This commit defers reporting of RCU-preempt quiescent states at rcu_read_unlock_special() time when any of interrupts, softirq, or preemption are disabled. These deferred quiescent states are reported at a later RCU_SOFTIRQ, context switch, idle entry, or CPU-hotplug offline operation. Of course, if another RCU read-side critical section has started in the meantime, the reporting of the quiescent state will be further deferred. This also means that disabling preemption, interrupts, and/or softirqs will act as an RCU-preempt read-side critical section. This is enforced by checking preempt_count() as needed. Some special cases must be handled on an ad-hoc basis, for example, context switch is a quiescent state even though both the scheduler and do_exit() disable preemption. In these cases, additional calls to rcu_preempt_deferred_qs() override the preemption disabling. Similar logic overrides disabled interrupts in rcu_preempt_check_callbacks() because in this case the quiescent state happened just before the corresponding scheduling-clock interrupt. In theory, this change lifts a long-standing restriction that required that if interrupts were disabled across a call to rcu_read_unlock() that the matching rcu_read_lock() also be contained within that interrupts-disabled region of code. Because the reporting of the corresponding RCU-preempt quiescent state is now deferred until after interrupts have been enabled, it is no longer possible for this situation to result in deadlocks involving the scheduler's runqueue and priority-inheritance locks. This may allow some code simplification that might reduce interrupt latency a bit. Unfortunately, in practice this would also defer deboosting a low-priority task that had been subjected to RCU priority boosting, so real-time-response considerations might well force this restriction to remain in place. Because RCU-preempt grace periods are now blocked not only by RCU read-side critical sections, but also by disabling of interrupts, preemption, and softirqs, it will be possible to eliminate RCU-bh and RCU-sched in favor of RCU-preempt in CONFIG_PREEMPT=y kernels. This may require some additional plumbing to provide the network denial-of-service guarantees that have been traditionally provided by RCU-bh. Once these are in place, CONFIG_PREEMPT=n kernels will be able to fold RCU-bh into RCU-sched. This would mean that all kernels would have but one flavor of RCU, which would open the door to significant code cleanup. Moving to a single flavor of RCU would also have the beneficial effect of reducing the NOCB kthreads by at least a factor of two. Signed-off-by: Paul E.
