[PATCH rcu 10/11] srcu: Add FORCE_NEED_SRCU_NMI_SAFE Kconfig for testing
From: Boqun Feng
Date: Wed Feb 19 2025 - 10:44:32 EST
From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@xxxxxxxxxx>
The srcu_read_lock_nmisafe() and srcu_read_unlock_nmisafe() functions
map to __srcu_read_lock() and __srcu_read_unlock() on systems like x86
that have NMI-safe this_cpu_inc() operations. This makes the underlying
__srcu_read_lock_nmisafe() and __srcu_read_unlock_nmisafe() functions
difficult to test on (for example) x86 systems, allowing bugs to creep in.
This commit therefore creates a FORCE_NEED_SRCU_NMI_SAFE Kconfig that
forces those underlying functions to be used even on systems where they
are not needed, thus providing better testing coverage.
