| |
Example:
rcu_read_lock(); for_each_process_thread(p, t) { do_something_slow(p, t);
if (SPENT_TOO_MANY_TIME) { for_each_process_thread_break(p, t); rcu_read_unlock(); schedule(); rcu_read_lock(); for_each_process_thread_continue(&p, &t); } } rcu_read_unlock();
This looks similar to rcu_lock_break(), but much better and the next patch changes check_hung_uninterruptible_tasks() to use these new helpers. But my real target is show_state_filter() which can trivially lead to lockup.
Compared to rcu_lock_break(), for_each_process_thread_continue() never gives up, it relies on fact that both process and thread lists are sorted by the task->start_time key. So, for example, even if both leader/thread are already dead we can find the next alive process and continue.
TODO: This is another indication we should rename pid_alive(tsk) (and probably change it), most users call it to ensure that rcu_read_lock() still protects this tsk.
NOTE: it seems that, contrary to the comment, task_struct->start_time is not really monotonic, and this should be probably fixed. Until then _continue() might skip more threads with the same ->start_time than necessary.
