216 * Do an rcu_dereference(), but check that the conditions under which the
217 * dereference will take place are correct. Typically the conditions indicate
218 * the various locking conditions that should be held at that point. The check
219 * should return true if the conditions are satisfied.
221 * For example:
223 * bar = rcu_dereference_check(foo->bar, rcu_read_lock_held() ||
224 * lockdep_is_held(&foo->lock));
226 * could be used to indicate to lockdep that foo->bar may only be dereferenced
227 * if either the RCU read lock is held, or that the lock required to replace
228 * the bar struct at foo->bar is held.
230 * Note that the list of conditions may also include indications of when a lock
231 * need not be held, for example during initialisation or destruction of the
232 * target struct:
234 * bar = rcu_dereference_check(foo->bar, rcu_read_lock_held() ||

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

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

321 * Of course, writers must coordinate with each other. The normal
322 * spinlock primitives work well for this, but any other technique may be
