Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 1/4] mce: Stop using array-index-based RCU primitives
Date: Tue, 12 May 2015 14:18:41 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1431465524-32246-1-git-send-email-paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20150512211814.GA31939@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
Because mce is arch-specific x86 code, there is little or no
performance benefit of using rcu_dereference_index_check() over using
smp_load_acquire(). It also turns out that mce is the only place that
array-index-based RCU is used, and it would be convenient to drop
this portion of the RCU API.
This patch therefore changes rcu_dereference_index_check() uses to
smp_load_acquire(), but keeping the lockdep diagnostics, and also
changes rcu_access_index() uses to READ_ONCE().
