From c3422bea5f09b0e85704f51f2b01271630b8940b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Paul E. McKenney" Date: Sun, 13 Sep 2009 09:15:10 -0700 Subject: rcu: Simplify rcu_read_unlock_special() quiescent-state accounting The earlier approach required two scheduling-clock ticks to note an preemptable-RCU quiescent state in the situation in which the scheduling-clock interrupt is unlucky enough to always interrupt an RCU read-side critical section. With this change, the quiescent state is instead noted by the outermost rcu_read_unlock() immediately following the first scheduling-clock tick, or, alternatively, by the first subsequent context switch. Therefore, this change also speeds up grace periods. Suggested-by: Josh Triplett Signed-off-by: Paul E.
