The rcu_sync infrastructure can be thought of as infrastructure to be
used to implement reader-writer primitives having extremely lightweight
readers during times when there are no writers. The first use is in
the percpu_rwsem used by the VFS subsystem.
This infrastructure is functionally equivalent to
struct rcu_sync_struct {
atomic_t counter;
};
/* Check possibility of fast-path read-side operations. */
static inline bool rcu_sync_is_idle(struct rcu_sync_struct *rss)
{
return atomic_read(&rss->counter) == 0;
}
/* Tell readers to use slowpaths. */
static inline void rcu_sync_enter(struct rcu_sync_struct *rss)
{
atomic_inc(&rss->counter);
synchronize_sched();
}
/* Allow readers to once again use fastpaths. */
static inline void rcu_sync_exit(struct rcu_sync_struct *rss)
{
synchronize_sched();
atomic_dec(&rss->counter);
}
The main difference is that it records the state and only calls
synchronize_sched() if required. At least some of the calls to
synchronize_sched() will be optimized away when rcu_sync_enter() and
rcu_sync_exit() are invoked repeatedly in quick succession.
