Subject: [PATCH] rcu: Merge rcu_seq_done_exact() logic into rcu_seq_done()
Date: Mon, 27 Jan 2025 19:07:36 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250128000737.1264218-1-joel@joelfernandes.org> (raw)

The rcu_seq_done() API has a large "false-negative" windows of size
ULONG_MAX/2, where after wrap around, it is possible that it will think
that a GP has not completed if a wrap around happens and the delta is
large.

rcu_seq_done_exact() is more accurate avoiding this wrap around issue,
by making the window of false-negativity by only 3 GPs. Use this logic
for rcu_seq_done() which is a nice negative code delta and could
potentially avoid issues in the future where rcu_seq_done() was
reporting false-negatives for too long.

rcutorture runs of all scenarios for 15 minutes passed. Code inspection
was done of all users to convince the change would work.
