Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 0/14] Documentation updates for 4.6
Date: Tue, 23 Feb 2016 21:00:21 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160224050021.GA14616@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
Hello!
This series contains documentation updates as follows:
1. Update the requirements design-level documentation to record RCU's
responsibility to avoid injecting OS jitter onto nohz_full CPUs.
2. Fix control-dependency summary of memory-barriers.txt to
note that barrier() does not always prevent code reordering
when both legs of an "if" statement begin with identical code.
3. Fix memory-barriers.txt section references.
4. Update the requirements design-level documentation to add
synchronize_rcu_mult().
5. Remove obsolete references to RCU-protected array indexes from
memory-barriers.txt.
6. Update memory-barriers.txt to explicitly state that
rcu_dereference() orders writes to as well as reads from
the RCU-protected data item.
7. Update memory-barriers.txt to distinguish between local and
global transitivity.
8. Update memory-barriers.txt to add alternative outcome from
release-acquire chain.
9. Add design-level documentation for RCU's major data structures.
10. Update the requirements design-level documentation to explain
why rcu_read_lock() needs no barrier() for PREEMPT=n.
11. Remove misleading statement that transitivity is cumulativity
from memory-barriers.txt.
12. Update the requirements design-level documentation to explicitly
state that it is illegal to invoke call_rcu() from an offline CPU.
13. Add text to the design-level documentation for RCU's major data
structures stating how the combining tree keeps lock contention
under control.
14. Clarify compiler store-fusion example in memory-barriers.txt.
Thanx, Paul
