About the rcu_read_lock : I've done a version with
preempt_disable/enable() within the rcu_read_lock. I guess we can use
that until the RCU API is changed as you proposed.

No, I just wanted to play safe and do exactly like rcu_dereference
(ACCESS_ONCE followed by smp_read_barrier_depends()). Since there is one
path that needs a smp_rmb(), which is a stronger barrier than
smp_read_barrier_depends(), it is a sufficient condition to replace it
correctly, but I wanted to remove the unnecessary cost of having both
smp_read_barrier_depends() _and_ smp_rmb() which are then redundant.

As you say, since the ACCESS_ONCE is squeezed between two memory
barriers, we can remove it. The volatile becomes unnecessary.

All the updates are done through set_marker(), which includes :

elem->single.probe_private = (*entry)->single.probe_private;
/*
* Make sure the private data is valid when we update the
* single probe ptr.
*/
smp_wmb();
elem->single.func = (*entry)->single.func;
/*
* We also make sure that the new probe callbacks array is consistent
* before setting a pointer to it.
*/
rcu_assign_pointer(elem->multi, (*entry)->multi);
/*
* Update the function or multi probe array pointer before setting the
* ptype.
*/
smp_wmb();
elem->ptype = (*entry)->ptype;
elem->state = active;

The "caller" itself (markers calling a probe) should be seen as the
"read-side", while the "write side" is the probe update function
(set_marker).

Exactly. set_marker is not exported, but is used internally by exported
register/unregister probe functions.

Yup. That's it.

As I showed earlier, the fast path should be the "one probe connected"
one. And since it needs a smp_rmb() already, we would duplicate the
barriers if we use a rcu_dereference() and a smp_rmb(). This is why I
have taken the pieces of rcu_dereference() here rather that the actual
macro itself.

Yes. But the smp_wmb() would make sure that all references to the
marker_entry ("entry" here and "e" in remove_marker) have been done
before we allow remove_marker to kfree the marker_entry structure. Since
the remove_marker function depends on if (e->rcu_pending) to excute the
kfree(e) without rcu_barrier call, I thought that this execution flow
dependency would make sure they are ordered. The goal is wait for every
possible reference to the marker_entry before the kfree is executed.

However, it think it would be safer to put a smp_read_barrier_depends()
in the else path of the if (e->rcu_pending), so that we indicate
explicitely that we must read the e->pending before executing the
kfree(e), and this consistently with other CPUs. Does it make any sense?

>

Yes, free_old_closure is part of the main kernel, and the marker_entry
is allocated and freed by an internal function (freed by remove_marker).
The barriers are merely there to make sure the marker_entry is never
freed while there are still possible references to it.
