[PATCH rcu 07/17] srcu: Force synchronization for srcu_get_delay()

From: Paul E. McKenney
Date: Thu Jan 16 2025 - 15:23:05 EST


Currently, srcu_get_delay() can be called concurrently, for example,
by a CPU that is the first to request a new grace period and the CPU
processing the current grace period. Although concurrent access is
harmless, it unnecessarily expands the state space. Additionally,
all calls to srcu_get_delay() are from slow paths.

This commit therefore protects all calls to srcu_get_delay() with
ssp->srcu_sup->lock, which is already held on the invocation from the
srcu_funnel_gp_start() function. While in the area, this commit also
adds a lockdep_assert_held() to srcu_get_delay() itself.
