That is correct. The theory is that until after an srcu_read_lock_lite() has executed, there is no need to wait on it.

Can read ptr == old ? As long as the kernel was built with CONFIG_PROVE_RCU=y and given a fix to the wrong-CPU issue you quite rightly point out below, no it cannot. The CPU's first call to srcu_read_lock_lite() will use cmpxchg() to update ->srcu_reader_flavor, which will place full ordering between that update and the later read from "ptr". So if the synchronize_srcu() is too early to see the SRCU_READ_FLAVOR_LITE bit, then the reader must see the new value of "ptr". Similarly, if the reader can see the old value of "ptr", then synchronize_srcu() must see the reader's setting of the SRCU_READ_FLAVOR_LITE bit. But both the CONFIG_PROVE_RCU=n and the wrong-CPU issue must be fixed for this to work. Please see the upcoming patches to be posted as a reply to this email. > >>> + if (mask & SRCU_READ_FLAVOR_LITE && !gp) > >>> + return false; > >> > >> So, srcu_readers_active_idx_check() can potentially return false for very long > >> time, until the CPU executing srcu_readers_active_idx_check() does > >> at least one read lock/unlock lite call? > > > > That is correct.

I guess I could claim that this bug prevents the wrong-CPU bug above from resulting in a too-short SRCU grace period, but it is of course better to just fix the bugs. ;-) > >>> + return sum == unlocks; > >>> } > >>> > >>> /* > >>> @@ -473,6 +482,7 @@ static unsigned long srcu_readers_unlock_idx(struct srcu_struct *ssp, int idx) > >>> */ > >>> static bool srcu_readers_active_idx_check(struct srcu_struct *ssp, int idx) > >>> { > >>> + bool did_gp = !!(raw_cpu_read(ssp->sda->srcu_reader_flavor) & SRCU_READ_FLAVOR_LITE); > >> > >> sda->srcu_reader_flavor is only set when CONFIG_PROVE_RCU is enabled.
