Subject: [PATCH RFC 10/16] rcu: Remove unused func parameter from callback-enqueue functions
Date: Thu, 30 Jul 2026 18:01:47 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260731010153.3531313-10-paulmck@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <9de287bc-e565-4f21-bd3c-5c17792e6abc@paulmck-laptop>
From: Joel Fernandes <joelagnelf@nvidia.com>
Ever since the kvfree_rcu() tracing moved out of the callback-enqueue
path, rcutree_enqueue() no longer looks at the callback function
pointer: By the time it is invoked, __call_rcu_common() has already
stored the function into rhp->func, and the enqueue path only adds
the rcu_head to the segmented callback list and emits tracepoints
that do not take the function pointer.
Nevertheless, the function pointer is still threaded through
call_rcu_core(), call_rcu_nocb(), and rcutree_enqueue(), forcing
each level to carry a dead argument.
Remove the parameter from all three functions, from the no-CBs stub,
and from the corresponding declarations. Anything needing the
callback function can still get it from rhp->func.
No functional change.
