From 3042f83f19bec2e0cd356f72b39e4d816e8cd5ff Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Uladzislau Rezki (Sony)" Date: Mon, 25 May 2020 23:47:58 +0200 Subject: rcu: Support reclaim for head-less object Update the kvfree_call_rcu() function with head-less support. This allows RCU to reclaim objects without an embedded rcu_head. tree-RCU: We introduce two chains of arrays to store SLAB-backed and vmalloc pointers, each. Storage in either of these arrays does not require embedding an rcu_head within the object. Maintaining the arrays may become impossible due to high memory pressure. For such cases there is an emergency path. Objects with rcu_head inside are just queued on a backup rcu_head list. Later on that list is drained. As for the head-less variant, as the current context can sleep, the following emergency measures are applied: a) Synchronously wait until a grace period has elapsed. b) Call kvfree(). tiny-RCU: For double argument calls, there are no new changes in behavior. For single argument call, kvfree() is directly inlined on the current stack after a synchronize_rcu() call. Note that for tiny-RCU, any call to synchronize_rcu() is actually a quiescent state, therefore it does nothing.
