linux rcu 用法,synchronize_rcu()函数详解

二.代码详解

定义在：linux/kernel/rcupdate.c

606/**

607 * synchronize_rcu - wait until a grace period has elapsed.

608 *

609 * Control will return to the caller some time after a full grace

610 * period has elapsed, in other words after all currently executing RCU

611 * read-side critical sections have completed.  RCU read-side critical

612 * sections are delimited by rcu_read_lock() and rcu_read_unlock(),

613 * and may be nested.

614 *

615 * If your read-side code is not protected by rcu_read_lock(), do -not-

616 * use synchronize_rcu().

617 */

618void synchronize_rcu(void)

619{

620        struct rcu_synchronize rcu;

621

622        init_completion(&rcu.completion);

623        /* Will wake me after RCU finished */

624        call_rcu(&rcu.head, wakeme_after_rcu);

625

626        /* Wait for it */

627        wait_for_completion(&rcu.completion);

628}

其中 struct rcu_synchronize为：

592struct rcu_synchronize {

593        struct rcu_head head;

594        struct completion completion;

595};

rcu_head结构定义了        struct rcu_head *next;      //指向rcu_head的指针

void (*func)(struct rcu_head *head);  //回调函数

回调函数完成写执行单元最后的数据释放或修改操作。

completion结构的定义：

13struct completion {

14        unsigned int done;

15        wait_queue_head_t wait;

16};unsigned int done;

指示等待的事件是否完成。初始化时为0。如果为0，则表示等待的事件未完成。大于0表示等待的事件已经完成。

wait_queue_head_t wait;

存放等待该事件完成的进程队列。
