[PATCH rcu 2/3] srcu: Check for srcu_read_lock_lite() across all CPUs

From: Paul E. McKenney
Date: Mon Nov 11 2024 - 20:34:37 EST


If srcu_read_lock_lite() is used on a given srcu_struct structure, then
the grace-period processing must to synchronize_rcu() instead of smp_mb()
between the scans of the ->srcu_unlock_count[] and ->srcu_lock_count[]
counters. Currently, it does that by testing the SRCU_READ_FLAVOR_LITE
bit of the ->srcu_reader_flavor mask, which works well. But only if
the CPU running that srcu_struct structure's grace period has previously
executed srcu_read_lock_lite(), which might not be the case, especially
just after that srcu_struct structure has been created and initialized.

This commit therefore updates the srcu_readers_unlock_idx() function
to OR together the ->srcu_reader_flavor masks from all CPUs, and
then make the srcu_readers_active_idx_check() function that test the
SRCU_READ_FLAVOR_LITE bit in the resulting mask.

Note that the srcu_readers_unlock_idx() function is already scanning all
the CPUs to sum up the ->srcu_unlock_count[] fields and that this is on
the grace-period slow path, hence no concerns about the small amount of
extra work.
