Subject: [PATCH 2/2] srcu: Remove needless updating of srcu_have_cbs in srcu_gp_end()
Date: Sun, 20 Nov 2022 11:40:14 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20221120034014.7390-3-kernelfans@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20221120034014.7390-1-kernelfans@gmail.com>

At present, snp->srcu_have_cbs[idx] is updated by either
srcu_funnel_gp_start() or srcu_gp_end().

But as the code changes, now, srcu_funnel_gp_start() is called with srcu
read lock held. And its input parameter s, s = rcu_seq_snap(&ssp->srcu_gp_seq),
whose counter field always proceeds that of the srcu_gp_seq by one or two.

If the seq snap only proceeds by one, the state machine should be in
state SRCU_STATE_IDLE, the held srcu read lock will prevent the state
machine from moving ahead. So when srcu_gp_end() updates
snp->srcu_have_cbs[idx], the idx must be the past idx for
srcu_funnel_gp_start() that is cared by nobody.

So removing the unnecessary updating in srcu_gp_end().

Test info:
  Running "tools/testing/selftests/rcutorture/bin/kvm.sh --allcpus --duration 10h --configs 18*SRCU-P"
without any failure.
