This patch (as751) adds a new type of notifier chain, based on the SRCU (Sleepable Read-Copy Update) primitives recently added to the kernel. An SRCU notifier chain is much like a blocking notifier chain, in that it must be called in process context and its callout routines are allowed to sleep. The difference is that the chain's links are protected by the SRCU mechanism rather than by an rw-semaphore, so calling the chain has extremely low overhead: no memory barriers and no cache-line bouncing. On the other hand, unregistering from the chain is expensive and the chain head requires special runtime initialization (plus cleanup if it is to be deallocated). SRCU notifiers are appropriate for notifiers that will be called very frequently and for which unregistration occurs very seldom. The proposed "task notifier" scheme qualifies, as may some of the network notifiers. Signed-off-by: Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu> Acked-by: Paul E.

/*
|
|
* Notifier chains are of four types:
|
|
*
|
|
* Atomic notifier chains: Chain callbacks run in interrupt/atomic
|
|
* context. Callouts are not allowed to block.
|
|
* Blocking notifier chains: Chain callbacks run in process context.
|
|
* Callouts are allowed to block.
|
|
* Raw notifier chains: There are no restrictions on callbacks,
|
|
* registration, or unregistration. All locking and protection
|
|
* must be provided by the caller.
|
|
* SRCU notifier chains: A variant of blocking notifier chains, with
|
|
* the same restrictions.
|
|
*
|
|
* atomic_notifier_chain_register() may be called from an atomic context,
|
|
* but blocking_notifier_chain_register() and srcu_notifier_chain_register()
|
|
* must be called from a process context. Ditto for the corresponding
|
|
* _unregister() routines.
|
|
*
|
|
* atomic_notifier_chain_unregister(), blocking_notifier_chain_unregister(),
|
|
* and srcu_notifier_chain_unregister() _must not_ be called from within
|
|
* the call chain.
|
|
*
|
|
* SRCU notifier chains are an alternative form of blocking notifier chains.
|
|
* They use SRCU (Sleepable Read-Copy Update) instead of rw-semaphores for
|
|
* protection of the chain links. This means there is _very_ low overhead
|
|
* in srcu_notifier_call_chain(): no cache bounces and no memory barriers.
|
|
* As compensation, srcu_notifier_chain_unregister() is rather expensive.
|
|
* SRCU notifier chains should be used when the chain will be called very
|
|
* often but notifier_blocks will seldom be removed. Also, SRCU notifier
|
|
* chains are slightly more difficult to use because they require special
|
|
* runtime initialization.
