[PATCH RFC 5/5] doc: rcu: Encourage use of rcu_barrier in checklist

From: Joel Fernandes (Google)
Date: Fri Oct 05 2018 - 19:18:49 EST


The checklist suggests rcu_barrier_bh for RCU-bh and similarly for
sched, however these APIs are now implemented as rcu_barrier itself due
to the RCU consolidation. It may also be removed in the future, so lets
correct the doc to encourage use of the rcu_barrier() API itself.
Similar changes are made in previous patches.

You instead need to use one of the barrier functions:

o call_rcu() -> rcu_barrier()
- o call_rcu_bh() -> rcu_barrier_bh()
- o call_rcu_sched() -> rcu_barrier_sched()
+ o call_rcu_bh() -> rcu_barrier()
+ o call_rcu_sched() -> rcu_barrier()
o call_srcu() -> srcu_barrier()

However, these barrier functions are absolutely -not- guaranteed
