From 11b8b378c58bdaf076c2724bee03157e3160af5f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Paul E. McKenney" Date: Mon, 4 Mar 2024 15:33:33 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] rcu: Make Tiny RCU explicitly disable preemption Because Tiny RCU is used only in kernels built with either CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE=y or CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY=y, there has not been any need for TINY RCU to explicitly disable preemption. However, the prospect of lazy preemption changes that, and preemption means that the non-atomic increment in synchronize_rcu() can be preempted, with the possibility that one of the increments is lost. This could cause failures for users of the APIs that poll RCU grace periods. This commit therefore adds the needed preempt_disable() and preempt_enable() call to Tiny RCU. Signed-off-by: Paul E.
