Subject: [PATCH rcu 14/25] rcu: Set rcu_data structures' initial ->gpwrap value to true
Date: Wed, 31 Aug 2022 11:11:59 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220831181210.2695080-14-paulmck@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220831181207.GA2694717@paulmck-ThinkPad-P17-Gen-1>
It would be good do reduce the size of the rcu_gp_oldstate structure
from three unsigned long instances to two, but this requires that the
boot-time optimized grace periods update the various ->gp_seq fields.
Updating these fields in the rcu_state structure and in all of the
rcu_node structures is at least semi-reasonable, but updating them in
all of the rcu_data structures is a bridge too far. This means that if
there are too many early boot-time grace periods, the ->gp_seq field in
the rcu_data structure cannot be trusted. This commit therefore sets
each rcu_data structure's ->gpwrap field to provide the necessary impetus
for a suitable level of distrust.
