[PATCH rcu 7/9] srcu: Remove needless rcu_seq_done() check while holding read lock

From: Paul E. McKenney
Date: Wed Jan 04 2023 - 19:34:33 EST


From: Pingfan Liu <kernelfans@xxxxxxxxx>

The srcu_gp_start_if_needed() function now read-holds the srcu_struct
whose grace period is being started, which means that the corresponding
SRCU grace period cannot end. This in turn means that the SRCU
grace-period sequence number returned by rcu_seq_snap() cannot expire
during this time. And that means that the calls to rcu_seq_done() in
srcu_funnel_exp_start() and srcu_funnel_gp_start() can never return true.

This commit therefore removes these rcu_seq_done() checks, but adds checks
in kernels built with CONFIG_PROVE_RCU=y that splats if rcu_seq_done()
does somehow return true.

[ paulmck: Rearrange checks to handle kernels built with lockdep. ]
