[PATCH 1/2] PCI/VMD: Use SRCU as a local RCU to prevent delaying global RCU

[PATCH 1/2] PCI/VMD: Use SRCU as a local RCU to prevent delaying global RCU

[Jon Derrick]

SRCU lets synchronize_srcu depend on VMD-local RCU primitives,
preventing long delays from locking up RCU in other systems. VMD
performs a synchronize when removing a device, but will hit all irq
lists if the device uses all VMD vectors. This patch will not help VMD's
RCU synchronization, but will isolate the read side delays to the VMD
subsystem. Additionally, the use of SRCU in VMD's isr will keep it
isolated from any other RCU waiters in the rest of the system.

The patch was tested using concurrent fio and nvme resets:
[global]
rw=read
bs=4k
direct=1
ioengine=libaio
iodepth=32
norandommap
timeout=300
runtime=1000000000

[nvme0]
cpus_allowed=0-63
numjobs=8
filename=/dev/nvme0n1

[nvme1]
cpus_allowed=0-63
numjobs=8
filename=/dev/nvme1n1

while (true) do
	for i in /sys/class/nvme/nvme*; do
		echo "Resetting ${i##*/}"
		echo 1 > $i/reset_controller;
		sleep 5
	done;
done

[PATCH 2/2] PCI/VMD: Select SRCU

[Jon Derrick]

VMD now uses SRCU, so we must qualify that it is part of the kernel.

I think it'd be better to squash this patch with the first in this series,
and append SRCU to the 'depends on' section rather than select it.

I get the feeling that having both 'select' and 'depends on' in the
Kconfig syntax is not a well loved feature:
