[PATCH 04/11] rcu/nocb: Introduce nocb mutex

From: Frederic Weisbecker
Date: Thu May 30 2024 - 09:47:16 EST


The barrier_mutex is used currently to protect (de-)offloading
operations and prevent from nocb_lock locking imbalance in rcu_barrier()
and shrinker, and also from misordered RCU barrier invocation.

Now since RCU (de-)offloading is going to happen on offline CPUs, an RCU
barrier will have to be executed while transitionning from offloaded to
de-offloaded state. And this can't happen while holding the
barrier_mutex.

Introduce a NOCB mutex to protect (de-)offloading transitions. The
barrier_mutex is still held for now when necessary to avoid barrier
callbacks reordering and nocb_lock imbalance.
