rcu: Don't include in rcutiny.h

2019-08-26T23:27:01Z

The kbuild reported a built failure due to a header loop when RCUTINY is enabled with my pending riscv-nommu port. Switch rcutiny.h to only include the minimal required header to get HZ instead. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney

rcu: Remove unused rcu_dynticks_snap() from Tiny RCU

2018-08-30T23:03:46Z

The rcu_dynticks_snap() function is defined in include/linux/rcutiny.h, but is no longer used by Tiny RCU. This commit therefore removes it. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney

rcu: Consolidate RCU-sched update-side function definitions

2018-08-30T23:03:26Z

This commit saves a few lines by consolidating the RCU-sched function definitions at the end of include/linux/rcupdate.h. This consolidation also makes it easier to remove them all when the time comes. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney

rcu: Express Tiny RCU updates in terms of RCU rather than RCU-sched

2018-08-30T23:02:46Z

This commit renames Tiny RCU functions so that the lowest level of functionality is RCU (e.g., synchronize_rcu()) rather than RCU-sched (e.g., synchronize_sched()). This provides greater naming compatibility with Tree RCU, which will in turn permit more LoC removal once the RCU-sched and RCU-bh update-side API is removed. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

rcu: Define RCU-sched API in terms of RCU for Tree RCU PREEMPT builds

2018-08-30T23:02:45Z

Now that RCU-preempt knows about preemption disabling, its implementation of synchronize_rcu() works for synchronize_sched(), and likewise for the other RCU-sched update-side API members. This commit therefore confines the RCU-sched update-side code to CONFIG_PREEMPT=n builds, and defines RCU-sched's update-side API members in terms of those of RCU-preempt. This means that any given build of the Linux kernel has only one update-side flavor of RCU, namely RCU-preempt for CONFIG_PREEMPT=y builds and RCU-sched for CONFIG_PREEMPT=n builds. This in turn means that kernels built with CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU=y have only one rcuo kthread per CPU. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney Cc: Andi Kleen

rcu: Define RCU-bh update API in terms of RCU

2018-08-30T23:02:40Z

Now that the main RCU API knows about softirq disabling and softirq's quiescent states, the RCU-bh update code can be dispensed with. This commit therefore removes the RCU-bh update-side implementation and defines RCU-bh's update-side API in terms of that of either RCU-preempt or RCU-sched, depending on the setting of the CONFIG_PREEMPT Kconfig option. In kernels built with CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU=y this has the knock-on effect of reducing by one the number of rcuo kthreads per CPU. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney

rcu: Apply RCU-bh QSes to RCU-sched and RCU-preempt when safe

2018-08-30T23:02:38Z

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