2015-01-15rcu: Fix RCU CPU stall detection in tiny implementationMiroslav Benes1-4/+3
The tiny RCU CPU stall detection depends on *rcp->curtail not being NULL. It is however a tail pointer and thus NULL by definition. Instead we should check rcp->rcucblist for the presence of pending callbacks which need to be processed. With this fix INFO about the stall is printed and jiffies_stall (jiffies at next stall) correctly updated. Note that the check for pending callback is necessary to avoid spurious warnings if there are no pendings callbacks.

2015-01-06tiny_rcu: Directly force QS when call_rcu_[bh|sched]() on idle_taskLai Jiangshan1-1/+1
For RCU in UP, context-switch = QS = GP, thus we can force a context-switch when any call_rcu_[bh|sched]() is happened on idle_task. After doing so, rcu_idle/irq_enter/exit() are useless, so we can simply make these functions empty. More important, this change does not change the functionality logically. Note: raise_softirq(RCU_SOFTIRQ)/rcu_sched_qs() in rcu_idle_enter() and outmost rcu_irq_exit() will have to wake up the ksoftirqd (due to in_interrupt() == 0). Before this patch After this patch: call_rcu_sched() in idle; call_rcu_sched() in idle set resched do other stuffs; do other stuffs outmost rcu_irq_exit() outmost rcu_irq_exit() (empty function) (or rcu_idle_enter()) (or rcu_idle_enter(), also empty function) start to resched. (see above) rcu_sched_qs() rcu_sched_qs() QS,and GP and advance cb QS,and GP and advance cb wake up the ksoftirqd wake up the ksoftirqd set resched resched to ksoftirqd (or other) resched to ksoftirqd (or other) These two code patches are almost the same.

2014-04-29rcu: Protect uses of ->jiffies_stall with ACCESS_ONCE()Himangi Saraogi1-4/+4
Some of the accesses to the rcu_state structure's ->jiffies_stall field are unprotected. This patch protects them with ACCESS_ONCE(). The following coccinelle script was used to acheive this: /* coccinelle script to protect uses of ->jiffies_stall with ACCESS_ONCE() */ @@ identifier a; @@ ( ACCESS_ONCE(a->jiffies_stall) | - a->jiffies_stall + ACCESS_ONCE(a->jiffies_stall) ) Signed-off-by: Himangi Saraogi <himangi774@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2014-02-17rcu: Stop tracking FSF's postal addressPaul E. McKenney1-2/+2
All of the RCU source files have the usual GPL header, which contains a long-obsolete postal address for FSF. To avoid the need to track the FSF office's movements, this commit substitutes the URL where GPL may be found.
