rcu: add call_rcu_sched() Fourth cut of patch to provide the call_rcu_sched(). This is again to synchronize_sched() as call_rcu() is to synchronize_rcu(). Should be fine for experimental and -rt use, but not ready for inclusion. With some luck, I will be able to tell Andrew to come out of hiding on the next round. Passes multi-day rcutorture sessions with concurrent CPU hotplugging. Fixes since the first version include a bug that could result in indefinite blocking (spotted by Gautham Shenoy), better resiliency against CPU-hotplug operations, and other minor fixes. Fixes since the second version include reworking grace-period detection to avoid deadlocks that could happen when running concurrently with CPU hotplug, adding Mathieu's fix to avoid the softlockup messages, as well as Mathieu's fix to allow use earlier in boot. Fixes since the third version include a wrong-CPU bug spotted by Andrew, getting rid of the obsolete synchronize_kernel API that somehow snuck back in, merging spin_unlock() and local_irq_restore() in a few places, commenting the code that checks for quiescent states based on interrupting from user-mode execution or the idle loop, removing some inline attributes, and some code-style changes. Known/suspected shortcomings: o I still do not entirely trust the sleep/wakeup logic. Next step will be to use a private snapshot of the CPU online mask in rcu_sched_grace_period() -- if the CPU wasn't there at the start of the grace period, we don't need to hear from it. And the bit about accounting for changes in online CPUs inside of rcu_sched_grace_period() is ugly anyway. o It might be good for rcu_sched_grace_period() to invoke resched_cpu() when a given CPU wasn't responding quickly, but resched_cpu() is declared static... This patch also fixes a long-standing bug in the earlier preemptable-RCU implementation of synchronize_rcu() that could result in loss of concurrent external changes to a task's CPU affinity mask.

[PATCH] files: fix rcu initializers First of a number of files_lock scaability patches. Here are the x86 numbers - tiobench on a 4(8)-way (HT) P4 system on ramdisk : (lockfree) Test 2.6.10-vanilla Stdev 2.6.10-fd Stdev ------------------------------------------------------------- Seqread 1400.8 11.52 1465.4 34.27 Randread 1594 8.86 2397.2 29.21 Seqwrite 242.72 3.47 238.46 6.53 Randwrite 445.74 9.15 446.4 9.75 The performance improvement is very significant. We are getting killed by the cacheline bouncing of the files_struct lock here. Writes on ramdisk (ext2) seems to vary just too much to get any meaningful number. Also, With Tridge's thread_perf test on a 4(8)-way (HT) P4 xeon system : 2.6.12-rc5-vanilla : Running test 'readwrite' with 8 tasks Threads 0.34 +/- 0.01 seconds Processes 0.16 +/- 0.00 seconds 2.6.12-rc5-fd : Running test 'readwrite' with 8 tasks Threads 0.17 +/- 0.02 seconds Processes 0.17 +/- 0.02 seconds I repeated the measurements on ramfs (as opposed to ext2 on ramdisk in the earlier measurement) and I got more consistent results from tiobench : 4(8) way xeon P4 ----------------- (lock-free) Test 2.6.12-rc5 Stdev 2.6.12-rc5-fd Stdev ------------------------------------------------------------- Seqread 1282 18.59 1343.6 26.37 Randread 1517 7 2415 34.27 Seqwrite 702.2 5.27 709.46 5.9 Randwrite 846.86 15.15 919.68 21.4 4-way ppc64 ------------ (lock-free) Test 2.6.12-rc5 Stdev 2.6.12-rc5-fd Stdev ------------------------------------------------------------- Seqread 1549 91.16 1569.6 47.2 Randread 1473.6 25.11 1585.4 69.99 Seqwrite 1096.8 20.03 1136 29.61 Randwrite 1189.6 4.04 1275.2 32.96 Also running Tridge's thread_perf test on ppc64 : 2.6.12-rc5-vanilla -------------------- Running test 'readwrite' with 4 tasks Threads 0.20 +/- 0.02 seconds Processes 0.16 +/- 0.01 seconds 2.6.12-rc5-fd -------------------- Running test 'readwrite' with 4 tasks Threads 0.18 +/- 0.04 seconds Processes 0.16 +/- 0.01 seconds The benefits are huge (upto ~60%) in some cases on x86 primarily due to the atomic operations during acquisition of ->file_lock and cache line bouncing in fast path. ppc64 benefits are modest due to LL/SC based locking, but still statistically significant. This patch: RCU head initilizer no longer needs the head varible name since we don't use list.h lists anymore.

* rcu_read_lock - mark the beginning of an RCU read-side critical section.
*
* When synchronize_rcu() is invoked on one CPU while other CPUs
* are within RCU read-side critical sections, then the
* synchronize_rcu() is guaranteed to block until after all the other
* CPUs exit their critical sections. Similarly, if call_rcu() is invoked
* on one CPU while other CPUs are within RCU read-side critical
* sections, invocation of the corresponding RCU callback is deferred
* until after the all the other CPUs exit their critical sections.
*
* Note, however, that RCU callbacks are permitted to run concurrently
* with RCU read-side critical sections. One way that this can happen
* is via the following sequence of events: (1) CPU 0 enters an RCU
* read-side critical section, (2) CPU 1 invokes call_rcu() to register
* an RCU callback, (3) CPU 0 exits the RCU read-side critical section,
* (4) CPU 2 enters a RCU read-side critical section, (5) the RCU
* callback is invoked. This is legal, because the RCU read-side critical
* section that was running concurrently with the call_rcu() (and which
* therefore might be referencing something that the corresponding RCU
* callback would free up) has completed before the corresponding
* RCU callback is invoked.
*
* RCU read-side critical sections may be nested. Any deferred actions
* will be deferred until the outermost RCU read-side critical section
* completes.
*
* It is illegal to block while in an RCU read-side critical section.
