Subject: rcu: New rcu_user_enter_after_irq() and rcu_user_exit_after_irq() APIs
X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=19dd1591fc379f1d89f39cd99cbbe97433baa3c3;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

rcu: New rcu_user_enter_after_irq() and rcu_user_exit_after_irq() APIs

In some cases, it is necessary to enter or exit userspace-RCU-idle mode
from an interrupt handler, for example, if some other CPU sends this
CPU a resched IPI.  In this case, the current CPU would enter the IPI
handler in userspace-RCU-idle mode, but would need to exit the IPI handler
after having exited that mode.

To allow this to work, this commit adds two new APIs to TREE_RCU:

- rcu_user_enter_after_irq(). This must be called from an interrupt between
rcu_irq_enter() and rcu_irq_exit().  After the irq calls rcu_irq_exit(),
the irq handler will return into an RCU extended quiescent state.
In theory, this interrupt is never a nested interrupt, but in practice
it might interrupt softirq, which looks to RCU like a nested interrupt.

- rcu_user_exit_after_irq(). This must be called from a non-nesting
interrupt, interrupting an RCU extended quiescent state, also
between rcu_irq_enter() and rcu_irq_exit(). After the irq calls
rcu_irq_exit(), the irq handler will return in an RCU non-quiescent
state.

[ Combined with "Allow calls to rcu_exit_user_irq from nesting irqs." ]
