212 * Do an rcu_dereference(), but check that the conditions under which the
213 * dereference will take place are correct. Typically the conditions indicate
214 * the various locking conditions that should be held at that point. The check
215 * should return true if the conditions are satisfied.

219 * bar = rcu_dereference_check(foo->bar, rcu_read_lock_held() ||
220 * lockdep_is_held(&foo->lock));
222 * could be used to indicate to lockdep that foo->bar may only be dereferenced
223 * if either the RCU read lock is held, or that the lock required to replace
224 * the bar struct at foo->bar is held.
226 * Note that the list of conditions may also include indications of when a lock
227 * need not be held, for example during initialisation or destruction of the
228 * target struct:
230 * bar = rcu_dereference_check(foo->bar, rcu_read_lock_held() ||

268 * smp_read_barrier_depends() and keep the ACCESS_ONCE(). This is useful
269 * when the value of this pointer is accessed, but the pointer is not
270 * dereferenced, for example, when testing an RCU-protected pointer against
271 * NULL. This may also be used in cases where update-side locks prevent

278 * rcu_read_lock - mark the beginning of an RCU read-side critical section.
280 * When synchronize_rcu() is invoked on one CPU while other CPUs
281 * are within RCU read-side critical sections, then the
282 * synchronize_rcu() is guaranteed to block until after all the other
283 * CPUs exit their critical sections. Similarly, if call_rcu() is invoked
284 * on one CPU while other CPUs are within RCU read-side critical
285 * sections, invocation of the corresponding RCU callback is deferred
286 * until after the all the other CPUs exit their critical sections.
288 * Note, however, that RCU callbacks are permitted to run concurrently
289 * with RCU read-side critical sections. One way that this can happen
290 * is via the following sequence of events: (1) CPU 0 enters an RCU
291 * read-side critical section, (2) CPU 1 invokes call_rcu() to register
292 * an RCU callback, (3) CPU 0 exits the RCU read-side critical section,
293 * (4) CPU 2 enters a RCU read-side critical section, (5) the RCU
294 * callback is invoked. This is legal, because the RCU read-side critical
295 * section that was running concurrently with the call_rcu() (and which
296 * therefore might be referencing something that the corresponding RCU
297 * callback would free up) has completed before the corresponding
298 * RCU callback is invoked.
300 * RCU read-side critical sections may be nested. Any deferred actions
301 * will be deferred until the outermost RCU read-side critical section
302 * completes.
304 * It is illegal to block while in an RCU read-side critical section.

317 * Of course, writers must coordinate with each other. The normal
318 * spinlock primitives work well for this, but any other technique may be
319 * used as well. RCU does not care how the writers keep out of each
320 * others' way, as long as they do so.
