cover SRCU updates for v4.21/v5.0

Hello!

This series contains SRCU updates:

1. Fix kernel-doc missing notation, courtesy of Randy Dunlap.

2. Prevent __call_srcu() counter wrap with read-side critical section.

3. Lock srcu_data structure in srcu_gp_start(), fixing a an extremely
rare but also extremely embarrassing concurrency bug, courtesy of Dennis Krein.

4. Use "ssp" instead of "sp" for srcu_struct pointer, in the hope
that this prevents confusion about which lock is held.

Thanx, Paul

PATCH 2/4 srcu: Prevent __call_srcu() counter wrap with read-side critical section

In reply to Paul E. McKenney

From: "Paul E. McKenney" <[email protected]>

Ever since cdf7abc4610a ("srcu: Allow use of Tiny/Tree SRCU from both process and interrupt context"), it has been permissible to use SRCU read-side critical sections in interrupt context. This allows __call_srcu() to use SRCU read-side critical sections to prevent a new SRCU grace period from ending before the call to either srcu_funnel_gp_start() or srcu_funnel_exp_start completes, thus preventing SRCU grace-period counter overflow during that time.

Note that this does not permit removal of the counter-wrap checks in srcu_gp_end(). These check are necessary to handle the case where a given CPU does not interact at all with SRCU for an extended time period.

This commit therefore adds an SRCU read-side critical section to __call_srcu() in order to prevent grace period counter wrap during the funnel-locking process.

PATCH 3/4 srcu: Lock srcu_data structure in srcu_gp_start()

In reply to Paul E. McKenney

From: Dennis Krein <[email protected]>

The srcu_gp_start() function is called with the srcu_struct structure's ->lock held, but not with the srcu_data structure's ->lock. This is problematic because this function accesses and updates the srcu_data structure's ->srcu_cblist, which is protected by that lock. Failing to hold this lock can result in corruption of the SRCU callback lists, which in turn can result in arbitrarily bad results.

This commit therefore makes srcu_gp_start() acquire the srcu_data structure's ->lock across the calls to rcu_segcblist_advance() and rcu_segcblist_accelerate(), thus preventing this corruption.

PATCH 4/4 srcu: Use "ssp" instead of "sp" for srcu_struct pointer

In reply to Paul E. McKenney

In RCU, the distinction between "rsp", "rnp", and "rdp" has served well for a great many years, but in SRCU, "sp" vs. "sdp" has proven confusing. This commit therefore renames SRCU's "sp" pointers to "ssp", so that there is "ssp" for srcu_struct pointer, "snp" for srcu_node pointer, and "sdp" for srcu_data pointer.
