[PATCH -tip 1/3] synchronize_sched_expedited() primitive

Paul E. McKenney
2009-06-24T16:46:54Z

This adds the synchronize_sched_expedited() primitive that implements
the "big hammer" expedited RCU grace periods. This primitive is placed
in kernel/sched.c rather than kernel/rcupdate.c due to its need to
interact closely with the migration_thread() kthread. The idea is to
wake up this kthread with req->task set to NULL, in response to which
the kthread reports the quiescent state resulting from the kthread
having been scheduled.

Because this patch needs to fallback to the slow versions of the
primitives in response to some races with CPU onlining and offlining,
a new synchronize_rcu_bh() primitive is added as well.
