Subject: [PATCH v2 5/5] rcu-tasks: Clarify read side section info for rcu_tasks_rude GP primitives
Date: Wed, 25 Aug 2021 12:40:51 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1629875451-20628-6-git-send-email-neeraju@codeaurora.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1629875451-20628-1-git-send-email-neeraju@codeaurora.org>
RCU tasks rude variant does not maintain or check whether the current
running context on a CPU is usermode. Read side critical section ends
on transition to usermode execution, by the virtue of usermode
execution being schedulable. Clarify this in comments for
call_rcu_tasks_rude() and synchronize_rcu_tasks_rude().
