Alan Stern eabc069401 [PATCH] Add SRCU-based notifier chains ... This patch (as751) adds a new type of notifier chain, based on the SRCU (Sleepable Read-Copy Update) primitives recently added to the kernel. An SRCU notifier chain is much like a blocking notifier chain, in that it must be called in process context and its callout routines are allowed to sleep. The difference is that the chain's links are protected by the SRCU mechanism rather than by an rw-semaphore, so calling the chain has extremely low overhead: no memory barriers and no cache-line bouncing. On the other hand, unregistering from the chain is expensive and the chain head requires special runtime initialization (plus cleanup if it is to be deallocated). SRCU notifiers are appropriate for notifiers that will be called very frequently and for which unregistration occurs very seldom. The proposed "task notifier" scheme qualifies, as may some of the network notifiers. Signed-off-by: Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu> Acked-by: Paul E.
