Let us call them as "atomic hotplug readers" ("atomic" because they run in atomic, non-preemptible contexts). Today, preempt_disable() or its equivalent works because the hotplug writer uses stop_machine() to take CPUs offline. But once stop_machine() is gone from the CPU hotplug offline path, the readers won't be able to prevent CPUs from going offline using preempt_disable(). So the intent here is to provide synchronization APIs for such atomic hotplug readers, to prevent (any) CPUs from going offline, without depending on stop_machine() at the writer-side. The new APIs will look something like this: get_online_cpus_atomic() and put_online_cpus_atomic() Some important design requirements and considerations: ----------------------------------------------------- 1. Scalable synchronization at the reader-side, especially in the fast-path Any synchronization at the atomic hotplug readers side must be highly scalable - avoid global single-holder locks/counters etc. Because, these paths currently use the extremely fast preempt_disable(); our replacement to preempt_disable() should not become ridiculously costly and also should not serialize the readers among themselves needlessly. At a minimum, the new APIs must be extremely fast at the reader side atleast in the fast-path, when no CPU offline writers are active. 2. preempt_disable() was recursive. The replacement should also be recursive. 3. No (new) lock-ordering restrictions preempt_disable() was super-flexible. It didn't impose any ordering restrictions or rules for nesting. Our replacement should also be equally flexible and usable. 4. No deadlock possibilities Regular per-cpu locking is not the way to go if we want to have relaxed rules for lock-ordering. Because, we can end up in circular-locking dependencies as explained in https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/6/290 So, avoid the usual per-cpu locking schemes (per-cpu locks/per-cpu atomic counters with spin-on-contention etc) as much as possible, to avoid numerous deadlock possibilities from creeping in. Implementation of the design: ---------------------------- We use per-CPU reader-writer locks for synchronization because: a. They are quite fast and scalable in the fast-path (when no writers are active), since they use fast per-cpu counters in those paths. b. They are recursive at the reader side. c. They provide a good amount of safety against deadlocks; they don't spring new deadlock possibilities on us from out of nowhere. As a result, they have relaxed locking rules and are quite flexible, and thus are best suited for replacing usages of preempt_disable() or local_irq_disable() at the reader side. Together, these satisfy all the requirements mentioned above. I'm indebted to Michael Wang and Xiao Guangrong for their numerous thoughtful suggestions and ideas, which inspired and influenced many of the decisions in this as well as previous designs.
