srcu: Make call_srcu() available during very early boot Event tracing is moving to SRCU in order to take advantage of the fact that SRCU may be safely used from idle and even offline CPUs. However, event tracing can invoke call_srcu() very early in the boot process, even before workqueue_init_early() is invoked (let alone rcu_init()). Therefore, call_srcu()'s attempts to queue work fail miserably. This commit therefore detects this situation, and refrains from attempting to queue work before rcu_init() time, but does everything else that it would have done, and in addition, adds the srcu_struct to a global list. The rcu_init() function now invokes a new srcu_init() function, which is empty if CONFIG_SRCU=n. Otherwise, srcu_init() queues work for each srcu_struct on the list. This all happens early enough in boot that there is but a single CPU with interrupts disabled, which allows synchronization to be dispensed with. Of course, the queued work won't actually be invoked until after workqueue_init() is invoked, which happens shortly after the scheduler is up and running. This means that although call_srcu() may be invoked any time after per-CPU variables have been set up, there is still a very narrow window when synchronize_srcu() won't work, and this window extends from the time that the scheduler starts until the time that workqueue_init() returns. This can be fixed in a manner similar to the fix for synchronize_rcu_expedited() and friends, but until someone actually needs to use synchronize_srcu() during this window, this fix is added churn for no benefit. Finally, note that Tree SRCU's new srcu_init() function invokes queue_work() rather than the queue_delayed_work() function that is invoked post-boot. The reason is that queue_delayed_work() will (as you would expect) post a timer, and timers have not yet been initialized. So use of queue_work() avoids the complaints about use of uninitialized spinlocks that would otherwise result. Besides, some delay is already provide by the aforementioned fact that the queued work won't actually be invoked until after the scheduler is up and running.

srcu: Remove cleanup_srcu_struct_quiesced() The cleanup_srcu_struct_quiesced() function was added because NVME used WQ_MEM_RECLAIM workqueues and SRCU did not, which meant that NVME workqueues waiting on SRCU workqueues could result in deadlocks during low-memory conditions. However, SRCU now also has WQ_MEM_RECLAIM workqueues, so there is no longer a potential for deadlock. Furthermore, it turns out to be extremely hard to use cleanup_srcu_struct_quiesced() correctly due to the fact that SRCU callback invocation accesses the srcu_struct structure's per-CPU data area just after callbacks are invoked. Therefore, the usual practice of using srcu_barrier() to wait for callbacks to be invoked before invoking cleanup_srcu_struct_quiesced() fails because SRCU's callback-invocation workqueue handler might be delayed, which can result in cleanup_srcu_struct_quiesced() being invoked (and thus freeing the per-CPU data) before the SRCU's callback-invocation workqueue handler is finished using that per-CPU data. Nor is this a theoretical problem: KASAN emitted use-after-free warnings because of this problem on actual runs. In short, NVME can now safely invoke cleanup_srcu_struct(), which avoids the use-after-free scenario. And cleanup_srcu_struct_quiesced() is quite difficult to use safely. This commit therefore removes cleanup_srcu_struct_quiesced(), switching its sole user back to cleanup_srcu_struct().

* Removes the count for the old reader from the appropriate element of
srcu: Allow use of Tiny/Tree SRCU from both process and interrupt context Linu Cherian reported a WARN in cleanup_srcu_struct() when shutting down a guest running iperf on a VFIO assigned device. This happens because irqfd_wakeup() calls srcu_read_lock(&kvm->irq_srcu) in interrupt context, while a worker thread does the same inside kvm_set_irq(). If the interrupt happens while the worker thread is executing __srcu_read_lock(), updates to the Classic SRCU ->lock_count[] field or the Tree SRCU ->srcu_lock_count[] field can be lost. The docs say you are not supposed to call srcu_read_lock() and srcu_read_unlock() from irq context, but KVM interrupt injection happens from (host) interrupt context and it would be nice if SRCU supported the use case. KVM is using SRCU here not really for the "sleepable" part, but rather due to its IPI-free fast detection of grace periods. It is therefore not desirable to switch back to RCU, which would effectively revert commit 719d93cd5f5c ("kvm/irqchip: Speed up KVM_SET_GSI_ROUTING", 2014-01-16). However, the docs are overly conservative. You can have an SRCU instance only has users in irq context, and you can mix process and irq context as long as process context users disable interrupts. In addition, __srcu_read_unlock() actually uses this_cpu_dec() on both Tree SRCU and Classic SRCU. For those two implementations, only srcu_read_lock() is unsafe. When Classic SRCU's __srcu_read_unlock() was changed to use this_cpu_dec(), in commit 5a41344a3d83 ("srcu: Simplify __srcu_read_unlock() via this_cpu_dec()", 2012-11-29), __srcu_read_lock() did two increments. Therefore it kept __this_cpu_inc(), with preempt_disable/enable in the caller. Tree SRCU however only does one increment, so on most architectures it is more efficient for __srcu_read_lock() to use this_cpu_inc(), and any performance differences appear to be down in the noise. Unlike Classic and Tree SRCU, Tiny SRCU does increments and decrements on a single variable. Therefore, as Peter Zijlstra pointed out, Tiny SRCU's implementation already supports mixed-context use of srcu_read_lock() and srcu_read_unlock(), at least as long as uses of srcu_read_lock() and srcu_read_unlock() in each handler are nested and paired properly. In other words, it is still illegal to (say) invoke srcu_read_lock() in an interrupt handler and to invoke the matching srcu_read_unlock() in a softirq handler. Therefore, the only change required for Tiny SRCU is to its comments.
