rcu: Eliminate deadlock between CPU hotplug and expedited grace periods
Currently, the expedited grace-period primitives do get_online_cpus().
This greatly simplifies their implementation, but means that calls
to them holding locks that are acquired by CPU-hotplug notifiers (to
say nothing of calls to these primitives from CPU-hotplug notifiers)
can deadlock. But this is starting to become inconvenient, as can be
seen here: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/8/5/754. The problem in this
case is that some developers need to acquire a mutex from a CPU-hotplug
notifier, but also need to hold it across a synchronize_rcu_expedited().
As noted above, this currently results in deadlock.
This commit avoids the deadlock and retains the simplicity by creating
a try_get_online_cpus(), which returns false if the get_online_cpus()
reference count could not immediately be incremented. If a call to
try_get_online_cpus() returns true, the expedited primitives operate as
before. If a call returns false, the expedited primitives fall back to
normal grace-period operations. This falling back of course results in
increased grace-period latency, but only during times when CPU hotplug
operations are actually in flight. The effect should therefore be
negligible during normal operation.
