From: Mathieu Desnoyers Date: Fri, 10 Feb 2023 19:55:24 +0000 (-0500) Subject: Fix: call_rcu: teardown default call_rcu worker on application exit X-Git-Tag: v0.13.3~3 X-Git-Url: http://git.lttng.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=c2f6c243a9b9129408102ba0b3bb524383a22d9b;p=userspace-rcu.git Fix: call_rcu: teardown default call_rcu worker on application exit Teardown the default call_rcu worker thread if there are no queued callbacks on process exit. This prevents leaking memory. Here is how an application can ensure graceful teardown of this worker thread: - An application queuing call_rcu callbacks should invoke rcu_barrier() before it exits. - When chaining call_rcu callbacks, the number of calls to rcu_barrier() on application exit must match at least the maximum number of chained callbacks. - If an application chains callbacks endlessly, it would have to be modified to stop chaining callbacks when it detects an application exit (e.g. with a flag), and wait for quiescence with rcu_barrier() after setting that flag. - The statements above apply to a library which queues call_rcu callbacks, only it needs to invoke rcu_barrier in its library destructor.
