Subject: [PATCH 02/19] srcutree: Suppress srcu_advance_state() mutex_lock in atomic
Date: Fri, 18 Sep 2026 17:35:04 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260919003521.3134552-2-paulmck@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <13d6be93-8d9d-47a2-beb0-99c8a90938d4@paulmck-laptop>

The new SRCU_READ_FLAVOR_ATOMIC prohibits sleeping in both readers and
grace-period waits in order to permit waiting on an SRCU grace period
within an OOM notifier.  This means that srcu_advance_state() cannot
acquire ->srcu_gp_mutex in this case, because mutex_lock() can sleep.

This commit therefore adds an is_atomic parameter to srcu_advance_state().
When this parameter is false, current behavior is maintained, in other
words, ->srcu_gp_mutex is acquired and released as before.  But when this
is_atomic parameter is false, the caller is responsible for excluding
other callers.
