This Kconfig option causes call_rcu() to delay its callbacks in order to batch them. This means that a given RCU grace period covers more callbacks, thus reducing the number of grace periods, in turn reducing the amount of energy consumed, which increases battery lifetime which can be a very good thing. This is not a subtle effect: In some important use cases, the battery lifetime is increased by more than 10%. This CONFIG_RCU_LAZY=y option is available only for CPUs that offload callbacks, for example, CPUs mentioned in the rcu_nocbs kernel boot parameter passed to kernels built with CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU=y. Delaying callbacks is normally not a problem because most callbacks do nothing but free memory. If the system is short on memory, a shrinker will kick all currently queued lazy callbacks out of their laziness, thus freeing their memory in short order. Similarly, the rcu_barrier() function, which blocks until all currently queued callbacks are invoked, will also kick lazy callbacks, thus enabling rcu_barrier() to complete in a timely manner. However, there are some cases where laziness is not a good option. For example, synchronize_rcu() invokes call_rcu(), and blocks until the newly queued callback is invoked. It would not be a good for synchronize_rcu() to block for ten seconds, even on an idle system. Therefore, synchronize_rcu() invokes call_rcu_flush() instead of call_rcu(). The arrival of a non-lazy call_rcu_flush() callback on a given CPU kicks any lazy callbacks that might be already queued on that CPU. After all, if there is going to be a grace period, all callbacks might as well get full benefit from it. Yes, this could be done the other way around by creating a call_rcu_lazy(), but earlier experience with this approach and feedback at the 2022 Linux Plumbers Conference shifted the approach to call_rcu() being lazy with call_rcu_flush() for the few places where laziness is inappropriate. And another call_rcu() instance that cannot be lazy is the one in rxrpc_kill_connection(), which sometimes does a wakeup that should not be unduly delayed. Therefore, make rxrpc_kill_connection() use call_rcu_flush() in order to revert to the old behavior. Signed-off-by: Joel Fernandes (Google) Cc: David Howells Cc: Marc Dionne Cc: "David S.
