Subject: [PATCH rcu 16/20] srcu: Check for readers at module-exit time
Date: Thu, 30 Mar 2023 15:47:22 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230330224726.662344-16-paulmck@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <f1b6cd5f-f0b7-4748-abd5-0dcfef0ce126@paulmck-laptop>
If a given statically allocated in-module srcu_struct structure was ever
used for updates, srcu_module_going() will invoke cleanup_srcu_struct()
at module-exit time. This will check for the error case of SRCU readers
persisting past module-exit time. On the other hand, if this srcu_struct
structure never went through a grace period, srcu_module_going() only
invokes free_percpu(), which would result in strange failures if SRCU
readers persisted past module-exit time.
This commit therefore adds a srcu_readers_active() check to
srcu_module_going(), splatting if readers have persisted and refraining
from invoking free_percpu() in that case. Better to leak memory than
to suffer silent memory corruption!
[ paulmck: Apply Zhang, Qiang1 feedback on memory leak. ]
