Subject: [PATCH 00/13] srcu: Round out atomic SRCU support
Date: Mon, 7 Sep 2026 15:58:16 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260907075829.2073224-1-kunwu.chan@linux.dev> (raw)
From: Kunwu Chan <kunwu.chan@gmail.com>
This series rounds out atomic SRCU support with a reader-free fastpath,
some atomic-context fixes, and additional test coverage.
The core change is a reader-free fastpath for synchronize_srcu_atomic().
Atomic SRCU's read-side critical sections disable preemption, so when
the summed lock and unlock counts match for both ranks,
synchronize_srcu_atomic() can end the grace period immediately, without
the index flip or the srcu_advance_state() scans. Correctness depends
on the grace-period anchor written by srcu_gp_start() preceding the
lock-count scan; two LKMM litmus tests (patches 1-2) verify that
ordering.
The series is:
1-2 LKMM litmus tests for the reader-free fastpath ordering.
3 srcutree: add the reader-free fastpath.
4 rcutorture: add --do-atomic-srcu to torture.sh.
5-7 srcutree: honor and propagate is_atomic so atomic SRCU never
transitions to big.
8 srcutree: forbid srcu_expedite_current() on atomic SRCU.
9 rcutorture: disable srcu_expedite_current() for atomic SRCU.
10 srcutree: skip callback scheduling for atomic SRCU grace periods.
11 srcutree: drop the srcu_barrier() sleep for atomic SRCU.
12 srcutree: remove leftover debug pr_alert()s.
13 srcu: restrict the non_block annotation to task context, fixing a
KCSAN data race.
The KCSAN race in patch 13 is a data race on the interrupted task's
->non_block_count when a timer callback runs atomic-SRCU readers in
inline softirq context.
Tested with herd7 7.58 (litmus tests), torture.sh --do-atomic-srcu, and
torture.sh --do-atomic-srcu --do-kcsan (KCSAN+PROVE_LOCKING).
