Subject: [PATCH v4 0/9] Implement RCU Tasks Trace in terms of SRCU for post-v4.19
Date: Mon, 29 Dec 2025 11:10:55 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <b206b083-f611-43b6-993f-78ddbe315813@paulmck-laptop> (raw)
Hello!
This v4 patch series re-implements RCU Tasks Trace in terms of SRCU-fast,
reducing the size of the Linux-kernel RCU implementation by several
hundred lines of code. The patches are as follows:
1. Re-implement RCU Tasks Trace in terms of SRCU-fast.
2. context_tracking: Remove
rcu_task_trace_heavyweight_{enter,exit}().
3. Clean up after the SRCU-fastification of RCU Tasks Trace.
4. Move rcu_tasks_trace_srcu_struct out of #ifdef
CONFIG_TASKS_RCU_GENERIC.
5. Add noinstr-fast rcu_read_{,un}lock_tasks_trace() APIs.
6. Update Requirements.rst for RCU Tasks Trace.
7. Deprecate rcu_read_{,un}lock_trace().
8. Create an rcu_tasks_trace_expedite_current() function.
9. Test rcu_tasks_trace_expedite_current().
Changes since v3:
o Rebase onto v6.19-rc1.
o Wait for arm64 per-CPU variable speedups to reach mainline.
https://lore.kernel.org/all/a1e505e4-931b-45cf-8ca7-337442aa598e@paulmck-laptop/#r
Changes since v2:
o SRCU improvments not strictly related to RCU tasks trace have
been moved out to a separate series.
o Use the new DEFINE_SRCU_FAST().
https://lore.kernel.org/all/7fa58961-2dce-4e08-8174-1d1cc592210f@paulmck-laptop/
Changes since v1:
o Consolidate RCU Tasks Trace cleanup patches per Alexei Starovoitov
feedback. This explains the decrease from 34 patches in v1 to
only 21 in this v2 series.
o While consolidating, consolidate the noinstr-fast patches and the
DEFINE_SRCU_FAST()/init_srcu_struct_fast() patches.
o Upgrade comments per Peter Zijlstra feedback.
o Extract Tiny SRCU bug fix into its own commit per Andrii Nakryiko
feedback.
o Switch srcu_expedite_current() from preempt_disable() to
migrate_disable() for PREEMPT_RT kernels per Zqiang feedback.
o Apply tags.
