From cc6783f788d8fe8b23ec6fc2762f5e8c9a418eee Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Paul E. McKenney" Date: Fri, 6 Sep 2013 17:39:49 -0700 Subject: rcu: Is it safe to enter an RCU read-side critical section? There is currently no way for kernel code to determine whether it is safe to enter an RCU read-side critical section, in other words, whether or not RCU is paying attention to the currently running CPU. Given the large and increasing quantity of code shared by the idle loop and non-idle code, the this shortcoming is becoming increasingly painful. This commit therefore adds __rcu_is_watching(), which returns true if it is safe to enter an RCU read-side critical section on the currently running CPU. This function is quite fast, using only a __this_cpu_read(). However, the caller must disable preemption. Reported-by: Steven Rostedt Signed-off-by: Paul E.

This commit therefore renames rcu_is_cpu_idle() to rcu_is_watching. Signed-off-by: Paul E.
