Subject: [PATCH 00/13] srcu: Round out atomic SRCU support
Date: Mon,  7 Sep 2026 15:58:16 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260907075829.2073224-1-kunwu.chan@linux.dev> (raw)

From: Kunwu Chan <kunwu.chan@gmail.com>

This series rounds out atomic SRCU support with a reader-free fastpath,
some atomic-context fixes, and additional test coverage.

The core change is a reader-free fastpath for synchronize_srcu_atomic().
Atomic SRCU's read-side critical sections disable preemption, so when
the summed lock and unlock counts match for both ranks,
synchronize_srcu_atomic() can end the grace period immediately, without
the index flip or the srcu_advance_state() scans.  Correctness depends
on the grace-period anchor written by srcu_gp_start() preceding the
lock-count scan; two LKMM litmus tests (patches 1-2) verify that
ordering.

The series is:

 1-2  LKMM litmus tests for the reader-free fastpath ordering.
   3  srcutree: add the reader-free fastpath.
   4  rcutorture: add --do-atomic-srcu to torture.sh.
 5-7  srcutree: honor and propagate is_atomic so atomic SRCU never
      transitions to big.
   8  srcutree: forbid srcu_expedite_current() on atomic SRCU.
   9  rcutorture: disable srcu_expedite_current() for atomic SRCU.
  10  srcutree: skip callback scheduling for atomic SRCU grace periods.
  11  srcutree: drop the srcu_barrier() sleep for atomic SRCU.
  12  srcutree: remove leftover debug pr_alert()s.
  13  srcu: restrict the non_block annotation to task context, fixing a
      KCSAN data race.

The KCSAN race in patch 13 is a data race on the interrupted task's
->non_block_count when a timer callback runs atomic-SRCU readers in
inline softirq context.

Tested with herd7 7.58 (litmus tests), torture.sh --do-atomic-srcu, and
torture.sh --do-atomic-srcu --do-kcsan (KCSAN+PROVE_LOCKING).
