Subject: [PATCH 33/34] srcu: Make SRCU-fast readers enforce use of SRCU-fast definition/init
Date: Tue, 23 Sep 2025 07:20:35 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250923142036.112290-33-paulmck@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <580ea2de-799a-4ddc-bde9-c16f3fb1e6e7@paulmck-laptop>
This commit makes CONFIG_PROVE_RCU=y kernels enforce the new rule
that srcu_struct structures that are passed to srcu_read_lock_fast()
and other SRCU-fast read-side markers be either initialized with
init_srcu_struct_fast() on the one hand or defined with DEFINE_SRCU_FAST()
or DEFINE_STATIC_SRCU_FAST() on the other.
This eliminates the read-side test that was formerly included in
srcu_read_lock_fast() and friends, speeding these primitives up by
about 25% (admittedly only about half of a nanosecond, but when tracing
on fastpaths...)
