[PATCH tip/core/rcu 0/3] rcu: prevent hangs by simplifying rcu_barrier/CPU-hotplug, fix lockdep complaint

[Paul E. McKenney]

This patchset fixes a couple of issues with TREE_PREEMPT_RCU:

1.	The current implementation of rcu_barrier() waits for any
	prior CPU-hotplug operation to complete.  This code path has
	resulted in some hangs, so first move this code from rcupdate.c
	to rcutree.c and then use a simpler algorithm that avoids the
	waiting, eliminating the possibility of such hangs.

2.	The lockdep facility complains from time to time due to the
	fact that certain combinations of CPU-hotplug operations can
	cause the TREE_PREEMPT_RCU code to acquire the root rcu_node
	structure's lock while holding a leaf rcu_node structure's
	lock.  This patch places the root rcu_node structure's lock
	into its own lockdep class to prevent this false positive.

Ingo, please rewind tip/core/rcu to commit #135c8aea before applying this
series, as these patches really need to go into 2.6.32.  Reworked and
retested rcutiny (for 2.6.33, as Linus requested) will follow in a
few days.  Or more patches for more bug fixes, as the case may be.  ;-)

[PATCH tip/core/rcu 2/3] rcu: make hot-unplugged CPU relinquish its own RCU callbacks

[Paul E. McKenney]

From: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

The current interaction between RCU and CPU hotplug requires that
RCU block in CPU notifiers waiting for callbacks to drain.  This can
be greatly simplified by haing each CPU relinquish its own callbacks,
and for both _rcu_barrier() and CPU_DEAD notifiers to adopt all callbacks
that were previously relinquished.  This change also eliminates the
possibility of certain types of hangs due to the previous practice of
waiting for callbacks to be invoked from within CPU notifiers.  If you
don't every wait, you cannot hang.

rcu: Make hot-unplugged CPU relinquish its own RCU callbacks

The current interaction between RCU and CPU hotplug requires that
RCU block in CPU notifiers waiting for callbacks to drain.

This can be greatly simplified by having each CPU relinquish its
own callbacks, and for both _rcu_barrier() and CPU_DEAD notifiers
to adopt all callbacks that were previously relinquished.

This change also eliminates the possibility of certain types of
hangs due to the previous practice of waiting for callbacks to be
invoked from within CPU notifiers.  If you don't every wait, you
cannot hang.

[PATCH tip/core/rcu 3/3] rcu: place root rcu_node structure in separate lockdep class

[Paul E. McKenney]

From: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

Before this patch, all of the rcu_node structures were in the same lockdep
class, so that lockdep would complain when rcu_preempt_offline_tasks()
acquired the root rcu_node structure's lock while holding one of the leaf
rcu_nodes' locks.  This patch changes rcu_init_one() to use a separate
spin_lock_init() for the root rcu_node structure's lock than is used for
that of all of the rest of the rcu_node structures, which puts the root
rcu_node structure's lock in its own lockdep class.

Applied, thanks Paul!

I dropped these commits for now:

 3ffea79: rcu: Make hot-unplugged CPU relinquish its own RCU callbacks
 eddd962: rcu: Move rcu_barrier() to rcutree, make lightweight rcu_barrier() for rcutiny
 a39e7d5: rcu-tiny: The Bloatwatch Edition, v6

We can apply rcu-tiny for .33 again, once the dust has settled.

Sounds good!  I am placing rcu-tiny and synchronize_srcu_expedited()
on a separate branch in my local git tree for 2.6.33.
