The next patch will introduce cross-cpu llist access and existing irq_work_sync() + drain_mem_cache() + rcu_barrier_tasks_trace() mechanism will not be enough, since irq_work_sync() + drain_mem_cache() on cpu A won't guarantee that llist on cpu A are empty. The free_bulk() on cpu B might add objects back to llist of cpu A. Add 'bool draining' flag. The modified sequence looks like: for_each_cpu: WRITE_ONCE(c->draining, true); // do_call_rcu_ttrace() won't be doing call_rcu() any more irq_work_sync(); // wait for irq_work callback (free_bulk) to finish drain_mem_cache(); // free all objects rcu_barrier_tasks_trace(); // wait for RCU callbacks to execute Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net> Acked-by: Hou Tao <houtao1@huawei.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20230706033447.54696-8-alexei.starovoitov@gmail.com
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
