Merge branch 'core-rcu-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull RCU updates from Ingo Molnar: "The RCU changes in this cycle are: - Dynticks updates, consolidating open-coded counter accesses into a well-defined API - SRCU updates: Simplify algorithm, add formal verification - Documentation updates - Miscellaneous fixes - Torture-test updates Most of the diffstat comes from the relatively large documentation update" * 'core-rcu-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (42 commits) srcu: Reduce probability of SRCU ->unlock_count[] counter overflow rcutorture: Add CBMC-based formal verification for SRCU srcu: Force full grace-period ordering srcu: Implement more-efficient reader counts rcu: Adjust FQS offline checks for exact online-CPU detection rcu: Check cond_resched_rcu_qs() state less often to reduce GP overhead rcu: Abstract extended quiescent state determination rcu: Abstract dynticks extended quiescent state enter/exit operations rcu: Add lockdep checks to synchronous expedited primitives rcu: Eliminate unused expedited_normal counter llist: Clarify comments about when locking is needed rcu: Fix comment in rcu_organize_nocb_kthreads() rcu: Enable RCU tracepoints by default to aid in debugging rcu: Make rcu_cpu_starting() use its "cpu" argument rcu: Add comment headers to expedited-grace-period counter functions rcu: Don't wake rcuc/X kthreads on NOCB CPUs rcu: Re-enable TASKS_RCU for User Mode Linux rcu: Once again use NMI-based stack traces in stall warnings rcu: Remove short-term CPU kicking rcu: Add long-term CPU kicking ...

/*
* Lock-less NULL terminated single linked list
*
- * If there are multiple producers and multiple consumers, llist_add
- * can be used in producers and llist_del_all can be used in
- * consumers. They can work simultaneously without lock. But
- * llist_del_first can not be used here. Because llist_del_first
- * depends on list->first->next does not changed if list->first is not
- * changed during its operation, but llist_del_first, llist_add,
- * llist_add (or llist_del_all, llist_add, llist_add) sequence in
- * another consumer may violate that.
- *
- * If there are multiple producers and one consumer, llist_add can be
- * used in producers and llist_del_all or llist_del_first can be used
- * in the consumer.
- *
- * This can be summarized as follow:
+ * Cases where locking is not needed:
+ * If there are multiple producers and multiple consumers, llist_add can be
+ * used in producers and llist_del_all can be used in consumers simultaneously
+ * without locking. Also a single consumer can use llist_del_first while
+ * multiple producers simultaneously use llist_add, without any locking.
+ *
+ * Cases where locking is needed:
+ * If we have multiple consumers with llist_del_first used in one consumer, and
+ * llist_del_first or llist_del_all used in other consumers, then a lock is
+ * needed. This is because llist_del_first depends on list->first->next not
+ * changing, but without lock protection, there's no way to be sure about that
+ * if a preemption happens in the middle of the delete operation and on being
+ * preempted back, the list->first is the same as before causing the cmpxchg in
+ * llist_del_first to succeed. For example, while a llist_del_first operation
+ * is in progress in one consumer, then a llist_del_first, llist_add,
+ * llist_add (or llist_del_all, llist_add, llist_add) sequence in another
+ * consumer may cause violations.
+ *
+ * This can be summarized as follows:
*
* | add | del_first | del_all
* add | - | - | -
* del_first | | L | L
* del_all | | | -
*
- * Where "-" stands for no lock is needed, while "L" stands for lock
- * is needed.
+ * Where, a particular row's operation can happen concurrently with a column's
+ * operation, with "-" being no lock needed, while "L" being lock is needed.
*
* The list entries deleted via llist_del_all can be traversed with
* traversing function such as llist_for_each etc. But the list
