outcome:
+
+ ::
+
+ (r1 == 1 && r2 == 1 && r3 == 0 && r4 == 1)
+
+cannot happen.
+
+This non-requirement was also non-premeditated, but became apparent when
+studying RCU's interaction with memory ordering.
+
+Read-Side Critical Sections Don't Partition Grace Periods
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+It is also tempting to assume that if an RCU read-side critical section
+happens between a pair of grace periods, then those grace periods cannot
+overlap. However, this temptation leads nowhere good, as can be
+illustrated by the following, with all variables initially zero:
+
+ ::
+
+ 1 void thread0(void)
+ 2 {
+ 3 rcu_read_lock();
+ 4 WRITE_ONCE(a, 1);
+ 5 WRITE_ONCE(b, 1);
+ 6 rcu_read_unlock();
+ 7 }
+ 8
+ 9 void thread1(void)
+ 10 {
+ 11 r1 = READ_ONCE(a);
+ 12 synchronize_rcu();
+ 13 WRITE_ONCE(c, 1);
+ 14 }
+ 15
+ 16 void thread2(void)
+ 17 {
+ 18 rcu_read_lock();
+ 19 WRITE_ONCE(d, 1);
+ 20 r2 = READ_ONCE(c);
+ 21 rcu_read_unlock();
+ 22 }
+ 23
+ 24 void thread3(void)
+ 25 {
+ 26 r3 = READ_ONCE(d);
+ 27 synchronize_rcu();
+ 28 WRITE_ONCE(e, 1);
+ 29 }
+ 30
+ 31 void thread4(void)
+ 32 {
+ 33 rcu_read_lock();
+ 34 r4 = READ_ONCE(b);
+ 35 r5 = READ_ONCE(e);
+ 36 rcu_read_unlock();
+ 37 }
+
+In this case, the outcome:
+
+ ::
+
+ (r1 == 1 && r2 == 1 && r3 == 1 && r4 == 0 && r5 == 1)
+
+is entirely possible, as illustrated below:
+
+.. kernel-figure:: ReadersPartitionGP1.svg
+
+Again, an RCU read-side critical section can overlap almost all of a
+given grace period, just so long as it does not overlap the entire grace
+period. As a result, an RCU read-side critical section cannot partition
+a pair of RCU grace periods.
+
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| **Quick Quiz**: |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| How long a sequence of grace periods, each separated by an RCU |
+| read-side critical section, would be required to partition the RCU |
+| read-side critical sections at the beginning and end of the chain? |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| **Answer**: |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| In theory, an infinite number. In practice, an unknown number that is |
+| sensitive to both implementation details and timing considerations. |
+| Therefore, even in practice, RCU users must abide by the theoretical |
+| rather than the practical answer. |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+
+Parallelism Facts of Life
+-------------------------
+
+These parallelism facts of life are by no means specific to RCU, but the
+RCU implementation must abide by them. They therefore bear repeating:
+
+#. 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 “extremely long” is not long enough to allow wrap-around
+ when incrementing a 64-bit counter.
+#. 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.
+#. 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.
+#. 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.
+#. 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` 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.
+#. 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.
+
+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.
+
+Quality-of-Implementation Requirements
+--------------------------------------
+
+These sections list quality-of-implementation requirements. Although an
+RCU implementation that ignores these requirements could still be used,
+it would likely be subject to limitations that would make it
+inappropriate for industrial-strength production use. Classes of
+quality-of-implementation requirements are as follows:
+
+#. `Specialization`_
+#. `Performance and Scalability`_
+#. `Forward Progress`_
+#. `Composability`_
+#. `Corner Cases`_
+
+These classes is covered in the following sections.
+
+Specialization
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+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:
+
+#. Read-mostly data, where stale and inconsistent data is not a problem:
+ RCU works great!
+#. Read-mostly data, where data must be consistent: RCU works well.
+#. Read-write data, where data must be consistent: RCU *might* work OK.
+ Or not.
+#. 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:
+
+ a. Existence guarantees for update-friendly mechanisms.
+ b. Wait-free read-side primitives for real-time use.
+
+This focus on read-mostly situations means that RCU must interoperate
+with other synchronization primitives. For example, the ``add_gp()`` and
+``remove_gp_synchronous()`` 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.
+
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| **Quick Quiz**: |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| What about sleeping locks? |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| **Answer**: |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| These are forbidden within Linux-kernel RCU read-side critical |
+| sections because it is not legal to place a quiescent state (in this |
+| case, voluntary context switch) within an RCU read-side critical |
+| section. However, sleeping locks may be used within userspace RCU |
+| read-side critical sections, and also within Linux-kernel sleepable |
+| RCU `(SRCU) <#Sleepable%20RCU>`__ read-side critical sections. In |
+| addition, the -rt patchset turns spinlocks into a sleeping locks so |
+| that the corresponding critical sections can be preempted, which also |
+| means that these sleeplockified spinlocks (but not other sleeping |
+| locks!) may be acquire within -rt-Linux-kernel RCU read-side critical |
+| sections. |
+| Note that it *is* legal for a normal RCU read-side critical section |
+| to conditionally acquire a sleeping locks (as in |
+| ``mutex_trylock()``), but only as long as it does not loop |
+| indefinitely attempting to conditionally acquire that sleeping locks. |
+| The key point is that things like ``mutex_trylock()`` either return |
+| with the mutex held, or return an error indication if the mutex was |
+| not immediately available. Either way, ``mutex_trylock()`` returns |
+| immediately without sleeping. |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+
+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.
+
+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.
+
+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.
+
+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.
+
+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.
+
+Performance and Scalability
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+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 “frank and open” 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.
+
+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
+`bloatwatch <http://elinux.org/Linux_Tiny-FAQ>`__ efforts, memory
+footprint is critically important on single-CPU systems with
+non-preemptible (``CONFIG_PREEMPT=n``) kernels, and thus `tiny
+RCU <https://lkml.kernel.org/g/20090113221724.GA15307@linux.vnet.ibm.com>`__
+was born. Josh Triplett has since taken over the small-memory banner
+with his `Linux kernel tinification <https://tiny.wiki.kernel.org/>`__
+project, which resulted in `SRCU <#Sleepable%20RCU>`__ becoming optional
+for those kernels not needing it.
+
+The remaining performance requirements are, for the most part,
+unsurprising. For example, in keeping with RCU's read-side
+specialization, ``rcu_dereference()`` should have negligible overhead
+(for example, suppression of a few minor compiler optimizations).
+Similarly, in non-preemptible environments, ``rcu_read_lock()`` and
+``rcu_read_unlock()`` should have exactly zero overhead.
+
+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), ``rcu_read_lock()`` and
+``rcu_read_unlock()`` 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, ``rcu_read_unlock()`` 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.
+
+The ``synchronize_rcu()`` 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
+``synchronize_rcu()`` 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 `1,000 separate
+invocations <https://www.usenix.org/conference/2004-usenix-annual-technical-conference/making-rcu-safe-deep-sub-millisecond-response>`__
+of ``synchronize_rcu()``, 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.
+
+In some cases, the multi-millisecond ``synchronize_rcu()`` latencies are
+unacceptable. In these cases, ``synchronize_rcu_expedited()`` 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 ``synchronize_rcu_expedited()`` 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 ``synchronize_rcu_expedited()`` invocations on
+4096 CPUs should at least make reasonable forward progress. In return
+for its shorter latencies, ``synchronize_rcu_expedited()`` is permitted
+to impose modest degradation of real-time latency on non-idle online
+CPUs. Here, “modest” means roughly the same latency degradation as a
+scheduling-clock interrupt.
+
+There are a number of situations where even
+``synchronize_rcu_expedited()``'s reduced grace-period latency is
+unacceptable. In these situations, the asynchronous ``call_rcu()`` can
+be used in place of ``synchronize_rcu()`` as follows:
+
+ ::
+
+ 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(&gp_lock);
+ 19 p = rcu_access_pointer(gp);
+ 20 if (!p) {
+ 21 spin_unlock(&gp_lock);
+ 22 return false;
+ 23 }
+ 24 rcu_assign_pointer(gp, NULL);
+ 25 call_rcu(&p->rh, remove_gp_cb);
+ 26 spin_unlock(&gp_lock);
+ 27 return true;
+ 28 }
+
+A definition of ``struct foo`` is finally needed, and appears on
+lines 1-5. The function ``remove_gp_cb()`` is passed to ``call_rcu()``
+on line 25, and will be invoked after the end of a subsequent grace
+period. This gets the same effect as ``remove_gp_synchronous()``, but
+without forcing the updater to wait for a grace period to elapse. The
+``call_rcu()`` function may be used in a number of situations where
+neither ``synchronize_rcu()`` nor ``synchronize_rcu_expedited()`` would
+be legal, including within preempt-disable code, ``local_bh_disable()``
+code, interrupt-disable code, and interrupt handlers. However, even
+``call_rcu()`` is illegal within NMI handlers and from idle and offline
+CPUs. The callback function (``remove_gp_cb()`` 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 ``local_bh_disable()``. 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.

+| **Quick Quiz**: |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| Why does line 19 use ``rcu_access_pointer()``? After all, |
+| ``call_rcu()`` on line 25 stores into the structure, which would |
+| interact badly with concurrent insertions. Doesn't this mean that |
+| ``rcu_dereference()`` is required? |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| **Answer**: |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| Presumably the ``->gp_lock`` acquired on line 18 excludes any |
+| changes, including any insertions that ``rcu_dereference()`` would |
+| protect against. Therefore, any insertions will be delayed until |
+| after ``->gp_lock`` is released on line 25, which in turn means that |
+| ``rcu_access_pointer()`` suffices. |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+
+However, all that ``remove_gp_cb()`` is doing is invoking ``kfree()`` on
+the data element. This is a common idiom, and is supported by
+``kfree_rcu()``, which allows “fire and forget” operation as shown
+below:
+
+ ::
+
+ 1 struct foo {
+ 2 int a;
+ 3 int b;
+ 4 struct rcu_head rh;
+ 5 };
+ 6
+ 7 bool remove_gp_faf(void)
+ 8 {
+ 9 struct foo *p;
+ 10
+ 11 spin_lock(&gp_lock);
+ 12 p = rcu_dereference(gp);
+ 13 if (!p) {
+ 14 spin_unlock(&gp_lock);
+ 15 return false;
+ 16 }
+ 17 rcu_assign_pointer(gp, NULL);
+ 18 kfree_rcu(p, rh);
+ 19 spin_unlock(&gp_lock);
+ 20 return true;
+ 21 }
+
+Note that ``remove_gp_faf()`` simply invokes ``kfree_rcu()`` and
+proceeds, without any need to pay any further attention to the
+subsequent grace period and ``kfree()``. It is permissible to invoke
+``kfree_rcu()`` from the same environments as for ``call_rcu()``.
+Interestingly enough, DYNIX/ptx had the equivalents of ``call_rcu()``
+and ``kfree_rcu()``, but not ``synchronize_rcu()``. This was due to the
+fact that RCU was not heavily used within DYNIX/ptx, so the very few
+places that needed something like ``synchronize_rcu()`` simply
+open-coded it.
+
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| **Quick Quiz**: |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| Earlier it was claimed that ``call_rcu()`` and ``kfree_rcu()`` |
+| allowed updaters to avoid being blocked by readers. But how can that |
+| be correct, given that the invocation of the callback and the freeing |
+| of the memory (respectively) must still wait for a grace period to |
+| elapse? |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| **Answer**: |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| We could define things this way, but keep in mind that this sort of |
+| definition would say that updates in garbage-collected languages |
+| cannot complete until the next time the garbage collector runs, which |
+| does not seem at all reasonable. The key point is that in most cases, |
+| an updater using either ``call_rcu()`` or ``kfree_rcu()`` can proceed |
+| to the next update as soon as it has invoked ``call_rcu()`` or |
+| ``kfree_rcu()``, without having to wait for a subsequent grace |
+| period. |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+
+But what if the updater must wait for the completion of code to be
+executed after the end of the grace period, but has other tasks that can
+be carried out in the meantime? The polling-style
+``get_state_synchronize_rcu()`` and ``cond_synchronize_rcu()`` functions
+may be used for this purpose, as shown below:
+
+ ::
+
+ 1 bool remove_gp_poll(void)
+ 2 {
+ 3 struct foo *p;
+ 4 unsigned long s;
+ 5
+ 6 spin_lock(&gp_lock);
+ 7 p = rcu_access_pointer(gp);
+ 8 if (!p) {
+ 9 spin_unlock(&gp_lock);
+ 10 return false;
+ 11 }
+ 12 rcu_assign_pointer(gp, NULL);
+ 13 spin_unlock(&gp_lock);
+ 14 s = get_state_synchronize_rcu();
+ 15 do_something_while_waiting();
+ 16 cond_synchronize_rcu(s);
+ 17 kfree(p);
+ 18 return true;
+ 19 }
+
+On line 14, ``get_state_synchronize_rcu()`` obtains a “cookie” from RCU,
+then line 15 carries out other tasks, and finally, line 16 returns
+immediately if a grace period has elapsed in the meantime, but otherwise
+waits as required. The need for ``get_state_synchronize_rcu`` and
+``cond_synchronize_rcu()`` has appeared quite recently, so it is too
+early to tell whether they will stand the test of time.
+
+RCU thus provides a range of tools to allow updaters to strike the
+required tradeoff between latency, flexibility and CPU overhead.
+
+Forward Progress
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+In theory, delaying grace-period completion and callback invocation is
+harmless. In practice, not only are memory sizes finite but also
+callbacks sometimes do wakeups, and sufficiently deferred wakeups can be
+difficult to distinguish from system hangs. Therefore, RCU must provide
+a number of mechanisms to promote forward progress.
+
+These mechanisms are not foolproof, nor can they be. For one simple
+example, an infinite loop in an RCU read-side critical section must by
+definition prevent later grace periods from ever completing. For a more
+involved example, consider a 64-CPU system built with
+``CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU=y`` and booted with ``rcu_nocbs=1-63``, where
+CPUs 1 through 63 spin in tight loops that invoke ``call_rcu()``. Even
+if these tight loops also contain calls to ``cond_resched()`` (thus
+allowing grace periods to complete), CPU 0 simply will not be able to
+invoke callbacks as fast as the other 63 CPUs can register them, at
+least not until the system runs out of memory. In both of these
+examples, the Spiderman principle applies: With great power comes great
+responsibility. However, short of this level of abuse, RCU is required
+to ensure timely completion of grace periods and timely invocation of
+callbacks.
+
+RCU takes the following steps to encourage timely completion of grace
+periods:
+
+#. If a grace period fails to complete within 100 milliseconds, RCU
+ causes future invocations of ``cond_resched()`` on the holdout CPUs
+ to provide an RCU quiescent state. RCU also causes those CPUs'
+ ``need_resched()`` invocations to return ``true``, but only after the
+ corresponding CPU's next scheduling-clock.
+#. CPUs mentioned in the ``nohz_full`` kernel boot parameter can run
+ indefinitely in the kernel without scheduling-clock interrupts, which
+ defeats the above ``need_resched()`` strategem. RCU will therefore
+ invoke ``resched_cpu()`` on any ``nohz_full`` CPUs still holding out
+ after 109 milliseconds.
+#. In kernels built with ``CONFIG_RCU_BOOST=y``, if a given task that
+ has been preempted within an RCU read-side critical section is
+ holding out for more than 500 milliseconds, RCU will resort to
+ priority boosting.
+#. If a CPU is still holding out 10 seconds into the grace period, RCU
+ will invoke ``resched_cpu()`` on it regardless of its ``nohz_full``
+ state.
+
+The above values are defaults for systems running with ``HZ=1000``. They
+will vary as the value of ``HZ`` varies, and can also be changed using
+the relevant Kconfig options and kernel boot parameters. RCU currently
+does not do much sanity checking of these parameters, so please use
+caution when changing them. Note that these forward-progress measures
+are provided only for RCU, not for `SRCU <#Sleepable%20RCU>`__ or `Tasks
+RCU <#Tasks%20RCU>`__.
+
+RCU takes the following steps in ``call_rcu()`` to encourage timely
+invocation of callbacks when any given non-\ ``rcu_nocbs`` CPU has
+10,000 callbacks, or has 10,000 more callbacks than it had the last time
+encouragement was provided:
+
+#. Starts a grace period, if one is not already in progress.
+#. Forces immediate checking for quiescent states, rather than waiting
+ for three milliseconds to have elapsed since the beginning of the
+ grace period.
+#. Immediately tags the CPU's callbacks with their grace period
+ completion numbers, rather than waiting for the ``RCU_SOFTIRQ``
+ handler to get around to it.
+#. Lifts callback-execution batch limits, which speeds up callback
+ invocation at the expense of degrading realtime response.
+
+Again, these are default values when running at ``HZ=1000``, and can be
+overridden. Again, these forward-progress measures are provided only for
+RCU, not for `SRCU <#Sleepable%20RCU>`__ or `Tasks
+RCU <#Tasks%20RCU>`__. Even for RCU, callback-invocation forward
+progress for ``rcu_nocbs`` CPUs is much less well-developed, in part
+because workloads benefiting from ``rcu_nocbs`` CPUs tend to invoke
+``call_rcu()`` relatively infrequently. If workloads emerge that need
+both ``rcu_nocbs`` CPUs and high ``call_rcu()`` invocation rates, then
+additional forward-progress work will be required.
+
+Composability
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+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.
+
+Implementations of RCU for which ``rcu_read_lock()`` and
+``rcu_read_unlock()`` generate no code, such as Linux-kernel RCU when
+``CONFIG_PREEMPT=n``, can be nested arbitrarily deeply. After all, there
+is no overhead. Except that if all these instances of
+``rcu_read_lock()`` and ``rcu_read_unlock()`` 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.
+
+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 ``INT_MAX``. 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.
+
+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.
+
+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.
+
+Corner Cases
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+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.
+
+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.
+
+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 ``call_rcu()`` code path. Finally, high update
+rates should not delay RCU read-side critical sections, although some
+small read-side delays can occur when using
+``synchronize_rcu_expedited()``, courtesy of this function's use of
+``smp_call_function_single()``.
+
+Although all three of these corner cases were understood in the early
+1990s, a simple user-level test consisting of ``close(open(path))`` 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.
+
+Software-Engineering Requirements
+---------------------------------
+
+Between Murphy's Law and “To err is human”, it is necessary to guard
+against mishaps and misuse:
+
+#. It is all too easy to forget to use ``rcu_read_lock()`` everywhere
+ that it is needed, so kernels built with ``CONFIG_PROVE_RCU=y`` will
+ splat if ``rcu_dereference()`` is used outside of an RCU read-side
+ critical section. Update-side code can use
+ ``rcu_dereference_protected()``, which takes a `lockdep
+ expression <https://lwn.net/Articles/371986/>`__ to indicate what is
+ providing the protection. If the indicated protection is not
+ provided, a lockdep splat is emitted.
+ Code shared between readers and updaters can use
+ ``rcu_dereference_check()``, which also takes a lockdep expression,
+ and emits a lockdep splat if neither ``rcu_read_lock()`` nor the
+ indicated protection is in place. In addition,
+ ``rcu_dereference_raw()`` is used in those (hopefully rare) cases
+ where the required protection cannot be easily described. Finally,
+ ``rcu_read_lock_held()`` 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.
+#. A given function might wish to check for RCU-related preconditions
+ upon entry, before using any other RCU API. The
+ ``rcu_lockdep_assert()`` does this job, asserting the expression in
+ kernels having lockdep enabled and doing nothing otherwise.
+#. It is also easy to forget to use ``rcu_assign_pointer()`` and
+ ``rcu_dereference()``, perhaps (incorrectly) substituting a simple
+ assignment. To catch this sort of error, a given RCU-protected
+ pointer may be tagged with ``__rcu``, 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 `patch series <https://lwn.net/Articles/376011/>`__.
+#. Kernels built with ``CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS_RCU_HEAD=y`` will splat if
+ a data element is passed to ``call_rcu()`` twice in a row, without a
+ grace period in between. (This error is similar to a double free.)
+ The corresponding ``rcu_head`` structures that are dynamically
+ allocated are automatically tracked, but ``rcu_head`` structures
+ allocated on the stack must be initialized with
+ ``init_rcu_head_on_stack()`` and cleaned up with
+ ``destroy_rcu_head_on_stack()``. Similarly, statically allocated
+ non-stack ``rcu_head`` structures must be initialized with
+ ``init_rcu_head()`` and cleaned up with ``destroy_rcu_head()``.
+ Mathieu Desnoyers made me aware of this requirement, and also
+ supplied the needed
+ `patch <https://lkml.kernel.org/g/20100319013024.GA28456@Krystal>`__.
+#. An infinite loop in an RCU read-side critical section will eventually
+ trigger an RCU CPU stall warning splat, with the duration of
+ “eventually” being controlled by the ``RCU_CPU_STALL_TIMEOUT``
+ ``Kconfig`` option, or, alternatively, by the
+ ``rcupdate.rcu_cpu_stall_timeout`` 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.
+
+ Some extreme workloads might intentionally delay RCU grace periods,
+ and systems running those workloads can be booted with
+ ``rcupdate.rcu_cpu_stall_suppress`` to suppress the splats. This
+ kernel parameter may also be set via ``sysfs``. Furthermore, RCU CPU
+ stall warnings are counter-productive during sysrq dumps and during
+ panics. RCU therefore supplies the ``rcu_sysrq_start()`` and
+ ``rcu_sysrq_end()`` API members to be called before and after long
+ sysrq dumps. RCU also supplies the ``rcu_panic()`` notifier that is
+ automatically invoked at the beginning of a panic to suppress further
+ RCU CPU stall warnings.
+
+ 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.
+
+#. 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.
+#. In kernels built with ``CONFIG_RCU_TRACE=y``, RCU-related information
+ is provided via event tracing.
+#. Open-coded use of ``rcu_assign_pointer()`` and ``rcu_dereference()``
+ to create typical linked data structures can be surprisingly
+ error-prone. Therefore, RCU-protected `linked
+ lists <https://lwn.net/Articles/609973/#RCU%20List%20APIs>`__ and,
+ more recently, RCU-protected `hash
+ tables <https://lwn.net/Articles/612100/>`__ are available. Many
+ other special-purpose RCU-protected data structures are available in
+ the Linux kernel and the userspace RCU library.
+#. Some linked structures are created at compile time, but still require
+ ``__rcu`` checking. The ``RCU_POINTER_INITIALIZER()`` macro serves
+ this purpose.
+#. It is not necessary to use ``rcu_assign_pointer()`` when creating
+ linked structures that are to be published via a single external
+ pointer. The ``RCU_INIT_POINTER()`` macro is provided for this task
+ and also for assigning ``NULL`` pointers at runtime.
+
+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.
+
+Linux Kernel Complications
+--------------------------
+
+The Linux kernel provides an interesting environment for all kinds of
+software, including RCU. Some of the relevant points of interest are as
+follows:
+
+#. `Configuration`_
+#. `Firmware Interface`_
+#. `Early Boot`_
+#. `Interrupts and NMIs`_
+#. `Loadable Modules`_
+#. `Hotplug CPU`_
+#. `Scheduler and RCU`_
+#. `Tracing and RCU`_
+#. `Accesses to User Memory and RCU`_
+#. `Energy Efficiency`_
+#. `Scheduling-Clock Interrupts and RCU`_
+#. `Memory Efficiency`_
+#. `Performance, Scalability, Response Time, and Reliability`_
+
+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.
+
+Configuration
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+RCU's goal is automatic configuration, so that almost nobody needs to
+worry about RCU's ``Kconfig`` options. And for almost all users, RCU
+does in fact work well “out of the box.”
+
+However, there are specialized use cases that are handled by kernel boot
+parameters and ``Kconfig`` options. Unfortunately, the ``Kconfig``
+system will explicitly ask users about new ``Kconfig`` options, which
+requires almost all of them be hidden behind a ``CONFIG_RCU_EXPERT``
+``Kconfig`` option.
+
+This all should be quite obvious, but the fact remains that Linus
+Torvalds recently had to
+`remind <https://lkml.kernel.org/g/CA+55aFy4wcCwaL4okTs8wXhGZ5h-ibecy_Meg9C4MNQrUnwMcg@mail.gmail.com>`__
+me of this requirement.
+
+Firmware Interface
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+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.
+
+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 ``ps``
+listings.
+
+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 “ghost CPUs” (which are never going to come online) cause a
+number of `interesting
+complications <https://paulmck.livejournal.com/37494.html>`__.
+
+Early Boot
+~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The Linux kernel's boot sequence is an interesting process, and RCU is
+used early, even before ``rcu_init()`` is invoked. In fact, a number of
+RCU's primitives can be used as soon as the initial task's
+``task_struct`` is available and the boot CPU's per-CPU variables are
+set up. The read-side primitives (``rcu_read_lock()``,
+``rcu_read_unlock()``, ``rcu_dereference()``, and
+``rcu_access_pointer()``) will operate normally very early on, as will
+``rcu_assign_pointer()``.
+
+Although ``call_rcu()`` 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 ``early_initcall()`` 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.
+
+Perhaps surprisingly, ``synchronize_rcu()`` and
+``synchronize_rcu_expedited()``, will operate normally during very early
+boot, the reason being that there is only one CPU and preemption is
+disabled. This means that the call ``synchronize_rcu()`` (or friends)
+itself is a quiescent state and thus a grace period, so the early-boot
+implementation can be a no-op.
+
+However, once the scheduler has spawned its first kthread, this early
+boot trick fails for ``synchronize_rcu()`` (as well as for
+``synchronize_rcu_expedited()``) in ``CONFIG_PREEMPT=y`` kernels. The
+reason is that an RCU read-side critical section might be preempted,
+which means that a subsequent ``synchronize_rcu()`` really does have to
+wait for something, as opposed to simply returning immediately.
+Unfortunately, ``synchronize_rcu()`` can't do this until all of its
+kthreads are spawned, which doesn't happen until some time during
+``early_initcalls()`` 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.
+
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| **Quick Quiz**: |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| How can RCU possibly handle grace periods before all of its kthreads |
+| have been spawned??? |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| **Answer**: |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| Very carefully! |
+| During the “dead zone” between the time that the scheduler spawns the |
+| first task and the time that all of RCU's kthreads have been spawned, |
+| all synchronous grace periods are handled by the expedited |
+| grace-period mechanism. At runtime, this expedited mechanism relies |
+| on workqueues, but during the dead zone the requesting task itself |
+| drives the desired expedited grace period. Because dead-zone |
+| execution takes place within task context, everything works. Once the |
+| dead zone ends, expedited grace periods go back to using workqueues, |
+| as is required to avoid problems that would otherwise occur when a |
+| user task received a POSIX signal while driving an expedited grace |
+| period. |
+| |
+| And yes, this does mean that it is unhelpful to send POSIX signals to |
+| random tasks between the time that the scheduler spawns its first |
+| kthread and the time that RCU's kthreads have all been spawned. If |
+| there ever turns out to be a good reason for sending POSIX signals |
+| during that time, appropriate adjustments will be made. (If it turns |
+| out that POSIX signals are sent during this time for no good reason, |
+| other adjustments will be made, appropriate or otherwise.) |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+
+I learned of these boot-time requirements as a result of a series of
+system hangs.
+
+Interrupts and NMIs
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+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 ``call_rcu()``.
+
+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
+“half-interrupts” 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.
+
+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 ``call_rcu()``, are prohibited within
+NMI handlers.
+
+The name notwithstanding, some Linux-kernel architectures can have
+nested NMIs, which RCU must handle correctly. Andy Lutomirski `surprised
+me <https://lkml.kernel.org/r/CALCETrXLq1y7e_dKFPgou-FKHB6Pu-r8+t-6Ds+8=va7anBWDA@mail.gmail.com>`__
+with this requirement; he also kindly surprised me with `an
+algorithm <https://lkml.kernel.org/r/CALCETrXSY9JpW3uE6H8WYk81sg56qasA2aqmjMPsq5dOtzso=g@mail.gmail.com>`__
+that meets this requirement.
+
+Furthermore, NMI handlers can be interrupted by what appear to RCU to be
+normal interrupts. One way that this can happen is for code that
+directly invokes ``rcu_irq_enter()`` and ``rcu_irq_exit()`` to be called
+from an NMI handler. This astonishing fact of life prompted the current
+code structure, which has ``rcu_irq_enter()`` invoking
+``rcu_nmi_enter()`` and ``rcu_irq_exit()`` invoking ``rcu_nmi_exit()``.
+And yes, I also learned of this requirement the hard way.
+
+Loadable Modules
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+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 ``mod_timer()`` must be dealt
+with via ``del_timer_sync()`` or similar.
+
+Unfortunately, there is no way to cancel an RCU callback; once you
+invoke ``call_rcu()``, the callback function is eventually going to 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.
+
+RCU therefore provides ``rcu_barrier()``, which waits until all
+in-flight RCU callbacks have been invoked. If a module uses
+``call_rcu()``, its exit function should therefore prevent any future
+invocation of ``call_rcu()``, then invoke ``rcu_barrier()``. In theory,
+the underlying module-unload code could invoke ``rcu_barrier()``
+unconditionally, but in practice this would incur unacceptable
+latencies.
+
+Nikita Danilov noted this requirement for an analogous
+filesystem-unmount situation, and Dipankar Sarma incorporated
+``rcu_barrier()`` into RCU. The need for ``rcu_barrier()`` for module
+unloading became apparent later.
+
+.. important::
+
+ The ``rcu_barrier()`` function is not, repeat,
+ *not*, 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,
+ ``rcu_barrier()`` is within its rights to return immediately. Even if
+ there are callbacks posted, ``rcu_barrier()`` does not necessarily need
+ to wait for a grace period.
+
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| **Quick Quiz**: |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| Wait a minute! Each RCU callbacks must wait for a grace period to |
+| complete, and ``rcu_barrier()`` must wait for each pre-existing |
+| callback to be invoked. Doesn't ``rcu_barrier()`` therefore need to |
+| wait for a full grace period if there is even one callback posted |
+| anywhere in the system? |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| **Answer**: |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| Absolutely not!!! |
+| 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 ``rcu_barrier()`` is invoked. In that case, ``rcu_barrier()`` |
+| need only wait for the remaining portion of the grace period to |
+| elapse. So even if there are quite a few callbacks posted, |
+| ``rcu_barrier()`` might well return quite quickly. |
+| |
+| So if you need to wait for a grace period as well as for all |
+| pre-existing callbacks, you will need to invoke both |
+| ``synchronize_rcu()`` and ``rcu_barrier()``. If latency is a concern, |
+| you can always use workqueues to invoke them concurrently. |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+
+Hotplug CPU
+~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+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 `SRCU <#Sleepable%20RCU>`__ 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 “interesting.”
+
+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 ``synchronize_rcu()`` and
+``synchronize_rcu_expedited()``.
+
+However, all-callback-wait operations such as ``rcu_barrier()`` 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, ``rcu_barrier()`` blocks CPU-hotplug operations
+during its execution, which results in another type of deadlock when
+invoked from a CPU-hotplug notifier.
+
+Scheduler and RCU
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+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 ``CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y`` `did come as a surprise
+[PDF] <http://www.rdrop.com/users/paulmck/scalability/paper/BareMetal.2015.01.15b.pdf>`__.
+RCU has made good progress towards meeting this requirement, even for
+context-switch-heavy ``CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y`` workloads, but there is
+room for further improvement.
+
+There is no longer any prohibition against holding any of
+scheduler's runqueue or priority-inheritance spinlocks across an
+``rcu_read_unlock()``, even if interrupts and preemption were enabled
+somewhere within the corresponding RCU read-side critical section.
+Therefore, it is now perfectly legal to execute ``rcu_read_lock()``
+with preemption enabled, acquire one of the scheduler locks, and hold
+that lock across the matching ``rcu_read_unlock()``.
+
+Similarly, the RCU flavor consolidation has removed the need for negative
+nesting. The fact that interrupt-disabled regions of code act as RCU
+read-side critical sections implicitly avoids earlier issues that used
+to result in destructive recursion via interrupt handler's use of RCU.
+
+Tracing and RCU
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+It is possible to use tracing on RCU code, but tracing itself uses RCU.
+For this reason, ``rcu_dereference_raw_check()`` 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.
+
+Accesses to User Memory and RCU
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The kernel needs to access user-space memory, for example, to access data
+referenced by system-call parameters. The ``get_user()`` macro does this job.
+
+However, user-space memory might well be paged out, which means that
+``get_user()`` might well page-fault and thus block while waiting for the
+resulting I/O to complete. It would be a very bad thing for the compiler to
+reorder a ``get_user()`` invocation into an RCU read-side critical section.
+
+For example, suppose that the source code looked like this:
+
+ ::
+
+ 1 rcu_read_lock();
+ 2 p = rcu_dereference(gp);
+ 3 v = p->value;
+ 4 rcu_read_unlock();
+ 5 get_user(user_v, user_p);
+ 6 do_something_with(v, user_v);
+
+The compiler must not be permitted to transform this source code into
+the following:
+
+ ::
+
+ 1 rcu_read_lock();
+ 2 p = rcu_dereference(gp);
+ 3 get_user(user_v, user_p); // BUG: POSSIBLE PAGE FAULT!!!
+ 4 v = p->value;
+ 5 rcu_read_unlock();
+ 6 do_something_with(v, user_v);
+
+If the compiler did make this transformation in a ``CONFIG_PREEMPT=n`` kernel
+build, and if ``get_user()`` did page fault, the result would be a quiescent
+state in the middle of an RCU read-side critical section. This misplaced
+quiescent state could result in line 4 being a use-after-free access,
+which could be bad for your kernel's actuarial statistics. Similar examples
+can be constructed with the call to ``get_user()`` preceding the
+``rcu_read_lock()``.
+
+Unfortunately, ``get_user()`` doesn't have any particular ordering properties,
+and in some architectures the underlying ``asm`` isn't even marked
+``volatile``. And even if it was marked ``volatile``, the above access to
+``p->value`` is not volatile, so the compiler would not have any reason to keep
+those two accesses in order.
+
+Therefore, the Linux-kernel definitions of ``rcu_read_lock()`` and
+``rcu_read_unlock()`` must act as compiler barriers, at least for outermost
+instances of ``rcu_read_lock()`` and ``rcu_read_unlock()`` within a nested set
+of RCU read-side critical sections.
+
+Energy Efficiency
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+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.
+
+Because RCU avoids interrupting idle CPUs, it is illegal to execute an
+RCU read-side critical section on an idle CPU. (Kernels built with
+``CONFIG_PROVE_RCU=y`` will splat if you try it.) The ``RCU_NONIDLE()``
+macro and ``_rcuidle`` event tracing is provided to work around this
+restriction. In addition, ``rcu_is_watching()`` 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 ``RCU_NONIDLE()`` on the other while inspecting idle-loop code.
+Steven Rostedt supplied ``_rcuidle`` event tracing, which is used quite
+heavily in the idle loop. However, there are some restrictions on the
+code placed within ``RCU_NONIDLE()``:
+
+#. Blocking is prohibited. In practice, this is not a serious
+ restriction given that idle tasks are prohibited from blocking to
+ begin with.
+#. Although nesting ``RCU_NONIDLE()`` 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.
+#. Any code path that enters ``RCU_NONIDLE()`` must sequence out of that
+ same ``RCU_NONIDLE()``. For example, the following is grossly
+ illegal:
+
+ ::
+
+ 1 RCU_NONIDLE({
+ 2 do_something();
+ 3 goto bad_idea; /* BUG!!! */
+ 4 do_something_else();});
+ 5 bad_idea:
+
+
+ It is just as illegal to transfer control into the middle of
+ ``RCU_NONIDLE()``'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.
+
+It is similarly socially unacceptable to interrupt an ``nohz_full`` CPU
+running in userspace. RCU must therefore track ``nohz_full`` 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.
+
+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 `real energy savings running on real
+hardware
+[PDF] <http://www.rdrop.com/users/paulmck/realtime/paper/AMPenergy.2013.04.19a.pdf>`__.
+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!
+
+Scheduling-Clock Interrupts and RCU
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The kernel transitions between in-kernel non-idle execution, userspace
+execution, and the idle loop. Depending on kernel configuration, RCU
+handles these states differently:
+
++-----------------+------------------+------------------+-----------------+
+| ``HZ`` Kconfig | In-Kernel | Usermode | Idle |
++=================+==================+==================+=================+
+| ``HZ_PERIODIC`` | Can rely on | Can rely on | Can rely on |
+| | scheduling-clock | scheduling-clock | RCU's |
+| | interrupt. | interrupt and | dyntick-idle |
+| | | its detection | detection. |

++-----------------+------------------+------------------+-----------------+
+| ``NO_HZ_IDLE`` | Can rely on | Can rely on | Can rely on |
+| | scheduling-clock | scheduling-clock | RCU's |
+| | interrupt. | interrupt and | dyntick-idle |
+| | | its detection | detection. |
+| | | of interrupt | |
+| | | from usermode. | |
++-----------------+------------------+------------------+-----------------+
+| ``NO_HZ_FULL`` | Can only | Can rely on | Can rely on |
+| | sometimes rely | RCU's | RCU's |
+| | on | dyntick-idle | dyntick-idle |
+| | scheduling-clock | detection. | detection. |
+| | interrupt. In | | |
+| | other cases, it | | |
+| | is necessary to | | |
+| | bound kernel | | |
+| | execution times | | |
+| | and/or use | | |
+| | IPIs. | | |
++-----------------+------------------+------------------+-----------------+
+
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| **Quick Quiz**: |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| Why can't ``NO_HZ_FULL`` in-kernel execution rely on the |
+| scheduling-clock interrupt, just like ``HZ_PERIODIC`` and |
+| ``NO_HZ_IDLE`` do? |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| **Answer**: |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| Because, as a performance optimization, ``NO_HZ_FULL`` does not |
+| necessarily re-enable the scheduling-clock interrupt on entry to each |
+| and every system call. |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+
+However, RCU must be reliably informed as to whether any given CPU is
+currently in the idle loop, and, for ``NO_HZ_FULL``, also whether that
+CPU is executing in usermode, as discussed
+`earlier <#Energy%20Efficiency>`__. It also requires that the
+scheduling-clock interrupt be enabled when RCU needs it to be:
+
+#. 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.
+#. 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. **DON'T DO THIS!!!**
+ This is one reason to test with lockdep, which will complain about
+ this sort of thing.
+#. 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 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
+ ``rcu_irq_enter()`` and ``rcu_irq_exit()`` at exception entry and
+ exit, respectively. Some go further and avoid the entireties of
+ ``irq_enter()`` and ``irq_exit()``.
+ Just make very sure you are running some of your tests with
+ ``CONFIG_PROVE_RCU=y``, just in case one of your code paths was in
+ fact joking about not doing RCU read-side critical sections.
+#. 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.
+ If the gap grows too long, you get RCU CPU stall warnings.
+#. If a CPU is either idle or executing in usermode, and RCU believes it
+ to be idle, of course no problem.
+#. 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.
+ If the gap between a successive pair of quiescent states grows too
+ long, you get RCU CPU stall warnings.
+
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| **Quick Quiz**: |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| But what if my driver has a hardware interrupt handler that can run |
+| for many seconds? I cannot invoke ``schedule()`` from an hardware |
+| interrupt handler, after all! |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| **Answer**: |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| One approach is to do ``rcu_irq_exit();rcu_irq_enter();`` every so |
+| often. But given that long-running interrupt handlers can cause other |
+| problems, not least for response time, shouldn't you work to keep |
+| your interrupt handler's runtime within reasonable bounds? |
++-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
+
+But as long as RCU is properly informed of kernel state transitions
+between in-kernel execution, usermode execution, and idle, and as long
+as the scheduling-clock interrupt is enabled when RCU needs it to be,
+you can rest assured that the bugs you encounter will be in some other
+part of RCU or some other part of the kernel!
+
+Memory Efficiency
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+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 ``rcu_head`` structure used by ``call_rcu()`` and
+``kfree_rcu()``. 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 ``page`` structure is a case
+in point, as evidenced by the many occurrences of the ``union`` keyword
+within that structure.
+
+This need for memory efficiency is one reason that RCU uses hand-crafted
+singly linked lists to track the ``rcu_head`` structures that are
+waiting for a grace period to elapse. It is also the reason why
+``rcu_head`` structures do not contain debug information, such as fields
+tracking the file and line of the ``call_rcu()`` or ``kfree_rcu()`` that
+posted them. Although this information might appear in debug-only kernel
+builds at some point, in the meantime, the ``->func`` field will often
+provide the needed debug information.
+
+However, in some cases, the need for memory efficiency leads to even
+more extreme measures. Returning to the ``page`` structure, the
+``rcu_head`` 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 `race
+conditions <https://lkml.kernel.org/g/1439976106-137226-1-git-send-email-kirill.shutemov@linux.intel.com>`__,
+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 ``rcu_head`` structure's
+``->next`` field. RCU makes this guarantee as long as ``call_rcu()`` is
+used to post the callback, as opposed to ``kfree_rcu()`` or some future
+“lazy” variant of ``call_rcu()`` that might one day be created for
+energy-efficiency purposes.
+
+That said, there are limits. RCU requires that the ``rcu_head``
+structure be aligned to a two-byte boundary, and passing a misaligned
+``rcu_head`` structure to one of the ``call_rcu()`` family of functions
+will result in a splat. It is therefore necessary to exercise caution
+when packing structures containing fields of type ``rcu_head``. 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.
+
+The reason for reserving the bottom bit of pointers to ``rcu_head``
+structures is to leave the door open to “lazy” 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.
+
+Performance, Scalability, Response Time, and Reliability
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Expanding on the `earlier
+discussion <#Performance%20and%20Scalability>`__, 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 ``rcu_read_lock()`` could be inlined, however, doing
+this requires resolving ``#include`` issues with the ``task_struct``
+structure.
+
+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 ``rcu_node`` 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 *decrease* the per-operation overhead, witness the batching
+optimizations for ``synchronize_rcu()``, ``call_rcu()``,
+``synchronize_rcu_expedited()``, and ``rcu_barrier()``. As a general
+rule, RCU must cheerfully accept whatever the rest of the Linux kernel
+decides to throw at it.
+
+The Linux kernel is used for real-time workloads, especially in
+conjunction with the `-rt
+patchset <https://rt.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Main_Page>`__. 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 ``CONFIG_PREEMPT=y`` 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 `real-time
+patch <https://lwn.net/Articles/107930/>`__ did not meet their needs, in
+conjunction with some `RCU
+issues <https://lkml.kernel.org/g/20050318002026.GA2693@us.ibm.com>`__
+encountered by a very early version of the -rt patchset.
+
+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 `applies to
+even the largest systems
+[PDF] <http://www.rdrop.com/users/paulmck/realtime/paper/bigrt.2013.01.31a.LCA.pdf>`__,
+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.
+
+RCU must avoid degrading real-time response for CPU-bound threads,
+whether executing in usermode (which is one use case for
+``CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y``) or in the kernel. That said, CPU-bound loops in
+the kernel must execute ``cond_resched()`` at least once per few tens of
+milliseconds in order to avoid receiving an IPI from RCU.
+
+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 ``rcutorture``.
+
+Although the need for ``rcutorture`` was no surprise, the current
+immense popularity of the Linux kernel is posing interesting—and perhaps
+unprecedented—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.
+
+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 *day* 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.
+
+Other RCU Flavors
+-----------------
+
+One of the more surprising things about RCU is that there are now no
+fewer than five *flavors*, 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.
+
+#. `Bottom-Half Flavor (Historical)`_
+#. `Sched Flavor (Historical)`_
+#. `Sleepable RCU`_
+#. `Tasks RCU`_
+
+Bottom-Half Flavor (Historical)
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The RCU-bh flavor of RCU has since been expressed in terms of the other
+RCU flavors as part of a consolidation of the three flavors into a
+single flavor. The read-side API remains, and continues to disable
+softirq and to be accounted for by lockdep. Much of the material in this
+section is therefore strictly historical in nature.
+
+The softirq-disable (AKA “bottom-half”, hence the “_bh” abbreviations)
+flavor of RCU, or *RCU-bh*, 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.
+
+The solution was the creation of RCU-bh, which does
+``local_bh_disable()`` 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.
+
+Because ``rcu_read_lock_bh()`` and ``rcu_read_unlock_bh()`` 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, ``rcu_read_unlock_bh()`` 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 ``rcu_read_unlock_bh()``, 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
+``rcu_read_unlock_bh()``. This can of course make it appear at first
+glance as if ``rcu_read_unlock_bh()`` was executing very slowly.
+
+The `RCU-bh
+API <https://lwn.net/Articles/609973/#RCU%20Per-Flavor%20API%20Table>`__
+includes ``rcu_read_lock_bh()``, ``rcu_read_unlock_bh()``,
+``rcu_dereference_bh()``, ``rcu_dereference_bh_check()``,
+``synchronize_rcu_bh()``, ``synchronize_rcu_bh_expedited()``,
+``call_rcu_bh()``, ``rcu_barrier_bh()``, and
+``rcu_read_lock_bh_held()``. However, the update-side APIs are now
+simple wrappers for other RCU flavors, namely RCU-sched in
+CONFIG_PREEMPT=n kernels and RCU-preempt otherwise.
+
+Sched Flavor (Historical)
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The RCU-sched flavor of RCU has since been expressed in terms of the
+other RCU flavors as part of a consolidation of the three flavors into a
+single flavor. The read-side API remains, and continues to disable
+preemption and to be accounted for by lockdep. Much of the material in
+this section is therefore strictly historical in nature.
+
+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,
+*RCU-sched* was created, which follows “classic” RCU in that an
+RCU-sched grace period waits for pre-existing interrupt and NMI
+handlers. In kernels built with ``CONFIG_PREEMPT=n``, the RCU and
+RCU-sched APIs have identical implementations, while kernels built with
+``CONFIG_PREEMPT=y`` provide a separate implementation for each.
+
+Note well that in ``CONFIG_PREEMPT=y`` kernels,
+``rcu_read_lock_sched()`` and ``rcu_read_unlock_sched()`` disable and
+re-enable preemption, respectively. This means that if there was a
+preemption attempt during the RCU-sched read-side critical section,
+``rcu_read_unlock_sched()`` will enter the scheduler, with all the
+latency and overhead entailed. Just as with ``rcu_read_unlock_bh()``,
+this can make it look as if ``rcu_read_unlock_sched()`` was executing
+very slowly. However, the highest-priority task won't be preempted, so
+that task will enjoy low-overhead ``rcu_read_unlock_sched()``
+invocations.
+
+The `RCU-sched
+API <https://lwn.net/Articles/609973/#RCU%20Per-Flavor%20API%20Table>`__
+includes ``rcu_read_lock_sched()``, ``rcu_read_unlock_sched()``,
+``rcu_read_lock_sched_notrace()``, ``rcu_read_unlock_sched_notrace()``,
+``rcu_dereference_sched()``, ``rcu_dereference_sched_check()``,
+``synchronize_sched()``, ``synchronize_rcu_sched_expedited()``,
+``call_rcu_sched()``, ``rcu_barrier_sched()``, and
+``rcu_read_lock_sched_held()``. However, anything that disables
+preemption also marks an RCU-sched read-side critical section, including
+``preempt_disable()`` and ``preempt_enable()``, ``local_irq_save()`` and
+``local_irq_restore()``, and so on.
+
+Sleepable RCU
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+For well over a decade, someone saying “I need to block within an RCU
+read-side critical section” 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 `sleepable RCU <https://lwn.net/Articles/202847/>`__, or
+*SRCU*.
+
+SRCU allows different domains to be defined, with each such domain
+defined by an instance of an ``srcu_struct`` structure. A pointer to
+this structure must be passed in to each SRCU function, for example,
+``synchronize_srcu(&ss)``, where ``ss`` is the ``srcu_struct``
+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 “cookie” from ``srcu_read_lock()`` to ``srcu_read_unlock()``, for
+example, as follows:
+
+ ::
+
+ 1 int idx;
+ 2
+ 3 idx = srcu_read_lock(&ss);
+ 4 do_something();
+ 5 srcu_read_unlock(&ss, idx);
+
+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 wait, either directly or indirectly, for that domain's grace
+period to elapse. For example, this results in a self-deadlock:
+
+ ::
+
+ 1 int idx;
+ 2
+ 3 idx = srcu_read_lock(&ss);
+ 4 do_something();
+ 5 synchronize_srcu(&ss);
+ 6 srcu_read_unlock(&ss, idx);
+
+However, if line 5 acquired a mutex that was held across a
+``synchronize_srcu()`` for domain ``ss``, deadlock would still be
+possible. Furthermore, if line 5 acquired a mutex that was held across a
+``synchronize_srcu()`` for some other domain ``ss1``, and if an
+``ss1``-domain SRCU read-side critical section acquired another mutex
+that was held across as ``ss``-domain ``synchronize_srcu()``, 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.
+
+Unlike the other RCU flavors, SRCU read-side critical sections can run
+on idle and even offline CPUs. This ability requires that
+``srcu_read_lock()`` and ``srcu_read_unlock()`` contain memory barriers,
+which means that SRCU readers will run a bit slower than would RCU
+readers. It also motivates the ``smp_mb__after_srcu_read_unlock()`` API,
+which, in combination with ``srcu_read_unlock()``, guarantees a full
+memory barrier.
+
+Also unlike other RCU flavors, ``synchronize_srcu()`` may **not** be
+invoked from CPU-hotplug notifiers, due to the fact that SRCU grace
+periods make use of timers and the possibility of timers being
+temporarily “stranded” on the outgoing CPU. This stranding of timers
+means that timers posted to the outgoing CPU will not fire until late in
+the CPU-hotplug process. The problem is that if a notifier is waiting on
+an SRCU grace period, that grace period is waiting on a timer, and that
+timer is stranded on the outgoing CPU, then the notifier will never be
+awakened, in other words, deadlock has occurred. This same situation of
+course also prohibits ``srcu_barrier()`` from being invoked from
+CPU-hotplug notifiers.
+
+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 ``srcutree.exp_holdoff`` kernel boot parameter (25 microseconds
+by default), and if a ``synchronize_srcu()`` invocation ends this idle
+period, that invocation will be automatically expedited.
+
+As of v4.12, SRCU's callbacks are maintained per-CPU, eliminating a
+locking bottleneck present in prior kernel versions. Although this will
+allow users to put much heavier stress on ``call_srcu()``, it is
+important to note that SRCU does not yet take any special steps to deal
+with callback flooding. 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.
+
+The `SRCU
+API <https://lwn.net/Articles/609973/#RCU%20Per-Flavor%20API%20Table>`__
+includes ``srcu_read_lock()``, ``srcu_read_unlock()``,
+``srcu_dereference()``, ``srcu_dereference_check()``,
+``synchronize_srcu()``, ``synchronize_srcu_expedited()``,
+``call_srcu()``, ``srcu_barrier()``, and ``srcu_read_lock_held()``. It
+also includes ``DEFINE_SRCU()``, ``DEFINE_STATIC_SRCU()``, and
+``init_srcu_struct()`` APIs for defining and initializing
+``srcu_struct`` structures.
+
+Tasks RCU
+~~~~~~~~~
+
+Some forms of tracing use “trampolines” 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 ``rcu_read_lock()`` and ``rcu_read_unlock()``. In addition, it does
+not work to have these markers in the trampoline itself, because there
+would need to be instructions following ``rcu_read_unlock()``. Although
+``synchronize_rcu()`` would guarantee that execution reached the
+``rcu_read_unlock()``, it would not be able to guarantee that execution
+had completely left the trampoline. Worse yet, in some situations
+the trampoline's protection must extend a few instructions *prior* to
+execution reaching the trampoline. For example, these few instructions
+might calculate the address of the trampoline, so that entering the
+trampoline would be pre-ordained a surprisingly long time before execution
+actually reached the trampoline itself.
+
+The solution, in the form of `Tasks
+RCU <https://lwn.net/Articles/607117/>`__, is to have implicit read-side
+critical sections that are delimited by voluntary context switches, that
+is, calls to ``schedule()``, ``cond_resched()``, and
+``synchronize_rcu_tasks()``. In addition, transitions to and from
+userspace execution also delimit tasks-RCU read-side critical sections.
+
+The tasks-RCU API is quite compact, consisting only of
+``call_rcu_tasks()``, ``synchronize_rcu_tasks()``, and
+``rcu_barrier_tasks()``. In ``CONFIG_PREEMPT=n`` kernels, trampolines
+cannot be preempted, so these APIs map to ``call_rcu()``,
+``synchronize_rcu()``, and ``rcu_barrier()``, respectively. In
+``CONFIG_PREEMPT=y`` kernels, trampolines can be preempted, and these
+three APIs are therefore implemented by separate functions that check
+for voluntary context switches.
+
+Possible Future Changes
+-----------------------
+
+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.
+
+RCU disables CPU hotplug in a few places, perhaps most notably in the
+``rcu_barrier()`` operations. If there is a strong reason to use
+``rcu_barrier()`` in CPU-hotplug notifiers, it will be necessary to
+avoid disabling CPU hotplug. This would introduce some complexity, so
+there had better be a *very* good reason.
+
+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.
+
+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 ``call_rcu()`` in the common case. If you
+believe that your architecture needs such spreading and alignment, then
+your architecture should also benefit from the
+``rcutree.rcu_fanout_leaf`` 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
+“interesting” architectural choice! More flexible arrangements might be
+considered, but only if ``rcutree.rcu_fanout_leaf`` has proven
+inadequate, and only if the inadequacy has been demonstrated by a
+carefully run and realistic system-level workload.
+
+Please note that arrangements that require RCU to remap CPU numbers will
+require extremely good demonstration of need and full exploration of
+alternatives.
+
+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 ``call_rcu()`` instance, though
+probably not in production kernels.
+
+Additional work may be required to provide reasonable forward-progress
+guarantees under heavy load for grace periods and for callback
+invocation.
+
+Summary
+-------
+
+This document has presented more than two decade's worth of RCU
+requirements. Given that the requirements keep changing, this will not
+be the last word on this subject, but at least it serves to get an
+important subset of the requirements set forth.

+
+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?
+
+:ref:`Answer to Quick Quiz <answer_quick_quiz_NMI>`
+
+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_rcu(), perhaps as
+follows::
+
+ unset_nmi_callback();
+ synchronize_rcu();
+ kfree(my_nmi_data);
+
+This works because (as of v4.20) synchronize_rcu() blocks until all
+CPUs complete any preemption-disabled segments of code that they were
+executing.
+Since NMI handlers disable preemption, synchronize_rcu() 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_rcu() 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_quick_quiz_NMI:
+
+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?
+
+ 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?
+
+:ref:`Answers to Quick Quiz <answer_quick_quiz_up>`
+
+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.

+ What locking restriction must RCU callbacks respect?
+
+:ref:`Answers to Quick Quiz <answer_quick_quiz_up>`
+
+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.
+
+Note that it *is* safe for synchronize_rcu() to return immediately on
+UP systems, including PREEMPT SMP builds running on UP systems.
+
+Quick Quiz #3:
+ Why can't synchronize_rcu() return immediately on UP systems running
+ preemptable RCU?
+
+.. _answer_quick_quiz_up:
+
+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 _bh 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_bh() to acquire the lock. Please note that
+ it is also OK to use _irq variants of spinlocks, for example,
+ spin_lock_irqsave().
+
+ 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. :ref:`Hash Tables <hash_tables>`
+
+2. :ref:`Static Arrays <static_arrays>`
+
+3. :ref:`Resizable Arrays <resizable_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.
+
+.. _hash_tables:
+
+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.
+
+.. _static_arrays:
+
+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?
+
+:ref:`Answer to Quick Quiz <answer_quick_quiz_seqlock>`
+
+.. _resizable_arrays:
+
+Situation 3: Resizable Arrays
+------------------------------
+
+Use of RCU for resizable 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_quick_quiz_seqlock:
+
+Answer to Quick Quiz:
+ Why is it so important that updates be rare when using seqlock?
+
+ 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 and prevents lockdep from detecting locking issues.
+
+ 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 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_srcu(), synchronize_rcu_expedited(), 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. As of v4.20, a given kernel implements only one RCU flavor,
+ which is RCU-sched for PREEMPT=n and RCU-preempt for PREEMPT=y.
+ If the updater uses call_rcu() or synchronize_rcu(),
+ then the corresponding readers my use rcu_read_lock() and
+ rcu_read_unlock(), rcu_read_lock_bh() and rcu_read_unlock_bh(),
+ or any pair of primitives that disables and re-enables preemption,
+ for example, 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, and has even resulted in an exploitable security
+ issue.
+
+ 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. Periodically invoke synchronize_rcu(), permitting a limited
+ number of updates per grace period.
+
+ The same cautions apply to 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. 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 softirq 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.
+
+12. 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.
+
+ Do not assume that RCU callbacks will be executed on the same
+ CPU that executed the corresponding call_rcu() or call_srcu().
+ 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.)
+ Furthermore, CPUs designated by rcu_nocbs= might well -always-
+ have their RCU callbacks executed on some other CPUs, in fact,
+ for some real-time workloads, this is the whole point of using
+ the rcu_nocbs= kernel boot parameter.
+
+13. 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().
+
+ Note that rcu_assign_pointer() relates to SRCU just as it does to
+ other forms of RCU, but instead of rcu_dereference() you should
+ use srcu_dereference() in order to avoid lockdep splats.
+
+14. 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.
+
+15. 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.
+
+ For SRCU readers, you can use smp_mb__after_srcu_read_unlock()
+ immediately after an srcu_read_unlock() to get a full barrier.
+
+16. 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.
+
+17. If you register a callback using call_rcu() 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 is -not-
+ guaranteed to wait for callbacks registered on other CPUs.
+ Or even on the current CPU if that CPU recently went offline
+ and came back online.
+
+ You instead need to use one of the barrier functions:
+
+ - call_rcu() -> rcu_barrier()
+ - 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-mostly list: Deferred Destruction
+-------------------------------------------------
+
+A widely used usecase for RCU lists in the kernel is lockless iteration over
+all processes in the system. ``task_struct::tasks`` represents the list node that
+links all the processes. The list can be traversed in parallel to any list
+additions or removals.
+
+The traversal of the list is done using ``for_each_process()`` which is defined
+by the 2 macros::
+
+ #define next_task(p) \
+ list_entry_rcu((p)->tasks.next, struct task_struct, tasks)
+
+ #define for_each_process(p) \
+ for (p = &init_task ; (p = next_task(p)) != &init_task ; )
+
+The code traversing the list of all processes typically looks like::
+
+ rcu_read_lock();
+ for_each_process(p) {
+ /* Do something with p */
+ }
+ rcu_read_unlock();
+
+The simplified code for removing a process from a task list is::
+
+ void release_task(struct task_struct *p)
+ {
+ write_lock(&tasklist_lock);
+ list_del_rcu(&p->tasks);
+ write_unlock(&tasklist_lock);
+ call_rcu(&p->rcu, delayed_put_task_struct);
+ }
+
+When a process exits, ``release_task()`` calls ``list_del_rcu(&p->tasks)`` under
+``tasklist_lock`` writer lock protection, to remove the task from the list of
+all tasks. The ``tasklist_lock`` prevents concurrent list additions/removals
+from corrupting the list. Readers using ``for_each_process()`` are not protected
+with the ``tasklist_lock``. To prevent readers from noticing changes in the list
+pointers, the ``task_struct`` object is freed only after one or more grace
+periods elapse (with the help of call_rcu()). This deferring of destruction
+ensures that any readers traversing the list will see valid ``p->tasks.next``
+pointers and deletion/freeing can happen in parallel with traversal of the list.
+This pattern is also called an **existence lock**, since RCU pins the object in
+memory until all existing readers finish.
+
+
+Example 2: 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_filter_mutex 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_filter_mutex 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;
+
+ /* No 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)) {
+ 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_filter_mutex``, 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.
+
+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 3: Handling In-Place Updates
+------------------------------------
+
+The system-call auditing code does not update auditing rules in place. However,
+if it did, the reader-writer-locked code to do so might look as follows
+(assuming only ``field_count`` is updated, 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_entry *ne;
+
+ write_lock(&auditsc_lock);
+ /* Note: audit_filter_mutex held by caller. */
+ list_for_each_entry(e, list, list) {
+ if (!audit_compare_rule(rule, &e->rule)) {
+ e->rule.action = newaction;
+ e->rule.field_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 making 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_entry *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.field_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_filter_mutex``. Normally, the
+writer lock would become a spinlock in this sort of code.
+
+Another use of this pattern can be found in the openswitch driver's *connection
+tracking table* code in ``ct_limit_set()``. The table holds connection tracking
+entries and has a limit on the maximum entries. There is one such table
+per-zone and hence one *limit* per zone. The zones are mapped to their limits
+through a hashtable using an RCU-managed hlist for the hash chains. When a new
+limit is set, a new limit object is allocated and ``ct_limit_set()`` is called
+to replace the old limit object with the new one using list_replace_rcu().
+The old limit object is then freed after a grace period using kfree_rcu().
+
+
+Example 4: Eliminating Stale Data
+---------------------------------
+
+The auditing example above tolerates 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 generally 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 shm_lock()
+function in ipc/shm.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 shm_lock() does in fact do.
+
+.. _quick_quiz:
+
+Quick Quiz:
+ For the deleted-flag technique to be helpful, why is it necessary
+ to hold the per-entry lock while returning from the search function?
+
+:ref:`Answer to Quick Quiz <quick_quiz_answer>`
+
+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;
+
+ /* No 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 */
+ }
+
+This too assumes that the caller holds ``audit_filter_mutex``.
+
+
+Example 5: Skipping Stale Objects
+---------------------------------
+
+For some usecases, reader performance can be improved by skipping stale objects
+during read-side list traversal if the object in concern is pending destruction
+after one or more grace periods. One such example can be found in the timerfd
+subsystem. When a ``CLOCK_REALTIME`` clock is reprogrammed - for example due to
+setting of the system time, then all programmed timerfds that depend on this
+clock get triggered and processes waiting on them to expire are woken up in
+advance of their scheduled expiry. To facilitate this, all such timers are added
+to an RCU-managed ``cancel_list`` when they are setup in
+``timerfd_setup_cancel()``::
+
+ static void timerfd_setup_cancel(struct timerfd_ctx *ctx, int flags)
+ {
+ spin_lock(&ctx->cancel_lock);
+ if ((ctx->clockid == CLOCK_REALTIME &&
+ (flags & TFD_TIMER_ABSTIME) && (flags & TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)) {
+ if (!ctx->might_cancel) {
+ ctx->might_cancel = true;
+ spin_lock(&cancel_lock);
+ list_add_rcu(&ctx->clist, &cancel_list);
+ spin_unlock(&cancel_lock);
+ }
+ }
+ spin_unlock(&ctx->cancel_lock);
+ }
+
+When a timerfd is freed (fd is closed), then the ``might_cancel`` flag of the
+timerfd object is cleared, the object removed from the ``cancel_list`` and
+destroyed::
+
+ int timerfd_release(struct inode *inode, struct file *file)
+ {
+ struct timerfd_ctx *ctx = file->private_data;
+
+ spin_lock(&ctx->cancel_lock);
+ if (ctx->might_cancel) {
+ ctx->might_cancel = false;
+ spin_lock(&cancel_lock);
+ list_del_rcu(&ctx->clist);
+ spin_unlock(&cancel_lock);
+ }
+ spin_unlock(&ctx->cancel_lock);
+
+ hrtimer_cancel(&ctx->t.tmr);
+ kfree_rcu(ctx, rcu);
+ return 0;
+ }
+
+If the ``CLOCK_REALTIME`` clock is set, for example by a time server, the
+hrtimer framework calls ``timerfd_clock_was_set()`` which walks the
+``cancel_list`` and wakes up processes waiting on the timerfd. While iterating
+the ``cancel_list``, the ``might_cancel`` flag is consulted to skip stale
+objects::
+
+ void timerfd_clock_was_set(void)
+ {
+ struct timerfd_ctx *ctx;
+ unsigned long flags;
+
+ rcu_read_lock();
+ list_for_each_entry_rcu(ctx, &cancel_list, clist) {
+ if (!ctx->might_cancel)
+ continue;
+ spin_lock_irqsave(&ctx->wqh.lock, flags);
+ if (ctx->moffs != ktime_mono_to_real(0)) {
+ ctx->moffs = KTIME_MAX;
+ ctx->ticks++;
+ wake_up_locked_poll(&ctx->wqh, EPOLLIN);
+ }
+ spin_unlock_irqrestore(&ctx->wqh.lock, flags);
+ }
+ rcu_read_unlock();
+ }
+
+The key point here is, because RCU-traversal of the ``cancel_list`` happens
+while objects are being added and removed to the list, sometimes the traversal
+can step on an object that has been removed from the list. In this example, it
+is seen that it is better to skip such objects using a flag.
+
+
+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.

+ 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

+=================
+Lockdep-RCU Splat
+=================
+
+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.
+
+So let's look at an example RCU lockdep splat from 3.0-rc5, one that
+has long since been fixed::

+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 dereference 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.
+
+Like rcu_dereference(), when lockdep is enabled, RCU list and hlist
+traversal primitives check for being called from within an RCU read-side
+critical section. However, a lockdep expression can be passed to them
+as a additional optional argument. With this lockdep expression, these
+traversal primitives will complain only if the lockdep expression is
+false and they are called from outside any RCU read-side critical section.
+
+For example, the workqueue for_each_pwq() macro is intended to be used
+either within an RCU read-side critical section or with wq->mutex held.
+It is thus implemented as follows::
+
+ #define for_each_pwq(pwq, wq)
+ list_for_each_entry_rcu((pwq), &(wq)->pwqs, pwqs_node,
+ lock_is_held(&(wq->mutex).dep_map))

+
+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
+:ref:`Documentation/RCU/listRCU.rst <list_rcu_doc>` for more information on
+using RCU with linked lists.
+
+Frequently Asked Questions
+--------------------------
+
+- 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.
+
+- 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.
+
+- 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 :ref:`Documentation/RCU/UP.rst <up_doc>` for more information.
+
+- 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", "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).
+
+- What guidelines should I follow when writing code that uses RCU?
+
+ See the checklist.txt file in this directory.
+
+- Why the name "RCU"?
+
+ "RCU" stands for "read-copy update".
+ :ref:`Documentation/RCU/listRCU.rst <list_rcu_doc>` has more information on where
+ this name came from, search for "read-copy update" to find it.
+
+- 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 Documentation/RCU/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 (https://liburcu.org/).
+
+- 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.
+
+- Where can I find more information on RCU?
+
+ See the Documentation/RCU/RTFP.txt file.
+ Or point your browser at (http://www.rdrop.com/users/paulmck/RCU/).

+
+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:
+
+- 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.
+
+- 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:
+
+ - 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.
+
+ - 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.
+
+- 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.
+
+- 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.
+
+- 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.
+
+- 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:
+
+ - 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.
+
+ - 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().
+
+ - 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:
+
+ - Compile time.
+
+ - Boot time.
+
+ - Module-init time for module code.
+
+ - Prior to kthread creation for kthread code.
+
+ - During some prior acquisition of the lock that
+ we now hold.
+
+ - 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.
+
+ - 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".
+
+ - 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.
+
+ - 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.
+
+- 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.
+
+
+WHICH MEMBER OF THE rcu_dereference() FAMILY SHOULD YOU USE?
+------------------------------------------------------------
+
+First, please avoid using rcu_dereference_raw() and also please avoid
+using rcu_dereference_check() and rcu_dereference_protected() with a
+second argument with a constant value of 1 (or true, for that matter).
+With that caution out of the way, here is some guidance for which
+member of the rcu_dereference() to use in various situations:
+
+1. If the access needs to be within an RCU read-side critical
+ section, use rcu_dereference(). With the new consolidated
+ RCU flavors, an RCU read-side critical section is entered
+ using rcu_read_lock(), anything that disables bottom halves,
+ anything that disables interrupts, or anything that disables
+ preemption.
+
+2. If the access might be within an RCU read-side critical section
+ on the one hand, or protected by (say) my_lock on the other,
+ use rcu_dereference_check(), for example::
+
+ p1 = rcu_dereference_check(p->rcu_protected_pointer,
+ lockdep_is_held(&my_lock));
+
+
+3. If the access might be within an RCU read-side critical section
+ on the one hand, or protected by either my_lock or your_lock on
+ the other, again use rcu_dereference_check(), for example::
+
+ p1 = rcu_dereference_check(p->rcu_protected_pointer,
+ lockdep_is_held(&my_lock) ||
+ lockdep_is_held(&your_lock));
+
+4. If the access is on the update side, so that it is always protected
+ by my_lock, use rcu_dereference_protected()::
+
+ p1 = rcu_dereference_protected(p->rcu_protected_pointer,
+ lockdep_is_held(&my_lock));
+
+ This can be extended to handle multiple locks as in #3 above,
+ and both can be extended to check other conditions as well.
+
+5. If the protection is supplied by the caller, and is thus unknown
+ to this code, that is the rare case when rcu_dereference_raw()
+ is appropriate. In addition, rcu_dereference_raw() might be
+ appropriate when the lockdep expression would be excessively
+ complex, except that a better approach in that case might be to
+ take a long hard look at your synchronization design. Still,
+ there are data-locking cases where any one of a very large number
+ of locks or reference counters suffices to protect the pointer,
+ so rcu_dereference_raw() does have its place.
+
+ However, its place is probably quite a bit smaller than one
+ might expect given the number of uses in the current kernel.
+ Ditto for its synonym, rcu_dereference_check( ... , 1), and
+ its close relative, rcu_dereference_protected(... , 1).
+
+
+SPARSE CHECKING OF RCU-PROTECTED POINTERS
+-----------------------------------------
+
+The sparse static-analysis tool checks for direct access to RCU-protected
+pointers, which can result in "interesting" bugs due to compiler
+optimizations involving invented loads and perhaps also load tearing.
+For example, suppose someone mistakenly does something like this::
+
+ p = q->rcu_protected_pointer;
+ do_something_with(p->a);
+ do_something_else_with(p->b);
+
+If register pressure is high, the compiler might optimize "p" out
+of existence, transforming the code to something like this::
+
+ do_something_with(q->rcu_protected_pointer->a);
+ do_something_else_with(q->rcu_protected_pointer->b);
+
+This could fatally disappoint your code if q->rcu_protected_pointer
+changed in the meantime. Nor is this a theoretical problem: Exactly
+this sort of bug cost Paul E. McKenney (and several of his innocent
+colleagues) a three-day weekend back in the early 1990s.
+
+Load tearing could of course result in dereferencing a mashup of a pair
+of pointers, which also might fatally disappoint your code.
+
+These problems could have been avoided simply by making the code instead
+read as follows::
+
+ p = rcu_dereference(q->rcu_protected_pointer);
+ do_something_with(p->a);
+ do_something_else_with(p->b);
+
+Unfortunately, these sorts of bugs can be extremely hard to spot during
+review. This is where the sparse tool comes into play, along with the
+"__rcu" marker. If you mark a pointer declaration, whether in a structure
+or as a formal parameter, with "__rcu", which tells sparse to complain if
+this pointer is accessed directly. It will also cause sparse to complain
+if a pointer not marked with "__rcu" is accessed using rcu_dereference()
+and friends. For example, ->rcu_protected_pointer might be declared as
+follows::
+
+ struct foo __rcu *rcu_protected_pointer;
+
+Use of "__rcu" is opt-in. If you choose not to use it, then you should
+ignore the sparse warnings.

+
+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 is also an srcu_barrier() function for SRCU, 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(), 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();
+ 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;
+ 7 if (shuffler_task != NULL) {
+ 8 VERBOSE_PRINTK_STRING("Stopping rcu_torture_shuffle task");
+ 9 kthread_stop(shuffler_task);
+ 10 }
+ 11 shuffler_task = NULL;
+ 12
+ 13 if (writer_task != NULL) {
+ 14 VERBOSE_PRINTK_STRING("Stopping rcu_torture_writer task");
+ 15 kthread_stop(writer_task);
+ 16 }
+ 17 writer_task = NULL;
+ 18
+ 19 if (reader_tasks != NULL) {
+ 20 for (i = 0; i < nrealreaders; i++) {
+ 21 if (reader_tasks[i] != NULL) {
+ 22 VERBOSE_PRINTK_STRING(
+ 23 "Stopping rcu_torture_reader task");
+ 24 kthread_stop(reader_tasks[i]);
+ 25 }
+ 26 reader_tasks[i] = NULL;
+ 27 }
+ 28 kfree(reader_tasks);
+ 29 reader_tasks = NULL;
+ 30 }
+ 31 rcu_torture_current = NULL;
+ 32
+ 33 if (fakewriter_tasks != NULL) {
+ 34 for (i = 0; i < nfakewriters; i++) {
+ 35 if (fakewriter_tasks[i] != NULL) {
+ 36 VERBOSE_PRINTK_STRING(
+ 37 "Stopping rcu_torture_fakewriter task");
+ 38 kthread_stop(fakewriter_tasks[i]);
+ 39 }
+ 40 fakewriter_tasks[i] = NULL;
+ 41 }
+ 42 kfree(fakewriter_tasks);
+ 43 fakewriter_tasks = NULL;
+ 44 }
+ 45
+ 46 if (stats_task != NULL) {
+ 47 VERBOSE_PRINTK_STRING("Stopping rcu_torture_stats task");
+ 48 kthread_stop(stats_task);
+ 49 }
+ 50 stats_task = NULL;
+ 51
+ 52 /* Wait for all RCU callbacks to fire. */
+ 53 rcu_barrier();
+ 54
+ 55 rcu_torture_stats_print(); /* -After- the stats thread is stopped! */
+ 56
+ 57 if (cur_ops->cleanup != NULL)
+ 58 cur_ops->cleanup();
+ 59 if (atomic_read(&n_rcu_torture_error))
+ 60 rcu_torture_print_module_parms("End of test: FAILURE");
+ 61 else
+ 62 rcu_torture_print_module_parms("End of test: SUCCESS");
+ 63 }
+
+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?
+
+:ref:`Answer to Quick Quiz #1 <answer_rcubarrier_quiz_1>`
+
+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(), you will need to invoke
+rcu_barrier() before unloading. Similarly, if your module uses
+call_srcu(), you will need to invoke srcu_barrier() before unloading,
+and on the same srcu_struct structure. If your module uses call_rcu()
+**and** call_srcu(), then you will need to invoke rcu_barrier() **and**
+srcu_barrier().
+
+
+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 and several times thereafter, but this
+still gives the general idea.
+
+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 }
+
+.. _rcubarrier_quiz_2:
+
+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?
+
+:ref:`Answer to Quick Quiz #2 <answer_rcubarrier_quiz_2>`
+
+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
+------------------------
+
+.. _answer_rcubarrier_quiz_1:
+
+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.
+
+:ref:`Back to Quick Quiz #1 <rcubarrier_quiz_1>`
+
+.. _answer_rcubarrier_quiz_2:
+
+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 RCU hlist_nulls to protect list and objects
+=================================================
+
+This section describes how to use hlist_nulls to
+protect read-mostly linked lists and
+objects using SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU allocations.
+
+Please read the basics in Documentation/RCU/listRCU.rst
+
+Using 'nulls'
+=============
+
+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);
+ }
+
+
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Avoiding extra smp_rmb()
+========================
+
+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,

+====================================================================
+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:
+
+CODE LISTING A::
+
+ 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);
+ if(atomic_dec_and_test(&el->rc)) ...
+ kfree(el);
+ ... 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:
+
+CODE LISTING B::
+
+ 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:
+
+CODE LISTING C::
+
+ 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.
+
+A clear advantage of the RCU-based pattern in listing C over the one
+in listing B is that any call to search_and_reference() that locates
+a given object will succeed in obtaining a reference to that object,
+even given a concurrent invocation of delete() for that same object.
+Similarly, a clear advantage of both listings B and C over listing A is
+that a call to delete() is not delayed even if there are an arbitrarily
+large number of calls to search_and_reference() searching for the same
+object that delete() was invoked on. Instead, all that is delayed is
+the eventual invocation of kfree(), which is usually not a problem on
+modern computer systems, even the small ones.
+
+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);
+ ...
+ }
+
+As additional examples in the kernel, the pattern in listing C is used by
+reference counting of struct pid, while the pattern in listing B is used by
+struct posix_acl.

+==============================
+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:
+
+- A CPU looping in an RCU read-side critical section.
+
+- A CPU looping with interrupts disabled.
+
+- A CPU looping with preemption disabled.
+
+- A CPU looping with bottom halves disabled.
+
+- 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().
+
+- 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.
+
+- 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.
+
+- 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.
+
+- 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.
+
+ You can use the rcutree.kthread_prio kernel boot parameter to
+ increase the scheduling priority of RCU's kthreads, which can
+ help avoid this problem. However, please note that doing this
+ can increase your system's context-switch rate and thus degrade
+ performance.
+
+- 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.
+
+- 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!
+
+- 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.
+
+- A hardware or software issue that prevents time-based wakeups
+ from occurring. These issues can range from misconfigured or
+ buggy timer hardware through bugs in the interrupt or exception
+ path (whether hardware, firmware, or software) through bugs
+ in Linux's timer subsystem through bugs in the scheduler, and,
+ yes, even including bugs in RCU itself.
+
+- A bug in the RCU implementation.
+
+- 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, 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 seconds. 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 an rcu_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 "fqs=" 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 dyntick_enabled: 1
+
+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(). "dyntick_enabled: 1" indicates that dyntick-idle
+processing is enabled.
+
+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 are prefixed by "rcutorture." in
+Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.txt.
+
+Output
+======
+
+The statistics output is as follows::
+
+ rcu-torture:--- Start of test: nreaders=16 nfakewriters=4 stat_interval=30 verbose=0 test_no_idle_hz=1 shuffle_interval=3 stutter=5 irqreader=1 fqs_duration=0 fqs_holdoff=0 fqs_stutter=3 test_boost=1/0 test_boost_interval=7 test_boost_duration=4

+
+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:
+
+* "rtc": The hexadecimal address of the structure currently visible
+ to readers.
+
+* "ver": The number of times since boot that the RCU writer task
+ has changed the structure visible to readers.
+
+* "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. :-/
+
+* "rta": Number of structures allocated from the torture freelist.
+
+* "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".
+
+* "rtf": Number of frees into the torture freelist.
+
+* "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.
+
+* "rtbe": A non-zero value indicates that one of the rcu_barrier()
+ family of functions is not working correctly.
+
+* "rtbke": rcutorture was unable to create the real-time kthreads
+ used to force RCU priority inversion. This value should be zero.
+
+* "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.
+
+* "rtbf": The number of times that RCU priority boosting failed
+ to resolve RCU priority inversion.
+
+* "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.
+
+* "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.
+
+* "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. ;-)
+
+* "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.
+
+* "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
+additional line::
+
+ srcud-torture: Tree SRCU per-CPU(idx=0): 0(35,-21) 1(-4,24) 2(1,1) 3(-26,20) 4(28,-47) 5(-9,4) 6(-10,14) 7(-14,11) T(1,6)
+
+This line shows the per-CPU counter state, in this case for Tree SRCU
+using a dynamically allocated srcu_struct (hence "srcud-" rather than
+"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 on Specific Kernel Builds
+===============================
+
+It is sometimes desirable to torture RCU on a specific kernel build,
+for example, when preparing to put that kernel build into production.
+In that case, the kernel should be built with CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST=m
+so that the test can be started using modprobe and terminated using rmmod.
+
+For example, 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.
+
+
+Usage on Mainline Kernels
+=========================
+
+When using rcutorture to test changes to RCU itself, it is often
+necessary to build a number of kernels in order to test that change
+across a broad range of combinations of the relevant Kconfig options
+and of the relevant kernel boot parameters. In this situation, use
+of modprobe and rmmod can be quite time-consuming and error-prone.
+
+Therefore, the tools/testing/selftests/rcutorture/bin/kvm.sh
+script is available for mainline testing for x86, arm64, and
+powerpc. By default, it will run the series of tests specified by
+tools/testing/selftests/rcutorture/configs/rcu/CFLIST, with each test
+running for 30 minutes within a guest OS using a minimal userspace
+supplied by an automatically generated initrd. After the tests are
+complete, the resulting build products and console output are analyzed
+for errors and the results of the runs are summarized.
+
+On larger systems, rcutorture testing can be accelerated by passing the
+--cpus argument to kvm.sh. For example, on a 64-CPU system, "--cpus 43"
+would use up to 43 CPUs to run tests concurrently, which as of v5.4 would
+complete all the scenarios in two batches, reducing the time to complete
+from about eight hours to about one hour (not counting the time to build
+the sixteen kernels). The "--dryrun sched" argument will not run tests,
+but rather tell you how the tests would be scheduled into batches. This
+can be useful when working out how many CPUs to specify in the --cpus
+argument.
+
+Not all changes require that all scenarios be run. For example, a change
+to Tree SRCU might run only the SRCU-N and SRCU-P scenarios using the
+--configs argument to kvm.sh as follows: "--configs 'SRCU-N SRCU-P'".
+Large systems can run multiple copies of of the full set of scenarios,
+for example, a system with 448 hardware threads can run five instances
+of the full set concurrently. To make this happen::
+
+ kvm.sh --cpus 448 --configs '5*CFLIST'
+
+Alternatively, such a system can run 56 concurrent instances of a single
+eight-CPU scenario::
+
+ kvm.sh --cpus 448 --configs '56*TREE04'
+
+Or 28 concurrent instances of each of two eight-CPU scenarios::
+
+ kvm.sh --cpus 448 --configs '28*TREE03 28*TREE04'
+
+Of course, each concurrent instance will use memory, which can be
+limited using the --memory argument, which defaults to 512M. Small
+values for memory may require disabling the callback-flooding tests
+using the --bootargs parameter discussed below.
+
+Sometimes additional debugging is useful, and in such cases the --kconfig
+parameter to kvm.sh may be used, for example, ``--kconfig 'CONFIG_KASAN=y'``.
+
+Kernel boot arguments can also be supplied, for example, to control
+rcutorture's module parameters. For example, to test a change to RCU's
+CPU stall-warning code, use "--bootargs 'rcutorture.stall_cpu=30'".
+This will of course result in the scripting reporting a failure, namely
+the resuling RCU CPU stall warning. As noted above, reducing memory may
+require disabling rcutorture's callback-flooding tests::
+
+ kvm.sh --cpus 448 --configs '56*TREE04' --memory 128M \
+ --bootargs 'rcutorture.fwd_progress=0'
+
+Sometimes all that is needed is a full set of kernel builds. This is
+what the --buildonly argument does.
+
+Finally, the --trust-make argument allows each kernel build to reuse what
+it can from the previous kernel build.
+
+There are additional more arcane arguments that are documented in the
+source code of the kvm.sh script.
+
+If a run contains failures, the number of buildtime and runtime failures
+is listed at the end of the kvm.sh output, which you really should redirect
+to a file. The build products and console output of each run is kept in
+tools/testing/selftests/rcutorture/res in timestamped directories. A
+given directory can be supplied to kvm-find-errors.sh in order to have
+it cycle you through summaries of errors and full error logs. For example::
+
+ tools/testing/selftests/rcutorture/bin/kvm-find-errors.sh \
+ tools/testing/selftests/rcutorture/res/2020.01.20-15.54.23
+
+However, it is often more convenient to access the files directly.
+Files pertaining to all scenarios in a run reside in the top-level
+directory (2020.01.20-15.54.23 in the example above), while per-scenario
+files reside in a subdirectory named after the scenario (for example,
+"TREE04"). If a given scenario ran more than once (as in "--configs
+'56*TREE04'" above), the directories corresponding to the second and
+subsequent runs of that scenario include a sequence number, for example,
+"TREE04.2", "TREE04.3", and so on.
+
+The most frequently used file in the top-level directory is testid.txt.
+If the test ran in a git repository, then this file contains the commit
+that was tested and any uncommitted changes in diff format.
+
+The most frequently used files in each per-scenario-run directory are:
+
+.config:
+ This file contains the Kconfig options.
+
+Make.out:
+ This contains build output for a specific scenario.
+
+console.log:
+ This contains the console output for a specific scenario.
+ This file may be examined once the kernel has booted, but
+ it might not exist if the build failed.
+
+vmlinux:
+ This contains the kernel, which can be useful with tools like
+ objdump and gdb.
+
+A number of additional files are available, but are less frequently used.
+Many are intended for debugging of rcutorture itself or of its scripting.
+
+As of v5.4, a successful run with the default set of scenarios produces
+the following summary at the end of the run on a 12-CPU system::
+

+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:
+
+:ref:`1. RCU OVERVIEW <1_whatisRCU>`
+
+:ref:`2. WHAT IS RCU'S CORE API? <2_whatisRCU>`
+
+:ref:`3. WHAT ARE SOME EXAMPLE USES OF CORE RCU API? <3_whatisRCU>`
+
+:ref:`4. WHAT IF MY UPDATING THREAD CANNOT BLOCK? <4_whatisRCU>`
+
+:ref:`5. WHAT ARE SOME SIMPLE IMPLEMENTATIONS OF RCU? <5_whatisRCU>`
+
+:ref:`6. ANALOGY WITH READER-WRITER LOCKING <6_whatisRCU>`
+
+:ref:`7. FULL LIST OF RCU APIs <7_whatisRCU>`
+
+:ref:`8. ANSWERS TO QUICK QUIZZES <8_whatisRCU>`
+
+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_whatisRCU:
+
+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_whatisRCU:
+
+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()
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+ void 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 macro does not
+ evaluate to an rvalue, but it does execute 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 [1]_.
+ 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() [2]_.
+
+.. [1] The variant rcu_dereference_protected() can be used outside
+ of an RCU read-side critical section as long as the usage is
+ protected by locks acquired by the update-side code. This variant
+ avoids the lockdep warning that would happen when using (for
+ example) rcu_dereference() without rcu_read_lock() protection.
+ Using rcu_dereference_protected() also has the advantage
+ of permitting compiler optimizations that rcu_dereference()
+ must prohibit. The rcu_dereference_protected() variant takes
+ a lockdep expression to indicate which locks must be acquired
+ by the caller. If the indicated protection is not provided,
+ a lockdep splat is emitted. See Documentation/RCU/Design/Requirements/Requirements.rst
+ and the API's code comments for more details and example usage.
+
+.. [2] If the list_for_each_entry_rcu() instance might be used by
+ update-side code as well as by RCU readers, then an additional
+ lockdep expression can be added to its list of arguments.
+ For example, given an additional "lock_is_held(&mylock)" argument,
+ the RCU lockdep code would complain only if this instance was
+ invoked outside of an RCU read-side critical section and without
+ the protection of mylock.
+
+The following diagram shows how each API communicates among the
+reader, updater, and reclaimer.
+::
+
+
+ rcu_assign_pointer()

+
+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 at least three flavors of RCU usage in the Linux kernel. The diagram
+above shows the most common one. On the updater side, the rcu_assign_pointer(),
+synchronize_rcu() and call_rcu() primitives used are the same for all three
+flavors. However for protection (on the reader side), the primitives used vary
+depending on the flavor:
+
+a. rcu_read_lock() / rcu_read_unlock()
+ rcu_dereference()
+
+b. rcu_read_lock_bh() / rcu_read_unlock_bh()
+ local_bh_disable() / local_bh_enable()
+ rcu_dereference_bh()
+
+c. rcu_read_lock_sched() / rcu_read_unlock_sched()
+ preempt_disable() / preempt_enable()
+ local_irq_save() / local_irq_restore()
+ hardirq enter / hardirq exit
+ NMI enter / NMI exit
+ rcu_dereference_sched()
+
+These three flavors 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 :ref:`listRCU.rst <list_rcu_doc>`,
+:ref:`arrayRCU.rst <array_rcu_doc>`, and :ref:`NMI-RCU.rst <NMI_rcu_doc>`.
+::
+
+ 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:
+
+- Use rcu_read_lock() and rcu_read_unlock() to guard RCU
+ read-side critical sections.
+
+- Within an RCU read-side critical section, use rcu_dereference()
+ to dereference RCU-protected pointers.
+
+- Use some solid scheme (such as locks or semaphores) to
+ keep concurrent updates from interfering with each other.
+
+- 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.
+
+- 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 :ref:`listRCU.rst
+<list_rcu_doc>`, :ref:`arrayRCU.rst <array_rcu_doc>`, and :ref:`NMI-RCU.rst
+<NMI_rcu_doc>`.
+
+.. _4_whatisRCU:
+
+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():
+
+- 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/rcu/update.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.rst
+
+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.
+

+ 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?
+
+:ref:`Answers to Quick Quiz <8_whatisRCU>`
+
+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.

+ 14 write_unlock(&listmutex); 15 spin_unlock(&listmutex);
+ 15 return 0; 16 return 0;
+ 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().

+
+See the comment headers in the source code (or the docbook generated
+from them) for more information.
+
+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 should disable softirq across your readers,
+ for example, by using rcu_read_lock_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.

+ 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
+ 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???
