Relationships">Data-Structure Relationships</a></h3> + +<p>RCU is for all intents and purposes a large state machine, and its +data structures maintain the state in such a way as to allow RCU readers +to execute extremely quickly, while also processing the RCU grace periods +requested by updaters in an efficient and extremely scalable fashion. +The efficiency and scalability of RCU updaters is provided primarily +by a combining tree, as shown below: + +</p><p><img src="BigTreeClassicRCU.svg" alt="BigTreeClassicRCU.svg" width="30%"> + +</p><p>This diagram shows an enclosing <tt>rcu_state</tt> structure +containing a tree of <tt>rcu_node</tt> structures. +Each leaf node of the <tt>rcu_node</tt> tree has up to 16 +<tt>rcu_data</tt> structures associated with it, so that there +are <tt>NR_CPUS</tt> number of <tt>rcu_data</tt> structures, +one for each possible CPU. +This structure is adjusted at boot time, if needed, to handle the +common case where <tt>nr_cpu_ids</tt> is much less than +<tt>NR_CPUs</tt>. +For example, a number of Linux distributions set <tt>NR_CPUs=4096</tt>, +which results in a three-level <tt>rcu_node</tt> tree. +If the actual hardware has only 16 CPUs, RCU will adjust itself +at boot time, resulting in an <tt>rcu_node</tt> tree with only a single node. + +</p><p>The purpose of this combining tree is to allow per-CPU events +such as quiescent states, dyntick-idle transitions, +and CPU hotplug operations to be processed efficiently +and scalably. +Quiescent states are recorded by the per-CPU <tt>rcu_data</tt> structures, +and other events are recorded by the leaf-level <tt>rcu_node</tt> +structures. +All of these events are combined at each level of the tree until finally +grace periods are completed at the tree's root <tt>rcu_node</tt> +structure. +A grace period can be completed at the root once every CPU +(or, in the case of <tt>CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU</tt>, task) +has passed through a quiescent state. +Once a grace period has completed, record of that fact is propagated +back down the tree. + +</p><p>As can be seen from the diagram, on a 64-bit system +a two-level tree with 64 leaves can accommodate 1,024 CPUs, with a fanout +of 64 at the root and a fanout of 16 at the leaves. + +<table> +<tr><th> </th></tr> +<tr><th align="left">Quick Quiz:</th></tr> +<tr><td> + Why isn't the fanout at the leaves also 64? +</td></tr> +<tr><th align="left">Answer:</th></tr> +<tr><td bgcolor="#ffffff"><font color="ffffff"> + Because there are more types of events that affect the leaf-level + <tt>rcu_node</tt> structures than further up the tree. + Therefore, if the leaf <tt>rcu_node</tt> structures have fanout of + 64, the contention on these structures' <tt>->structures</tt> + becomes excessive. + Experimentation on a wide variety of systems has shown that a fanout + of 16 works well for the leaves of the <tt>rcu_node</tt> tree. + </font> + + <p><font color="ffffff">Of course, further experience with + systems having hundreds or thousands of CPUs may demonstrate + that the fanout for the non-leaf <tt>rcu_node</tt> structures + must also be reduced. + Such reduction can be easily carried out when and if it proves + necessary. + In the meantime, if you are using such a system and running into + contention problems on the non-leaf <tt>rcu_node</tt> structures, + you may use the <tt>CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT</tt> kernel configuration + parameter to reduce the non-leaf fanout as needed. + </font> + + <p><font color="ffffff">Kernels built for systems with + strong NUMA characteristics might also need to adjust + <tt>CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT</tt> so that the domains of the + <tt>rcu_node</tt> structures align with hardware boundaries. + However, there has thus far been no need for this. +</font></td></tr> +<tr><td> </td></tr> +</table> + +<p>If your system has more than 1,024 CPUs (or more than 512 CPUs on +a 32-bit system), then RCU will automatically add more levels to the +tree. +For example, if you are crazy enough to build a 64-bit system with 65,536 +CPUs, RCU would configure the <tt>rcu_node</tt> tree as follows: + +</p><p><img src="HugeTreeClassicRCU.svg" alt="HugeTreeClassicRCU.svg" width="50%"> + +</p><p>RCU currently permits up to a four-level tree, which on a 64-bit system +accommodates up to 4,194,304 CPUs, though only a mere 524,288 CPUs for +32-bit systems. +On the other hand, you can set <tt>CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT</tt> to be +as small as 2 if you wish, which would permit only 16 CPUs, which +is useful for testing. + +</p><p>This multi-level combining tree allows us to get most of the +performance and scalability +benefits of partitioning, even though RCU grace-period detection is +inherently a global operation. +The trick here is that only the last CPU to report a quiescent state +into a given <tt>rcu_node</tt> structure need advance to the <tt>rcu_node</tt> +structure at the next level up the tree. +This means that at the leaf-level <tt>rcu_node</tt> structure, only +one access out of sixteen will progress up the tree. +For the internal <tt>rcu_node</tt> structures, the situation is even +more extreme: Only one access out of sixty-four will progress up +the tree. +Because the vast majority of the CPUs do not progress up the tree, +the lock contention remains roughly constant up the tree. +No matter how many CPUs there are in the system, at most 64 quiescent-state +reports per grace period will progress all the way to the root +<tt>rcu_node</tt> structure, thus ensuring that the lock contention +on that root <tt>rcu_node</tt> structure remains acceptably low. + +</p><p>In effect, the combining tree acts like a big shock absorber, +keeping lock contention under control at all tree levels regardless +of the level of loading on the system. + +</p><p>The Linux kernel actually supports multiple flavors of RCU +running concurrently, so RCU builds separate data structures for each +flavor. +For example, for <tt>CONFIG_TREE_RCU=y</tt> kernels, RCU provides +rcu_sched and rcu_bh, as shown below: + +</p><p><img src="BigTreeClassicRCUBH.svg" alt="BigTreeClassicRCUBH.svg" width="33%"> + +</p><p>Energy efficiency is increasingly important, and for that +reason the Linux kernel provides <tt>CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE</tt>, which +turns off the scheduling-clock interrupts on idle CPUs, which in +turn allows those CPUs to attain deeper sleep states and to consume +less energy. +CPUs whose scheduling-clock interrupts have been turned off are +said to be in <i>dyntick-idle mode</i>. +RCU must handle dyntick-idle CPUs specially +because RCU would otherwise wake up each CPU on every grace period, +which would defeat the whole purpose of <tt>CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE</tt>. +RCU uses the <tt>rcu_dynticks</tt> structure to track +which CPUs are in dyntick idle mode, as shown below: + +</p><p><img src="BigTreeClassicRCUBHdyntick.svg" alt="BigTreeClassicRCUBHdyntick.svg" width="33%"> + +</p><p>However, if a CPU is in dyntick-idle mode, it is in that mode +for all flavors of RCU. +Therefore, a single <tt>rcu_dynticks</tt> structure is allocated per +CPU, and all of a given CPU's <tt>rcu_data</tt> structures share +that <tt>rcu_dynticks</tt>, as shown in the figure. + +</p><p>Kernels built with <tt>CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU</tt> support +rcu_preempt in addition to rcu_sched and rcu_bh, as shown below: + +</p><p><img src="BigTreePreemptRCUBHdyntick.svg" alt="BigTreePreemptRCUBHdyntick.svg" width="35%"> + +</p><p>RCU updaters wait for normal grace periods by registering +RCU callbacks, either directly via <tt>call_rcu()</tt> and +friends (namely <tt>call_rcu_bh()</tt> and <tt>call_rcu_sched()</tt>), +there being a separate interface per flavor of RCU) +or indirectly via <tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt> and friends. +RCU callbacks are represented by <tt>rcu_head</tt> structures, +which are queued on <tt>rcu_data</tt> structures while they are +waiting for a grace period to elapse, as shown in the following figure: + +</p><p><img src="BigTreePreemptRCUBHdyntickCB.svg" alt="BigTreePreemptRCUBHdyntickCB.svg" width="40%"> + +</p><p>This figure shows how <tt>TREE_RCU</tt>'s and +<tt>PREEMPT_RCU</tt>'s major data structures are related. +Lesser data structures will be introduced with the algorithms that +make use of them. + +</p><p>Note that each of the data structures in the above figure has +its own synchronization: + +<p><ol> +<li> Each <tt>rcu_state</tt> structures has a lock and a mutex, + and some fields are protected by the corresponding root + <tt>rcu_node</tt> structure's lock. +<li> Each <tt>rcu_node</tt> structure has a spinlock. +<li> The fields in <tt>rcu_data</tt> are private to the corresponding + CPU, although a few can be read and written by other CPUs. +<li> Similarly, the fields in <tt>rcu_dynticks</tt> are private + to the corresponding CPU, although a few can be read by + other CPUs. +</ol> + +<p>It is important to note that different data structures can have +very different ideas about the state of RCU at any given time. +For but one example, awareness of the start or end of a given RCU +grace period propagates slowly through the data structures. +This slow propagation is absolutely necessary for RCU to have good +read-side performance. +If this balkanized implementation seems foreign to you, one useful +trick is to consider each instance of these data structures to be +a different person, each having the usual slightly different +view of reality. + +</p><p>The general role of each of these data structures is as +follows: + +</p><ol> +<li> <tt>rcu_state</tt>: + This structure forms the interconnection between the + <tt>rcu_node</tt> and <tt>rcu_data</tt> structures, + tracks grace periods, serves as short-term repository + for callbacks orphaned by CPU-hotplug events, + maintains <tt>rcu_barrier()</tt> state, + tracks expedited grace-period state, + and maintains state used to force quiescent states when + grace periods extend too long, +<li> <tt>rcu_node</tt>: This structure forms the combining + tree that propagates quiescent-state + information from the leaves to the root, and also propagates + grace-period information from the root to the leaves. + It provides local copies of the grace-period state in order + to allow this information to be accessed in a synchronized + manner without suffering the scalability limitations that + would otherwise be imposed by global locking. + In <tt>CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU</tt> kernels, it manages the lists + of tasks that have blocked while in their current + RCU read-side critical section. + In <tt>CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU</tt> with + <tt>CONFIG_RCU_BOOST</tt>, it manages the + per-<tt>rcu_node</tt> priority-boosting + kernel threads (kthreads) and state. + Finally, it records CPU-hotplug state in order to determine + which CPUs should be ignored during a given grace period. +<li> <tt>rcu_data</tt>: This per-CPU structure is the + focus of quiescent-state detection and RCU callback queuing. + It also tracks its relationship to the corresponding leaf + <tt>rcu_node</tt> structure to allow more-efficient + propagation of quiescent states up the <tt>rcu_node</tt> + combining tree. + Like the <tt>rcu_node</tt> structure, it provides a local + copy of the grace-period information to allow for-free + synchronized + access to this information from the corresponding CPU. + Finally, this structure records past dyntick-idle state + for the corresponding CPU and also tracks statistics. +<li> <tt>rcu_dynticks</tt>: + This per-CPU structure tracks the current dyntick-idle + state for the corresponding CPU. + Unlike the other three structures, the <tt>rcu_dynticks</tt> + structure is not replicated per RCU flavor. +<li>

heavy use of this field to push quiescent +states up the tree. +The <tt>->level</tt> field gives the level in the tree, with +the root being at level zero, its children at level one, and so on. +The <tt>->grpnum</tt> field gives this node's position within +the children of its parent, so this number can range between 0 and 31 +on 32-bit systems and between 0 and 63 on 64-bit systems. +The <tt>->level</tt> and <tt>->grpnum</tt> fields are +used only during initialization and for tracing. +The <tt>->grpmask</tt> field is the bitmask counterpart of +<tt>->grpnum</tt>, and therefore always has exactly one bit set. +This mask is used to clear the bit corresponding to this <tt>rcu_node</tt> +structure in its parent's bitmasks, which are described later. +Finally, the <tt>->grplo</tt> and <tt>->grphi</tt> fields +contain the lowest and highest numbered CPU served by this +<tt>rcu_node</tt> structure, respectively. + +</p><p>All of these fields are constant, and thus do not require any

the remaining fields in this structure, +unless otherwise stated. +That said, all of the fields in this structure can be accessed without +locking for tracing purposes. +Yes, this can result in confusing traces, but better some tracing confusion +than to be heisenbugged out of existence. + +<h5>Grace-Period Tracking</h5> + +<p>This portion of the <tt>rcu_node</tt> structure is declared +as follows: + +<pre> + 1 unsigned long gpnum; + 2 unsigned long completed; +</pre> + +<p>These fields are the counterparts of the fields of the same name in +the <tt>rcu_state</tt> structure. +They each

+structure believes that RCU is idle. +Otherwise, as with the <tt>rcu_state</tt> structure, +the <tt>->gpnum</tt> field will be one greater than the +<tt>->complete</tt> fields, with <tt>->gpnum</tt> +indicating which grace period this <tt>rcu_node</tt> believes +is still being waited for. + +</p><p>The <tt>>gpnum</tt> field of each <tt>rcu_node</tt> +structure is updated at the beginning +of each grace period, and the <tt>->completed</tt> fields are +updated at the end of each grace period. + +<h5>Quiescent-State Tracking</h5> + +<p>These fields manage the propagation of quiescent states up the +combining tree. + +</p><p>This portion of the <tt>rcu_node</tt> structure has fields +as follows: + +<pre> + 1 unsigned long qsmask; + 2 unsigned long expmask; + 3 unsigned long qsmaskinit; + 4 unsigned long expmaskinit; +</pre> + +<p>The <tt>->qsmask</tt> field tracks which of this +<tt>rcu_node</tt> structure's children still need to report +quiescent states for the current normal grace period. +Such children will have a value of 1 in their corresponding bit. +Note that the leaf <tt>rcu_node</tt> structures should be +thought of as having <tt>rcu_data</tt> structures as their +children. +Similarly, the <tt>->expmask</tt> field tracks which +of this <tt>rcu_node</tt> structure's children still need to report +quiescent states for the current expedited grace period. +An expedited grace period has +the same conceptual properties as a normal grace period, but the +expedited implementation accepts extreme CPU overhead to obtain +much lower grace-period latency, for example, consuming a few +tens of microseconds worth of CPU time to reduce grace-period +duration from milliseconds to tens of microseconds. +The <tt>->qsmaskinit</tt> field tracks which of this +<tt>rcu_node</tt> structure's children cover for at least +one online CPU. +This mask is used to initialize <tt>->qsmask</tt>, +and <tt>->expmaskinit</tt> is used to initialize +<tt>->expmask</tt>

RCU callbacks are invoked by +the same CPU that registered them. +This is strictly a cache-locality optimization: callbacks can and +do get invoked on CPUs other than the one that registered them.

+<p>The <tt>->nxtlist</tt> pointer and the +<tt>->nxttail[]</tt> array form a four-segment list with +older callbacks near the head and newer ones near the tail. +Each segment contains callbacks with the corresponding relationship +to the current grace period. +The pointer out of the end of each of the four segments is referenced +by the element of the <tt>->nxttail[]</tt> array indexed by +<tt>RCU_DONE_TAIL</tt> (for callbacks handled by a prior grace period), +<tt>RCU_WAIT_TAIL</tt> (for callbacks waiting on the current grace period), +<tt>RCU_NEXT_READY_TAIL</tt> (for callbacks that

+</p><p><img src="nxtlist.svg" alt="nxtlist.svg" width="40%"> + +</p><p>In this figure, the <tt>->nxtlist</tt> pointer references the +first +RCU callback in the list. +The <tt>->nxttail[RCU_DONE_TAIL]</tt> array element references +the <tt>->nxtlist</tt> pointer itself, indicating that none +of the callbacks is ready to invoke. +The <tt>->nxttail[RCU_WAIT_TAIL]</tt> array element references callback +CB 2's <tt>->next</tt> pointer, which indicates that +CB 1 and CB 2 are both waiting on the current grace period. +The <tt>->nxttail[RCU_NEXT_READY_TAIL]</tt> array element +references the same RCU callback that <tt>->nxttail[RCU_WAIT_TAIL]</tt> +does, which indicates that there are no callbacks waiting on the next +RCU grace period. +The <tt>->nxttail[RCU_NEXT_TAIL]</tt> array element references +CB 4's <tt>->next</tt> pointer, indicating that all the +remaining RCU callbacks have not yet been assigned to an RCU grace +period. +Note that the <tt>->nxttail[RCU_NEXT_TAIL]</tt> array element +always references the last RCU callback's <tt>->next</tt> pointer +unless the callback list is empty, in which case it references +the <tt>->nxtlist</tt> pointer. + +</p><p>CPUs advance their callbacks from the +<tt>RCU_NEXT_TAIL</tt> to the <tt>RCU_NEXT_READY_TAIL</tt> to the +<tt>RCU_WAIT_TAIL</tt> to the <tt>RCU_DONE_TAIL</tt> list segments +as grace periods advance. +The CPU advances the callbacks in its <tt>rcu_data</tt> structure +whenever it notices that another RCU grace period has completed. +The CPU detects the completion of an RCU grace period by noticing +that the value of its <tt>rcu_data</tt> structure's +<tt>->completed</tt> field differs from that of its leaf +<tt>rcu_node</tt> structure. +Recall that

the number of +callbacks in <tt>->nxtlist</tt>, and the +<tt>->qlen_lazy</tt> contains the number of those callbacks that +are known to only free memory, and whose invocation can therefore +be safely deferred. +The <tt>->qlen_last_fqs_check</tt> and +<tt>->n_force_qs_snap</tt> coordinate the forcing of quiescent +states from <tt>call_rcu()</tt> and friends when callback +lists grow excessively long. + +</p><p>The <tt>->n_cbs_invoked</tt>, +<tt>->n_cbs_orphaned</tt>, and <tt>->n_cbs_adopted</tt> +fields count the number of callbacks invoked, +sent to other CPUs when this CPU goes offline, +and received from other CPUs when those other CPUs go offline. +Finally, the <tt>->blimit</tt> counter is the maximum number of +RCU callbacks that may be invoked at a given time. + +<h5>Dyntick-Idle

-<p> -This document therefore summarizes RCU's requirements, and can be thought -of as an informal, high-level specification for RCU. -It is important to understand that RCU's specification is primarily -empirical in nature; -in fact, I learned about many of these requirements the hard way. -This situation might cause some consternation, however, not only -has this learning process been a lot of fun, but it has also been -a great privilege to work with so many people willing to apply -technologies in interesting new ways. -

-<p> -RCU's grace-period guarantee is unusual in being premeditated: -Jack Slingwine and I had this guarantee firmly in mind when we started -work on RCU (then called “rclock”) in the early 1990s. -That said, the past two decades of experience with RCU have produced -a much more detailed understanding of this guarantee. - -<p> -RCU's grace-period guarantee allows updaters to wait for the completion -of all pre-existing RCU read-side critical sections. -An RCU read-side critical section -begins with the marker <tt>rcu_read_lock()</tt> and ends with -the marker <tt>rcu_read_unlock()</tt>. -These markers may be nested, and RCU treats a nested set as one -big RCU read-side critical section. -Production-quality implementations of <tt>rcu_read_lock()</tt> and -<tt>rcu_read_unlock()</tt> are extremely lightweight, and in -fact have exactly zero overhead in Linux kernels built for production -use with <tt>CONFIG_PREEMPT=n</tt>. - -<p> -This guarantee allows ordering to be enforced with extremely low -overhead to readers, for example: - -<blockquote> -<pre> - 1 int x, y; - 2 - 3 void thread0(void) - 4 { - 5 rcu_read_lock(); - 6 r1 = READ_ONCE(x); - 7 r2 = READ_ONCE(y); - 8 rcu_read_unlock(); - 9 } -10 -11 void thread1(void) -12 { -13 WRITE_ONCE(x, 1); -14 synchronize_rcu(); -15 WRITE_ONCE(y, 1); -16 } -</pre> -</blockquote> - -<p> -Because the <tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt> on line 14 waits for -all pre-existing readers, any instance of <tt>thread0()</tt> that -loads a value of zero from <tt>x</tt> must complete before -<tt>thread1()</tt> stores to <tt>y</tt>, so that instance must -also load a value of zero from <tt>y</tt>. -Similarly, any instance of <tt>thread0()</tt> that loads a value of -one from <tt>y</tt> must have started after the -<tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt> started, and must therefore also load -a value of one from <tt>x</tt>. -Therefore, the outcome: -<blockquote> -<pre> -(r1 == 0 && r2 == 1) -</pre> -</blockquote> -cannot happen. - -<p>@@QQ@@ -Wait a minute! -You said that updaters can make useful forward progress concurrently -with readers, but pre-existing readers will block -<tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt>!!! -Just who are you trying to fool??? -<p>@@QQA@@ -First, if updaters do not wish to be blocked by readers, they can use -<tt>call_rcu()</tt> or <tt>kfree_rcu()</tt>, which will -be discussed later. -Second, even when using <tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt>, the other -update-side code does run concurrently with readers, whether pre-existing -or not. -<p>@@QQE@@ - -<p> -This scenario resembles one of the first uses of RCU in -<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DYNIX">DYNIX/ptx</a>, -which managed a distributed lock manager's transition into -a state suitable for handling recovery from node failure, -more or less as follows: - -<blockquote> -<pre> - 1 #define STATE_NORMAL 0 - 2 #define STATE_WANT_RECOVERY 1 - 3 #define STATE_RECOVERING 2 - 4 #define STATE_WANT_NORMAL 3 - 5 - 6 int state = STATE_NORMAL; - 7 - 8 void do_something_dlm(void) - 9 { -10 int state_snap; -11 -12 rcu_read_lock(); -13 state_snap = READ_ONCE(state); -14 if (state_snap == STATE_NORMAL) -15 do_something(); -16 else -17 do_something_carefully(); -18 rcu_read_unlock(); -19 } -20 -21 void start_recovery(void) -22 { -23 WRITE_ONCE(state, STATE_WANT_RECOVERY); -24 synchronize_rcu(); -25 WRITE_ONCE(state, STATE_RECOVERING); -26 recovery(); -27 WRITE_ONCE(state, STATE_WANT_NORMAL); -28 synchronize_rcu(); -29 WRITE_ONCE(state, STATE_NORMAL); -30 } -</pre> -</blockquote> - -<p> -The RCU read-side critical section in <tt>do_something_dlm()</tt> -works with the <tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt> in <tt>start_recovery()</tt> -to guarantee that <tt>do_something()</tt> never runs concurrently -with <tt>recovery()</tt>, but with little or no synchronization -overhead in <tt>do_something_dlm()</tt>. - -<p>@@QQ@@ -Why is the <tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt> on line 28 needed? -<p>@@QQA@@ -Without that extra grace period, memory reordering could result in -<tt>do_something_dlm()</tt> executing <tt>do_something()</tt> -concurrently with the last bits of <tt>recovery()</tt>. -<p>@@QQE@@ - -<p> -In order to avoid fatal problems such as deadlocks, -an RCU read-side critical section must not contain calls to -<tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt>. -Similarly, an RCU read-side critical section must not -contain anything that waits, directly or indirectly, on completion of -an invocation of <tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt>. - -<p> -Although RCU's grace-period guarantee is useful in and of itself, with -<a href="https://lwn.net/Articles/573497/">quite a few use cases</a>, -it would be good to be able to use RCU to coordinate read-side -access to linked data structures. -For this, the grace-period guarantee is not sufficient, as can -be seen in function <tt>add_gp_buggy()</tt> below. -We will look at the reader's code later, but in the meantime, just think of -the reader as locklessly picking up the <tt>gp</tt> pointer, -and, if the value loaded is non-<tt>NULL</tt>, locklessly accessing the -<tt>->a</tt> and <tt>->b</tt> fields. -

-<h3><a name="Publish-Subscribe Guarantee">Publish/Subscribe Guarantee</a></h3> - -<p> -RCU's publish-subscribe guarantee allows data to be inserted -into a linked data structure without disrupting RCU readers. -The updater uses <tt>rcu_assign_pointer()</tt> to insert the -new data, and readers use <tt>rcu_dereference()</tt> to -access data, whether new or old. -The following shows an example of insertion: - -<blockquote> -<pre> - 1 bool add_gp(int a, int b) - 2 { - 3 p = kmalloc(sizeof(*p), GFP_KERNEL); - 4 if (!p) - 5 return -ENOMEM; - 6 spin_lock(&gp_lock); - 7 if (rcu_access_pointer(gp)) { - 8 spin_unlock(&gp_lock); - 9 return false; -10 } -11 p->a = a; -12 p->b = a; -13 rcu_assign_pointer(gp, p); -14 spin_unlock(&gp_lock); -15 return true; -16 } -</pre> -</blockquote> - -<p> -The <tt>rcu_assign_pointer()</tt> on line 13 is conceptually -equivalent to a simple assignment statement, but also guarantees -that its assignment will -happen after the two assignments in lines 11 and 12, -similar to the C11 <tt>memory_order_release</tt> store operation. -It also prevents any number of “interesting” compiler -optimizations, for example, the use of <tt>gp</tt> as a scratch -location immediately preceding the assignment. - -<p>@@QQ@@ -But <tt>rcu_assign_pointer()</tt> does nothing to prevent the -two assignments to <tt>p->a</tt> and <tt>p->b</tt> -from being reordered. -Can't that also cause problems? -<p>@@QQA@@ -No, it cannot. -The readers cannot see either of these two fields until -the assignment to <tt>gp</tt>, by which time both fields are -fully initialized. -So reordering the assignments -to <tt>p->a</tt> and <tt>p->b</tt> cannot possibly -cause any problems. -<p>@@QQE@@ - -<p> -It is tempting to assume that the reader need not do anything special -to control its accesses to the RCU-protected data, -as shown in <tt>do_something_gp_buggy()</tt> below: - -<blockquote> -<pre> - 1 bool do_something_gp_buggy(void) - 2 { - 3 rcu_read_lock(); - 4 p = gp; /* OPTIMIZATIONS GALORE!!! */ - 5 if (p) { - 6 do_something(p->a, p->b); - 7 rcu_read_unlock(); - 8 return true; - 9 } -10 rcu_read_unlock(); -11 return false; -12 } -</pre> -</blockquote> - -<p> -However, this temptation must be resisted because there are a -surprisingly large number of ways that the compiler -(to say nothing of -<a href="https://h71000.www7.hp.com/wizard/wiz_2637.html">DEC Alpha CPUs</a>) -can trip this code up. -For but one example, if the compiler were short of registers, it -might choose to refetch from <tt>gp</tt> rather than keeping -a separate copy in <tt>p</tt> as follows: - -<blockquote> -<pre> - 1 bool do_something_gp_buggy_optimized(void) - 2 { - 3 rcu_read_lock(); - 4 if (gp) { /* OPTIMIZATIONS GALORE!!! */ -<b> 5 do_something(gp->a, gp->b);</b> - 6 rcu_read_unlock(); -

-<blockquote> -<pre> - 1 bool do_something_gp(void) - 2 { - 3 rcu_read_lock(); - 4 p = rcu_dereference(gp); - 5 if (p) { - 6 do_something(p->a, p->b); - 7 rcu_read_unlock(); - 8 return true; - 9 } -10 rcu_read_unlock(); -11 return false; -12 } -</pre> -</blockquote> -

-<p> -In short, updaters use <tt>rcu_assign_pointer()</tt> and readers -use <tt>rcu_dereference()</tt>, and these two RCU API elements -work together to ensure that readers have a consistent view of -newly added data elements. -

-<h3><a name="Memory-Barrier Guarantees">Memory-Barrier Guarantees</a></h3> - -<p> -The previous section's simple linked-data-structure scenario clearly -demonstrates the need for RCU's stringent memory-ordering guarantees on -systems with more than one CPU: - -<ol> -<li> Each CPU that has an RCU read-side critical section that - begins before <tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt> starts is - guaranteed to execute a full memory barrier between the time - that the RCU read-side critical section ends and the time that - <tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt> returns. - Without this guarantee, a pre-existing RCU read-side critical section - might hold a reference to the newly removed <tt>struct foo</tt> - after the <tt>kfree()</tt> on line 14 of - <tt>remove_gp_synchronous()</tt>. -<li> Each CPU that has an RCU read-side critical section that ends - after <tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt> returns is guaranteed - to execute a full memory barrier between the time that - <tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt> begins and the time that the RCU - read-side critical section begins. - Without this guarantee, a later RCU read-side critical section - running after the <tt>kfree()</tt> on line 14 of - <tt>remove_gp_synchronous()</tt> might - later run <tt>do_something_gp()</tt> and find the - newly deleted <tt>struct foo</tt>. -<li> If the task invoking <tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt> remains - on a given CPU, then that CPU is guaranteed to execute a full - memory barrier sometime during the execution of - <tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt>. - This guarantee ensures that the <tt>kfree()</tt> on - line 14 of <tt>remove_gp_synchronous()</tt> really does - execute after the removal on line 11. -<li> If the task invoking <tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt> migrates - among a group of CPUs during that invocation, then each of the - CPUs in that group is guaranteed to execute a full memory barrier - sometime during the execution of <tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt>. - This guarantee also ensures that the <tt>kfree()</tt> on - line 14 of <tt>remove_gp_synchronous()</tt> really does - execute after the removal on - line 11, but also in the case where the thread executing the - <tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt> migrates in the meantime. -</ol> - -<p>@@QQ@@ -Given that multiple CPUs can start RCU read-side critical sections -at any time without any ordering whatsoever, how can RCU possibly tell whether -or not a given RCU read-side critical section starts before a -given instance of <tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt>? -<p>@@QQA@@ -If RCU cannot tell whether or not a given -RCU read-side critical section starts before a -given instance of <tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt>, -then it must assume that the RCU read-side critical section -started first. -In other words, a given instance of <tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt> -can avoid waiting on a given RCU read-side critical section only -if it can prove that <tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt> started first. -<p>@@QQE@@ - -<p>@@QQ@@ -The first and second guarantees require unbelievably strict ordering! -Are all these memory barriers <i> really</i> required? -<p>@@QQA@@ -Yes, they really are required. -To see why the first guarantee is required, consider the following -sequence of events: -

-<p> -Implementations of RCU for which <tt>rcu_read_lock()</tt> -and <tt>rcu_read_unlock()</tt> generate no code, such as -Linux-kernel RCU when <tt>CONFIG_PREEMPT=n</tt>, can be -nested arbitrarily deeply. -After all, there is no overhead. -Except that if all these instances of <tt>rcu_read_lock()</tt> -and <tt>rcu_read_unlock()</tt> are visible to the compiler, -compilation will eventually fail due to exhausting memory, -mass storage, or user patience, whichever comes first. -If the nesting is not visible to the compiler, as is the case with -mutually recursive functions each in its own translation unit, -stack overflow will result. -If the nesting takes the form of loops, either the control variable -will overflow or (in the Linux kernel) you will get an RCU CPU stall warning. -Nevertheless, this class of RCU implementations is one -of the most composable constructs in existence. - -<p> -RCU implementations that explicitly track nesting depth -are limited by the nesting-depth counter. -For example, the Linux kernel's preemptible RCU limits nesting to -<tt>INT_MAX</tt>. -This should suffice for almost all practical purposes. -That said, a consecutive pair of RCU read-side critical sections -between which there is an operation that waits for a grace period -cannot be enclosed in another RCU read-side critical section. -This is because it is not legal to wait for a grace period within -an RCU read-side critical section: To do so would result either -in deadlock or -in RCU implicitly splitting the enclosing RCU read-side critical -section, neither of which is conducive to a long-lived and prosperous -kernel. - -<p> -It is worth noting that RCU is not alone in limiting composability. -For example, many transactional-memory implementations prohibit -composing a pair of transactions separated by an irrevocable -operation (for example, a network receive operation). -For another example, lock-based critical sections can be composed -surprisingly freely, but only if deadlock is avoided. - -<p> -In short, although RCU read-side critical sections are highly composable, -care is required in some situations, just as is the case for any other -composable synchronization mechanism. - -<h3><a name="Corner Cases">Corner Cases</a></h3> - -<p> -A given RCU workload might have an endless and intense stream of -RCU read-side critical sections, perhaps even so intense that there -was never a point in time during which there was not at least one -RCU read-side critical section in flight. -RCU cannot allow this situation to block grace periods: As long as -all the RCU read-side critical sections are finite, grace periods -must also be finite. - -<p> -That said, preemptible RCU implementations could potentially result -in RCU read-side critical sections being preempted for long durations, -which has the effect of creating a long-duration RCU read-side -critical section. -This situation can arise only in heavily loaded systems, but systems using -real-time priorities are of course more vulnerable. -Therefore, RCU priority boosting is provided to help deal with this -case. -That said, the exact requirements on RCU priority boosting will likely -evolve as more experience accumulates. - -<p> -Other workloads might have very high update rates. -Although one can argue that such workloads should instead use -something other than RCU, the fact remains that RCU must -handle such workloads gracefully. -This requirement is another factor driving batching of grace periods, -but it is also the driving force behind the checks for large numbers -of queued RCU callbacks in the <tt>call_rcu()</tt> code path. -Finally, high update rates should not delay RCU read-side critical -sections, although some read-side delays can occur when using -<tt>synchronize_rcu_expedited()</tt>, courtesy of this function's use -of <tt>try_stop_cpus()</tt>. -(In the future, <tt>synchronize_rcu_expedited()</tt> will be -converted to use lighter-weight inter-processor interrupts (IPIs), -but this will still disturb readers, though to a much smaller degree.) - -<p> -Although all three of these corner cases were understood in the early -1990s, a simple user-level test consisting of <tt>close(open(path))</tt> -in a tight loop -in the early 2000s suddenly provided a much deeper appreciation of the -high-update-rate corner case. -This test also motivated addition of some RCU code to react to high update -rates, for example, if a given CPU finds itself with more than 10,000 -RCU callbacks queued, it will cause RCU to take evasive action by -more aggressively starting grace periods and more aggressively forcing -completion of grace-period processing. -This evasive action causes the grace period to complete more quickly, -but at the cost of restricting RCU's batching optimizations, thus -increasing the CPU overhead incurred by that grace period. -

-<p> -Unfortunately, there is no way to cancel an RCU callback; -once you invoke <tt>call_rcu()</tt>, the callback function is -going to eventually be invoked, unless the system goes down first. -Because it is normally considered socially irresponsible to crash the system -in response to a module unload request, we need some other way -to deal with in-flight RCU callbacks. - -<p> -RCU therefore provides -<tt><a href="https://lwn.net/Articles/217484/">rcu_barrier()</a></tt>, -which waits until all in-flight RCU callbacks have been invoked. -If a module uses <tt>call_rcu()</tt>, its exit function should therefore -prevent any future invocation of <tt>call_rcu()</tt>, then invoke -<tt>rcu_barrier()</tt>. -In theory, the underlying module-unload code could invoke -<tt>rcu_barrier()</tt> unconditionally, but in practice this would -incur unacceptable latencies. - -<p> -Nikita Danilov noted this requirement for an analogous filesystem-unmount -situation, and Dipankar Sarma incorporated <tt>rcu_barrier()</tt> into RCU. -The need for <tt>rcu_barrier()</tt> for module unloading became -apparent later. - -<h3><a name="Hotplug CPU">Hotplug CPU</a></h3> - -<p> -The Linux kernel supports CPU hotplug, which means that CPUs -can come and go. -It is of course illegal to use any RCU API member from an offline CPU. -This requirement was present from day one in DYNIX/ptx, but -on the other hand, the Linux kernel's CPU-hotplug implementation -is “interesting.” - -<p> -The Linux-kernel CPU-hotplug implementation has notifiers that -are used to allow the various kernel subsystems (including RCU) -to respond appropriately to a given CPU-hotplug operation. -Most RCU operations may be invoked from CPU-hotplug notifiers, -including even normal synchronous grace-period operations -such as <tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt>. -However, expedited grace-period operations such as -<tt>synchronize_rcu_expedited()</tt> are not supported, -due to the fact that current implementations block CPU-hotplug -operations, which could result in deadlock. - -<p> -In addition, all-callback-wait operations such as -<tt>rcu_barrier()</tt> are also not supported, due to the -fact that there are phases of CPU-hotplug operations where -the outgoing CPU's callbacks will not be invoked until after -the CPU-hotplug operation ends, which could also result in deadlock. - -<h3><a name="Scheduler and RCU">Scheduler and RCU</a></h3> - -<p> -RCU depends on the scheduler, and the scheduler uses RCU to -protect some of its data structures. -This means the scheduler is forbidden from acquiring -the runqueue locks and the priority-inheritance locks -in the middle of an outermost RCU read-side critical section unless either -(1) it releases them before exiting that same -RCU read-side critical section, or -(2) interrupts are disabled across -that entire RCU read-side critical section. -This same prohibition also applies (recursively!) to any lock that is acquired -while holding any lock to which this prohibition applies. -Adhering to this rule prevents preemptible RCU from invoking -<tt>rcu_read_unlock_special()</tt> while either runqueue or -priority-inheritance locks are held, thus avoiding deadlock. - -<p> -Prior to v4.4, it was only necessary to disable preemption across -RCU read-side critical sections that acquired scheduler locks. -In v4.4, expedited grace periods started using IPIs, and these -IPIs could force a <tt>rcu_read_unlock()</tt> to take the slowpath. -Therefore, this expedited-grace-period change required disabling of -interrupts, not just preemption. - -<p> -For RCU's part, the preemptible-RCU <tt>rcu_read_unlock()</tt> -implementation must be written carefully to avoid similar deadlocks. -In particular, <tt>rcu_read_unlock()</tt> must tolerate an -interrupt where the interrupt handler invokes both -<tt>rcu_read_lock()</tt> and <tt>rcu_read_unlock()</tt>. -This possibility requires <tt>rcu_read_unlock()</tt> to use -negative nesting levels to avoid destructive recursion via -interrupt handler's use of RCU. - -<p> -This pair of mutual scheduler-RCU requirements came as a -<a href="https://lwn.net/Articles/453002/">complete surprise</a>. - -<p> -As noted above, RCU makes use of kthreads, and it is necessary to -avoid excessive CPU-time accumulation by these kthreads. -This requirement was no surprise, but RCU's violation of it -when running context-switch-heavy workloads when built with -<tt>CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y</tt> -<a href="http://www.rdrop.com/users/paulmck/scalability/paper/BareMetal.2015.01.15b.pdf">did come as a surprise [PDF]</a>. -RCU has made good progress towards meeting this requirement, even -for context-switch-have <tt>CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y</tt> workloads, -but there is room for further improvement. - -<h3><a name="Tracing and RCU">Tracing and RCU</a></h3> - -<p> -It is possible to use tracing on RCU code, but tracing itself -uses RCU. -For this reason, <tt>rcu_dereference_raw_notrace()</tt> -is provided for use by tracing, which avoids the destructive -recursion that could otherwise ensue. -This API is also used by virtualization in some architectures, -where RCU readers execute in environments in which tracing -cannot be used. -The tracing folks both located the requirement and provided the -needed fix, so this surprise requirement was relatively painless. - -<h3><a name="Energy Efficiency">Energy Efficiency</a></h3> - -<p> -Interrupting idle CPUs is considered socially unacceptable, -especially by people with battery-powered embedded systems. -RCU therefore conserves energy by detecting which CPUs are -idle, including tracking CPUs that have been interrupted from idle. -This is a large part of the energy-efficiency requirement, -so I learned of this via an irate phone call. - -<p> -Because RCU avoids interrupting idle CPUs, it is illegal to -execute an RCU read-side critical section on an idle CPU. -(Kernels built with <tt>CONFIG_PROVE_RCU=y</tt> will splat -if you try it.) -The <tt>RCU_NONIDLE()</tt> macro and <tt>_rcuidle</tt> -event tracing is provided to work around this restriction. -In addition, <tt>rcu_is_watching()</tt> may be used to -test whether or not it is currently legal to run RCU read-side -critical sections on this CPU. -I learned of the need for diagnostics on the one hand -and <tt>RCU_NONIDLE()</tt> on the other while inspecting -idle-loop code. -Steven Rostedt supplied <tt>_rcuidle</tt> event tracing, -which is used quite heavily in the idle loop. - -<p> -It is similarly socially unacceptable to interrupt an -<tt>nohz_full</tt> CPU running in userspace. -RCU must therefore track <tt>nohz_full</tt> userspace -execution. -And in -<a href="https://lwn.net/Articles/558284/"><tt>CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL_SYSIDLE=y</tt></a> -kernels, RCU must separately track idle CPUs on the one hand and -CPUs that are either idle or executing in userspace on the other. -In both cases, RCU must be able to sample state at two points in -time, and be able to determine whether or not some other CPU spent -any time idle and/or executing in userspace. - -<p> -These energy-efficiency requirements have proven quite difficult to -understand and to meet, for example, there have been more than five -clean-sheet rewrites of RCU's energy-efficiency code, the last of -which was finally able to demonstrate -<a href="http://www.rdrop.com/users/paulmck/realtime/paper/AMPenergy.2013.04.19a.pdf">real energy savings running on real hardware [PDF]</a>. -As noted earlier, -I learned of many of these requirements via angry phone calls: -Flaming me on the Linux-kernel mailing list was apparently not -sufficient to fully vent their ire at RCU's energy-efficiency bugs! - -<h3><a name="Memory Efficiency">Memory Efficiency</a></h3> - -<p> -Although small-memory non-realtime systems can simply use Tiny RCU, -code size is only one aspect of memory efficiency. -Another aspect is the size of the <tt>rcu_head</tt> structure -used by <tt>call_rcu()</tt> and <tt>kfree_rcu()</tt>. -Although this structure contains nothing more than a pair of pointers, -it does appear in many RCU-protected data structures, including -some that are size critical. -The <tt>page</tt> structure is a case in point, as evidenced by -the many occurrences of the <tt>union</tt> keyword within that structure. - -<p> -This need for memory efficiency is one reason that RCU uses hand-crafted -singly linked lists to track the <tt>rcu_head</tt> structures that -are waiting for a grace period to elapse. -It is also the reason why <tt>rcu_head</tt> structures do not contain -debug information, such as fields tracking the file and line of the -<tt>call_rcu()</tt> or <tt>kfree_rcu()</tt> that posted them. -Although this information might appear in debug-only kernel builds at some -point, in the meantime, the <tt>->func</tt> field will often provide -the needed debug information. - -<p> -However, in some cases, the need for memory efficiency leads to even -more extreme measures. -Returning to the <tt>page</tt> structure, the <tt>rcu_head</tt> field -shares storage with a great many other structures that are used at -various points in the corresponding page's lifetime. -In order to correctly resolve certain -<a href="https://lkml.kernel.org/g/1439976106-137226-1-git-send-email-kirill.shutemov@linux.intel.com">race conditions</a>, -the Linux kernel's memory-management subsystem needs a particular bit -to remain zero during all phases of grace-period processing, -and that bit happens to map to the bottom bit of the -<tt>rcu_head</tt> structure's <tt>->next</tt> field. -RCU makes this guarantee as long as <tt>call_rcu()</tt> -is used to post the callback, as opposed to <tt>kfree_rcu()</tt> -or some future “lazy” -variant of <tt>call_rcu()</tt> that might one day be created for -energy-efficiency purposes. - -<h3><a name="Performance, Scalability, Response Time, and Reliability"> -Performance, Scalability, Response Time, and Reliability</a></h3> - -<p> -Expanding on the -<a href="#Performance and Scalability">earlier discussion</a>, -RCU is used heavily by hot code paths in performance-critical -portions of the Linux kernel's networking, security, virtualization, -and scheduling code paths. -RCU must therefore use efficient implementations, especially in its -read-side primitives. -To that end, it would be good if preemptible RCU's implementation -of <tt>rcu_read_lock()</tt> could be inlined, however, doing -this requires resolving <tt>#include</tt> issues with the -<tt>task_struct</tt> structure. - -<p> -The Linux kernel supports hardware configurations with up to -4096 CPUs, which means that RCU must be extremely scalable. -Algorithms that involve frequent acquisitions of global locks or -frequent atomic operations on global variables simply cannot be -tolerated within the RCU implementation. -RCU therefore makes heavy use of a combining tree based on the -<tt>rcu_node</tt> structure. -RCU is required to tolerate all CPUs continuously invoking any -combination of RCU's runtime primitives with minimal per-operation -overhead. -In fact, in many cases, increasing load must <i>decrease</i> the -per-operation overhead, witness the batching optimizations for -<tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt>, <tt>call_rcu()</tt>, -<tt>synchronize_rcu_expedited()</tt>, and <tt>rcu_barrier()</tt>. -As a general rule, RCU must cheerfully accept whatever the -rest of the Linux kernel decides to throw at it. - -<p> -The Linux kernel is used for real-time workloads, especially -in conjunction with the -<a href="https://rt.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Main_Page">-rt patchset</a>. -The real-time-latency response requirements are such that the -traditional approach of disabling preemption across RCU -read-side critical sections is inappropriate. -Kernels built with <tt>CONFIG_PREEMPT=y</tt> therefore -use an RCU implementation that allows RCU read-side critical -sections to be preempted. -This requirement made its presence known after users made it -clear that an earlier -<a href="https://lwn.net/Articles/107930/">real-time patch</a> -did not meet their needs, in conjunction with some -<a href="https://lkml.kernel.org/g/20050318002026.GA2693@us.ibm.com">RCU issues</a> -encountered by a very early version of the -rt patchset. - -<p> -In addition, RCU must make do with a sub-100-microsecond real-time latency -budget. -In fact, on smaller systems with the -rt patchset, the Linux kernel -provides sub-20-microsecond real-time latencies for the whole kernel, -including RCU. -RCU's scalability and latency must therefore be sufficient for -these sorts of configurations. -To my surprise, the sub-100-microsecond real-time latency budget -<a href="http://www.rdrop.com/users/paulmck/realtime/paper/bigrt.2013.01.31a.LCA.pdf"> -applies to even the largest systems [PDF]</a>, -up to and including systems with 4096 CPUs. -This real-time requirement motivated the grace-period kthread, which -also simplified handling of a number of race conditions. - -<p> -Finally, RCU's status as a synchronization primitive means that -any RCU failure can result in arbitrary memory corruption that can be -extremely difficult to debug. -This means that RCU must be extremely reliable, which in -practice also means that RCU must have an aggressive stress-test -suite. -This stress-test suite is called <tt>rcutorture</tt>. - -<p> -Although the need for <tt>rcutorture</tt> was no surprise, -the current immense popularity of the Linux kernel is posing -interesting—and perhaps unprecedented—validation -challenges. -To see this, keep in mind that there are well over one billion -instances of the Linux kernel running today, given Android -smartphones, Linux-powered televisions, and servers. -This number can be expected to increase sharply with the advent of -the celebrated Internet of Things. - -<p> -Suppose that RCU contains a race condition that manifests on average -once per million years of runtime. -This bug will be occurring about three times per <i>day</i> across -the installed base. -RCU could simply hide behind hardware error rates, given that no one -should really expect their smartphone to last for a million years. -However, anyone taking too much comfort from this thought should -consider the fact that in most jurisdictions, a successful multi-year -test of a given mechanism, which might include a Linux kernel, -suffices for a number of types of safety-critical certifications. -In fact, rumor has it that the Linux kernel is already being used -in production for safety-critical applications. -I don't know about you, but I would feel quite bad if a bug in RCU -killed someone. -Which might explain my recent focus on validation and verification. - -<h2><a name="Other RCU Flavors">Other RCU Flavors</a></h2> - -<p> -One of the more surprising things about RCU is that there are now -no fewer than five <i>flavors</i>, or API families. -In addition, the primary flavor that has been the sole focus up to -this point has two different implementations, non-preemptible and -preemptible. -The other four flavors are listed below, with requirements for each -described in a separate section. - -<ol> -<li> <a href="#Bottom-Half Flavor">Bottom-Half Flavor</a> -<li> <a href="#Sched Flavor">Sched Flavor</a> -<li> <a href="#Sleepable RCU">Sleepable RCU</a> -<li> <a href="#Tasks RCU">Tasks RCU</a> -</ol> - -<h3><a name="Bottom-Half Flavor">Bottom-Half Flavor</a></h3> - -<p> -The softirq-disable (AKA “bottom-half”, -hence the “_bh” abbreviations) -flavor of RCU, or <i>RCU-bh</i>, was developed by -Dipankar Sarma to provide a flavor of RCU that could withstand the -network-based denial-of-service attacks researched by Robert -Olsson. -These attacks placed so much networking load on the system -that some of the CPUs never exited softirq execution, -which in turn prevented those CPUs from ever executing a context switch, -which, in the RCU implementation of that time, prevented grace periods -from ever ending. -The result was an out-of-memory condition and a system hang. - -<p> -The solution was the creation of RCU-bh, which does -<tt>local_bh_disable()</tt> -across its read-side critical sections, and which uses the transition -from one type of softirq processing to another as a quiescent state -in addition to context switch, idle, user mode, and offline. -This means that RCU-bh grace periods can complete even when some of -the CPUs execute in softirq indefinitely, thus allowing algorithms -based on RCU-bh to withstand network-based denial-of-service attacks. - -<p> -Because -<tt>rcu_read_lock_bh()</tt> and <tt>rcu_read_unlock_bh()</tt> -disable and re-enable softirq handlers, any attempt to start a softirq -handlers during the -RCU-bh read-side critical section will be deferred. -In this case, <tt>rcu_read_unlock_bh()</tt> -will invoke softirq processing, which can take considerable time. -One can of course argue that this softirq overhead should be associated -with the code following the RCU-bh read-side critical section rather -than <tt>rcu_read_unlock_bh()</tt>, but the fact -is that most profiling tools cannot be expected to make this sort -of fine distinction. -For example, suppose that a three-millisecond-long RCU-bh read-side -critical section executes during a time of heavy networking load. -There will very likely be an attempt to invoke at least one softirq -handler during that three milliseconds, but any such invocation will -be delayed until the time of the <tt>rcu_read_unlock_bh()</tt>. -This can of course make it appear at first glance as if -<tt>rcu_read_unlock_bh()</tt> was executing very slowly. - -<p> -The -<a href="https://lwn.net/Articles/609973/#RCU Per-Flavor API Table">RCU-bh API</a> -includes -<tt>rcu_read_lock_bh()</tt>, -<tt>rcu_read_unlock_bh()</tt>, -<tt>rcu_dereference_bh()</tt>, -<tt>rcu_dereference_bh_check()</tt>, -<tt>synchronize_rcu_bh()</tt>, -<tt>synchronize_rcu_bh_expedited()</tt>, -<tt>call_rcu_bh()</tt>, -<tt>rcu_barrier_bh()</tt>, and -<tt>rcu_read_lock_bh_held()</tt>. - -<h3><a name="Sched Flavor">Sched Flavor</a></h3> - -<p> -Before preemptible RCU, waiting for an RCU grace period had the -side effect of also waiting for all pre-existing interrupt -and NMI handlers. -However, there are legitimate preemptible-RCU implementations that -do not have this property, given that any point in the code outside -of an RCU read-side critical section can be a quiescent state. -Therefore, <i>RCU-sched</i> was created, which follows “classic” -RCU in that an RCU-sched grace period waits for for pre-existing -interrupt and NMI handlers. -In kernels built with <tt>CONFIG_PREEMPT=n</tt>, the RCU and RCU-sched -APIs have identical implementations, while kernels built with -<tt>CONFIG_PREEMPT=y</tt> provide a separate implementation for each. - -<p> -Note well that in <tt>CONFIG_PREEMPT=y</tt> kernels, -<tt>rcu_read_lock_sched()</tt> and <tt>rcu_read_unlock_sched()</tt> -disable and re-enable preemption, respectively. -This means that if there was a preemption attempt during the -RCU-sched read-side critical section, <tt>rcu_read_unlock_sched()</tt> -will enter the scheduler, with all the latency and overhead entailed. -Just as with <tt>rcu_read_unlock_bh()</tt>, this can make it look -as if <tt>rcu_read_unlock_sched()</tt> was executing very slowly. -However, the highest-priority task won't be preempted, so that task -will enjoy low-overhead <tt>rcu_read_unlock_sched()</tt> invocations. - -<p> -The -<a href="https://lwn.net/Articles/609973/#RCU Per-Flavor API Table">RCU-sched API</a> -includes -<tt>rcu_read_lock_sched()</tt>, -<tt>rcu_read_unlock_sched()</tt>, -<tt>rcu_read_lock_sched_notrace()</tt>, -<tt>rcu_read_unlock_sched_notrace()</tt>, -<tt>rcu_dereference_sched()</tt>, -<tt>rcu_dereference_sched_check()</tt>, -<tt>synchronize_sched()</tt>, -<tt>synchronize_rcu_sched_expedited()</tt>, -<tt>call_rcu_sched()</tt>, -<tt>rcu_barrier_sched()</tt>, and -<tt>rcu_read_lock_sched_held()</tt>. -However, anything that disables preemption also marks an RCU-sched -read-side critical section, including -<tt>preempt_disable()</tt> and <tt>preempt_enable()</tt>, -<tt>local_irq_save()</tt> and <tt>local_irq_restore()</tt>, -and so on. - -<h3><a name="Sleepable RCU">Sleepable RCU</a></h3> - -<p> -For well over a decade, someone saying “I need to block within -an RCU read-side critical section” was a reliable indication -that this someone did not understand RCU. -After all, if you are always blocking in an RCU read-side critical -section, you can probably afford to use a higher-overhead synchronization -mechanism. -However, that changed with the advent of the Linux kernel's notifiers, -whose RCU read-side critical -sections almost never sleep, but sometimes need to. -This resulted in the introduction of -<a href="https://lwn.net/Articles/202847/">sleepable RCU</a>, -or <i>SRCU</i>. - -<p> -SRCU allows different domains to be defined, with each such domain -defined by an instance of an <tt>srcu_struct</tt> structure. -A pointer to this structure must be passed in to each SRCU function, -for example, <tt>synchronize_srcu(&ss)</tt>, where -<tt>ss</tt> is the <tt>srcu_struct</tt> structure. -The key benefit of these domains is that a slow SRCU reader in one -domain does not delay an SRCU grace period in some other domain. -That said, one consequence of these domains is that read-side code -must pass a “cookie” from <tt>srcu_read_lock()</tt> -to <tt>srcu_read_unlock()</tt>, for example, as follows: - -<blockquote> -<pre> - 1 int idx; - 2 - 3 idx = srcu_read_lock(&ss); - 4 do_something(); - 5 srcu_read_unlock(&ss, idx); -</pre> -</blockquote> - -<p> -As noted above, it is legal to block within SRCU read-side critical sections, -however, with great power comes great responsibility. -If you block forever in one of a given domain's SRCU read-side critical -sections, then that domain's grace periods will also be blocked forever. -Of course, one good way to block forever is to deadlock, which can -happen if any operation in a given domain's SRCU read-side critical -section can block waiting, either directly or indirectly, for that domain's -grace period to elapse. -For example, this results in a self-deadlock: - -<blockquote> -<pre> - 1 int idx; - 2 - 3 idx = srcu_read_lock(&ss); - 4 do_something(); - 5 synchronize_srcu(&ss); - 6 srcu_read_unlock(&ss, idx); -</pre> -</blockquote> - -<p> -However, if line 5 acquired a mutex that was held across -a <tt>synchronize_srcu()</tt> for domain <tt>ss</tt>, -deadlock would still be possible. -Furthermore, if line 5 acquired a mutex that was held across -a <tt>synchronize_srcu()</tt> for some other domain <tt>ss1</tt>, -and if an <tt>ss1</tt>-domain SRCU read-side critical section -acquired another mutex that was held across as <tt>ss</tt>-domain -<tt>synchronize_srcu()</tt>, -deadlock would again be possible. -Such a deadlock cycle could extend across an arbitrarily large number -of different SRCU domains. -Again, with great power comes great responsibility. - -<p> -Unlike the other RCU flavors, SRCU read-side critical sections can -run on idle and even offline CPUs. -This ability requires that <tt>srcu_read_lock()</tt> and -<tt>srcu_read_unlock()</tt> contain memory barriers, which means -that SRCU readers will run a bit slower than would RCU readers. -It also motivates the <tt>smp_mb__after_srcu_read_unlock()</tt> -API, which, in combination with <tt>srcu_read_unlock()</tt>, -guarantees a full memory barrier. - -<p> -The -<a href="https://lwn.net/Articles/609973/#RCU Per-Flavor API Table">SRCU API</a> -includes -<tt>srcu_read_lock()</tt>, -<tt>srcu_read_unlock()</tt>, -<tt>srcu_dereference()</tt>, -<tt>srcu_dereference_check()</tt>, -<tt>synchronize_srcu()</tt>, -<tt>synchronize_srcu_expedited()</tt>, -<tt>call_srcu()</tt>, -<tt>srcu_barrier()</tt>, and -<tt>srcu_read_lock_held()</tt>. -It also includes -<tt>DEFINE_SRCU()</tt>, -<tt>DEFINE_STATIC_SRCU()</tt>, and -<tt>init_srcu_struct()</tt> -APIs for defining and initializing <tt>srcu_struct</tt> structures. - -<h3><a name="Tasks RCU">Tasks RCU</a></h3> - -<p> -Some forms of tracing use “tramopolines” to handle the -binary rewriting required to install different types of probes. -It would be good to be able to free old trampolines, which sounds -like a job for some form of RCU. -However, because it is necessary to be able to install a trace -anywhere in the code, it is not possible to use read-side markers -such as <tt>rcu_read_lock()</tt> and <tt>rcu_read_unlock()</tt>. -In addition, it does not work to have these markers in the trampoline -itself, because there would need to be instructions following -<tt>rcu_read_unlock()</tt>. -Although <tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt> would guarantee that execution -reached the <tt>rcu_read_unlock()</tt>, it would not be able to -guarantee that execution had completely left the trampoline. - -<p> -The solution, in the form of -<a href="https://lwn.net/Articles/607117/"><i>Tasks RCU</i></a>, -is to have implicit -read-side critical sections that are delimited by voluntary context -switches, that is, calls to <tt>schedule()</tt>, -<tt>cond_resched_rcu_qs()</tt>, and -<tt>synchronize_rcu_tasks()</tt>. -In addition, transitions to and from userspace execution also delimit -tasks-RCU read-side critical sections. - -<p> -The tasks-RCU API is quite compact, consisting only of -<tt>call_rcu_tasks()</tt>, -<tt>synchronize_rcu_tasks()</tt>, and -<tt>rcu_barrier_tasks()</tt>. - -<h2><a name="Possible Future Changes">Possible Future Changes</a></h2> - -<p> -One of the tricks that RCU uses to attain update-side scalability is -to increase grace-period latency with increasing numbers of CPUs. -If this becomes a serious problem, it will be necessary to rework the -grace-period state machine so as to avoid the need for the additional -latency. - -<p> -Expedited grace periods scan the CPUs, so their latency and overhead -increases with increasing numbers of CPUs. -If this becomes a serious problem on large systems, it will be necessary -to do some redesign to avoid this scalability problem. - -<p> -RCU disables CPU hotplug in a few places, perhaps most notably in the -expedited grace-period and <tt>rcu_barrier()</tt> operations. -If there is a strong reason to use expedited grace periods in CPU-hotplug -notifiers, it will be necessary to avoid disabling CPU hotplug. -This would introduce some complexity, so there had better be a <i>very</i> -good reason. - -<p> -The tradeoff between grace-period latency on the one hand and interruptions -of other CPUs on the other hand may need to be re-examined. -The desire is of course for zero grace-period latency as well as zero -interprocessor interrupts undertaken during an expedited grace period -operation. -While this ideal is unlikely to be achievable, it is quite possible that -further improvements can be made. - -<p> -The multiprocessor implementations of RCU use a combining tree that -groups CPUs so as to reduce lock contention and increase cache locality. -However, this combining tree does not spread its memory across NUMA -nodes nor does it align the CPU groups with hardware features such -as sockets or cores. -Such spreading and alignment is currently believed to be unnecessary -because the hotpath read-side primitives do not access the combining -tree, nor does <tt>call_rcu()</tt> in the common case. -If you believe that your architecture needs such spreading and alignment, -then your architecture should also benefit from the -<tt>rcutree.rcu_fanout_leaf</tt> boot parameter, which can be set -to the number of CPUs in a socket, NUMA node, or whatever. -If the number of CPUs is too large, use a fraction of the number of -CPUs. -If the number of CPUs is a large prime number, well, that certainly -is an “interesting” architectural choice! -More flexible arrangements might be considered, but only if -<tt>rcutree.rcu_fanout_leaf</tt> has proven inadequate, and only -if the inadequacy has been demonstrated by a carefully run and -realistic system-level workload. - -<p> -Please note that arrangements that require RCU to remap CPU numbers will -require extremely good demonstration of need and full exploration of -alternatives. - -<p> -There is an embarrassingly large number of flavors of RCU, and this -number has been increasing over time. -Perhaps it will be possible to combine some at some future date. - -<p> -RCU's various kthreads are reasonably recent additions. -It is quite likely that adjustments will be required to more gracefully -handle extreme loads. -It might also be necessary to be able to relate CPU utilization by -RCU's kthreads and softirq handlers to the code that instigated this -CPU utilization. -For example, RCU callback overhead might be charged back to the -originating <tt>call_rcu()</tt> instance, though probably not -in production kernels. -
