840 * When synchronize_rcu() is invoked on one CPU while other CPUs

842 * synchronize_rcu() is guaranteed to block until after all the other

844 * on one CPU while other CPUs are within RCU read-side critical
845 * sections, invocation of the corresponding RCU callback is deferred
846 * until after the all the other CPUs exit their critical sections.
848 * Note, however, that RCU callbacks are permitted to run concurrently
849 * with new RCU read-side critical sections. One way that this can happen
850 * is via the following sequence of events: (1) CPU 0 enters an RCU
851 * read-side critical section, (2) CPU 1 invokes call_rcu() to register
852 * an RCU callback, (3) CPU 0 exits the RCU read-side critical section,
853 * (4) CPU 2 enters a RCU read-side critical section, (5) the RCU
854 * callback is invoked. This is legal, because the RCU read-side critical
855 * section that was running concurrently with the call_rcu() (and which
856 * therefore might be referencing something that the corresponding RCU
857 * callback would free up) has completed before the corresponding
858 * RCU callback is invoked.

861 * will be deferred until the outermost RCU read-side critical section
864 * You can avoid reading and understanding the next paragraph by
865 * following this rule: don't put anything in an rcu_read_lock() RCU
866 * read-side critical section that would block in a !PREEMPT kernel.
867 * But if you want the full story, read on!
869 * In non-preemptible RCU implementations (TREE_RCU and TINY_RCU),
870 * it is illegal to block while in an RCU read-side critical section.
871 * In preemptible RCU implementations (PREEMPT_RCU) in CONFIG_PREEMPT
872 * kernel builds, RCU read-side critical sections may be preempted,
873 * but explicit blocking is illegal. Finally, in preemptible RCU
874 * implementations in real-time (with -rt patchset) kernel builds, RCU
875 * read-side critical sections may be preempted and they may also block, but
876 * only when acquiring spinlocks that are subject to priority inheritance.

888 * So where is rcu_write_lock()? It does not exist, as there is no
889 * way for writers to lock out RCU readers. This is a feature, not
890 * a bug -- this property is what provides RCU's performance benefits.
891 * Of course, writers must coordinate with each other. The normal
892 * spinlock primitives work well for this, but any other technique may be

894 * others' way, as long as they do so.
898 * rcu_read_unlock() - marks the end of an RCU read-side critical section.
900 * In most situations, rcu_read_unlock() is immune from deadlock.
901 * However, in kernels built with CONFIG_RCU_BOOST, rcu_read_unlock()
902 * is responsible for deboosting, which it does via rt_mutex_unlock().
903 * Unfortunately, this function acquires the scheduler's runqueue and
904 * priority-inheritance spinlocks. This means that deadlock could result
905 * if the caller of rcu_read_unlock() already holds one of these locks or
906 * any lock that is ever acquired while holding them; or any lock which
907 * can be taken from interrupt context because rcu_boost()->rt_mutex_lock()
908 * does not disable irqs while taking ->wait_lock.
910 * That said, RCU readers are never priority boosted unless they were
911 * preempted. Therefore, one way to avoid deadlock is to make sure
912 * that preemption never happens within any RCU read-side critical
913 * section whose outermost rcu_read_unlock() is called with one of
914 * rt_mutex_unlock()'s locks held. Such preemption can be avoided in
915 * a number of ways, for example, by invoking preempt_disable() before
916 * critical section's outermost rcu_read_lock().
918 * Given that the set of locks acquired by rt_mutex_unlock() might change
919 * at any time, a somewhat more future-proofed approach is to make sure
920 * that that preemption never happens within any RCU read-side critical
921 * section whose outermost rcu_read_unlock() is called with irqs disabled.
922 * This approach relies on the fact that rt_mutex_unlock() currently only
923 * acquires irq-disabled locks.
925 * The second of these two approaches is best in most situations,
926 * however, the first approach can also be useful, at least to those
927 * developers willing to keep abreast of the set of locks acquired by
930 * See rcu_read_lock() for more information.
