One necessary step towards consolidating the three flavors of RCU is to make sure that the resulting consolidated "one flavor to rule them all" correctly handles networking denial-of-service attacks. One thing that allows RCU-bh to do so is that __do_softirq() invokes rcu_bh_qs() every so often, and so something similar has to happen for consolidated RCU. This must be done carefully. For example, if a preemption-disabled region of code takes an interrupt which does softirq processing before returning, consolidated RCU must ignore the resulting rcu_bh_qs() invocations -- preemption is still disabled, and that means an RCU reader for the consolidated flavor. This commit therefore creates a new rcu_softirq_qs() that is called only from the ksoftirqd task, thus avoiding the interrupted-a-preempted-region problem. This new rcu_softirq_qs() function invokes rcu_sched_qs(), rcu_preempt_qs(), and rcu_preempt_deferred_qs(). The latter call handles any deferred quiescent states. Note that __do_softirq() still invokes rcu_bh_qs(). It will continue to do so until a later stage of cleanup when the RCU-bh flavor is removed. Signed-off-by: Paul E.
