rcu: Create rcu_sync infrastructure
The rcu_sync infrastructure can be thought of as infrastructure to be used to implement reader-writer primitives having extremely lightweight readers during times when there are no writers. The first use is in the percpu_rwsem used by the VFS subsystem. This infrastructure is functionally equivalent to struct rcu_sync_struct { atomic_t counter; }; /* Check possibility of fast-path read-side operations. */ static inline bool rcu_sync_is_idle(struct rcu_sync_struct *rss) { return atomic_read(&rss->counter) == 0; } /* Tell readers to use slowpaths. */ static inline void rcu_sync_enter(struct rcu_sync_struct *rss) { atomic_inc(&rss->counter); synchronize_sched(); } /* Allow readers to once again use fastpaths. */ static inline void rcu_sync_exit(struct rcu_sync_struct *rss) { synchronize_sched(); atomic_dec(&rss->counter); } The main difference is that it records the state and only calls synchronize_sched() if required. At least some of the calls to synchronize_sched() will be optimized away when rcu_sync_enter() and rcu_sync_exit() are invoked repeatedly in quick succession.
