Subject: [PATCH v3 tip/core/rcu 09/34] rcu-tasks: Add an RCU-tasks rude variant
Date:   Fri, 27 Mar 2020 15:24:31 -0700
Message-Id: <20200327222456.12470-9-paulmck@kernel.org>
In-Reply-To: <20200327222346.GA12082@paulmck-ThinkPad-P72>
References: <20200327222346.GA12082@paulmck-ThinkPad-P72>

From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@kernel.org>

This commit adds a "rude" variant of RCU-tasks that has as quiescent
states schedule(), cond_resched_tasks_rcu_qs(), userspace execution,
and (in theory, anyway) cond_resched().  In other words, RCU-tasks rude
readers are regions of code with preemption disabled, but excluding code
early in the CPU-online sequence and late in the CPU-offline sequence.
Updates make use of IPIs and force an IPI and a context switch on each
online CPU.  This variant is useful in some situations in tracing.
