rcu classic: new algorithm for callbacks-processing(v2)
This is v2, it's a little deference from v1 that I had send to lkml. use ACCESS_ONCE use rcu_batch_after/rcu_batch_before for batch # comparison. rcutorture test result: (hotplugs: do cpu-online/offline once per second) No CONFIG_NO_HZ: OK, 12hours No CONFIG_NO_HZ, hotplugs: OK, 12hours CONFIG_NO_HZ=y: OK, 24hours CONFIG_NO_HZ=y, hotplugs: Failed. (Failed also without my patch applied, exactly the same bug occurred, http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/7/3/24) v1's email thread: http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/6/2/539 v1's description: The code/algorithm of the implement of current callbacks-processing is very efficient and technical. But when I studied it and I found a disadvantage: In multi-CPU systems, when a new RCU callback is being queued(call_rcu[_bh]), this callback will be invoked after the grace period for the batch with batch number = rcp->cur+2 has completed very very likely in current implement. Actually, this callback can be invoked after the grace period for the batch with batch number = rcp->cur+1 has completed. The delay of invocation means that latency of synchronize_rcu() is extended. But more important thing is that the callbacks usually free memory, and these works are delayed too! it's necessary for reclaimer to free memory as soon as possible when left memory is few. A very simple way can solve this problem: a field(struct rcu_head::batch) is added to record the batch number for the RCU callback. And when a new RCU callback is being queued, we determine the batch number for this callback(head->batch = rcp->cur+1) and we move this callback to rdp->donelist if we find that head->batch <= rcp->completed when we process callbacks. This simple way reduces the wait time for invocation a lot. (about 2.5Grace Period -> 1.5Grace Period in average in multi-CPU systems) This is my algorithm. But I do not add any field for struct rcu_head in my implement. We just need to memorize the last 2 batches and their batch number, because these 2 batches include all entries that for whom the grace period hasn't completed. So we use a special linked-list rather than add a field. Please see the comment of struct rcu_data. Signed-off-by: Lai Jiangshan <laijs@cn.fujitsu.com> Cc: "Paul E.
