From: Paul E. McKenney
Date: Mon Apr 18 2022 - 20:03:20 EST


Hello!

This series contains SRCU updates, primarily reducing the srcu_struct
structure's infamous memory footprint.

1. Tighten cleanup_srcu_struct() GP checks.

2. Fix s/is/if/ typo in srcu_node comment.

3. Make srcu_funnel_gp_start() cache ->mynode in snp_leaf.

4. Make Tree SRCU able to operate without snp_node array.

5. Dynamically allocate srcu_node array.

6. Add size-state transitioning code.

7. Make rcutorture dump the SRCU size state.

8. Compute snp_seq earlier in srcu_funnel_gp_start().

9. Use invalid initial value for srcu_node GP sequence numbers.

10. Ensure snp nodes tree is fully initialized before traversal,

11. Add boot-time control over srcu_node array allocation.

12. Use export for srcu_struct defined by DEFINE_STATIC_SRCU(),
courtesy of Alexander Aring.

13. Avoid NULL dereference in srcu_torture_stats_print().

14. Prevent cleanup_srcu_struct() from freeing non-dynamic ->sda.

15. Explain srcu_funnel_gp_start() call to list_add() is safe.

16. Create concurrency-safe helper for initiating size transition.

17. Add contention-triggered addition of srcu_node tree.

18. Automatically determine size-transition strategy at boot.

19. Add contention check to call_srcu() srcu_data ->lock acquisition.

20. Prevent expedited GPs and blocking readers from consuming CPU.

21. Drop needless initialization of sdp in srcu_gp_start(), courtesy
of Lukas Bulwahn.

Thanx, Paul
