Subject: [PATCH 12/28] hazptr: Remove per-waiter scan fallback, simplify synchronize
Date: Thu,  5 Nov 2026 00:54:30 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261104165504.2430480-13-kunwu.chan@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261104165504.2430480-1-kunwu.chan@gmail.com>

With try_acquire, per-CPU slots publish their target address
directly (no wildcard transient), so a single Bloom-walk pass
suffices.  Drop the per-waiter exact-match fallback that
busy-waited on remote slots; waiters whose address is in the
Bloom filter wait for the next scan cycle.

Extend hazptr_scan_walk() with an optional @watch parameter for
exact-match lookups (used by the upcoming stall detector).
