[PATCH AUTOSEL 6.1 4/7] rcu-tasks: Maintain lists to eliminate RCU-tasks/do_exit() deadlocks

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 6b70399f9ef3809f6e308fd99dd78b072c1bd05c ]

This commit continues the elimination of deadlocks involving do_exit()
and RCU tasks by causing exit_tasks_rcu_start() to add the current
task to a per-CPU list and causing exit_tasks_rcu_stop() to remove the
current task from whatever list it is on.  These lists will be used to
track tasks that are exiting, while still accounting for any RCU-tasks
quiescent states that these tasks pass though.

[ paulmck: Apply Frederic Weisbecker feedback. ]
