rcu: Fix accelerated GPs for last non-dynticked CPU

2010-02-27T08:53:53Z

This patch disables irqs across the call to rcu_needs_cpu(). It also enforces a hold-off period so that the idle loop doesn't softirq itself to death when there are lots of RCU callbacks in flight on the last non-dynticked CPU. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

rcu: Fix accelerated grace periods for last non-dynticked CPU

2010-02-27T08:53:52Z

It is invalid to invoke __rcu_process_callbacks() with irqs disabled, so do it indirectly via raise_softirq(). This requires a state-machine implementation to cycle through the grace-period machinery the required number of times. Located-by: Ingo Molnar Signed-off-by: Paul E.

rcu: Add RCU_CPU_STALL_VERBOSE to dump detailed per-task information

2010-02-25T09:35:02Z

When RCU detects a grace-period stall, it currently just prints out the PID of any tasks doing the stalling. This patch adds RCU_CPU_STALL_VERBOSE, which enables the more-verbose reporting from sched_show_task(). Suggested-by: Thomas Gleixner Signed-off-by: Paul E.

rcu: Fix deadlock in TREE_PREEMPT_RCU CPU stall detection

2010-02-25T09:34:59Z

Under TREE_PREEMPT_RCU, print_other_cpu_stall() invokes rcu_print_task_stall() with the root rcu_node structure's ->lock held, and rcu_print_task_stall() acquires that same lock for self-deadlock. Fix this by removing the lock acquisition from rcu_print_task_stall(), and making all callers acquire the lock instead.

rcu: Accelerate grace period if last non-dynticked CPU

2010-02-25T09:34:55Z

Currently, rcu_needs_cpu() simply checks whether the current CPU has an outstanding RCU callback, which means that the last CPU to go into dyntick-idle mode might wait a few ticks for the relevant grace periods to complete. However, if all the other CPUs are in dyntick-idle mode, and if this CPU is in a quiescent state (which it is for RCU-bh and RCU-sched any time that we are considering going into dyntick-idle mode), then the grace period is instantly complete. This patch therefore repeatedly invokes the RCU grace-period machinery in order to force any needed grace periods to complete quickly. It does so a limited number of times in order to prevent starvation by an RCU callback function that might pass itself to call_rcu(). However, if any CPU other than the current one is not in dyntick-idle mode, fall back to simply checking (with fix to bug noted by Lai Jiangshan). Also, take advantage of last grace-period forcing, the opportunity to do so noted by Steve Rostedt. And apply simplified #ifdef condition suggested by Frederic Weisbecker. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

rcu: Add debug check for too many rcu_read_unlock()

2010-01-13T08:06:06Z

TREE_PREEMPT_RCU maintains an rcu_read_lock_nesting counter in the task structure, which happens to be a signed int. So this patch adds a check for this counter being negative at the end of __rcu_read_unlock(). This check is under CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING, so can be thought of as being part of lockdep.

Add force_quiescent_state() testing to rcutorture, with a separate thread that repeatedly invokes force_quiescent_state() in bursts.

rcu: Add expedited grace-period support for preemptible RCU

2009-12-03T10:35:25Z

Implement an synchronize_rcu_expedited() for preemptible RCU that actually is expedited. This uses synchronize_sched_expedited() to force all threads currently running in a preemptible-RCU read-side critical section onto the appropriate ->blocked_tasks[] list, then takes a snapshot of all of these lists and waits for them to drain.
