Subject: [PATCH v2 4/6] srcu: Make Tiny call_srcu() safe to call from any context
Date: Mon, 3 Aug 2026 06:53:27 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260803135329.2327280-4-puranjay@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260803134839.2103051-1-puranjay@kernel.org>
Give Tiny call_srcu() the same treatment as Tree SRCU. When interrupts
are disabled and the scheduler is up, stage the callback on the
srcu_struct's lockless list for an irq_work to re-issue later. Tiny SRCU
is uniprocessor, so there is no CPU-offline drain. A draining flag drops
a deferring call_srcu() that re-enters mid-drain (unless from an NMI), as
in Tree SRCU.
srcu_barrier() (now out of line) and cleanup_srcu_struct() sync the
irq_work before checking for outstanding callbacks, so a deferred callback
is re-issued onto the callback list, where the leak checks can see it,
rather than stranded on a soon-to-be-freed srcu_struct.
Gated by CONFIG_RCU_DEFER, like Tree SRCU.
