synchronize_rcu_expedited — Brute-force RCU grace period
void synchronize_rcu_expedited ( | void) ; |
Wait for an RCU-preempt grace period, but expedite it. The basic
idea is to invoke synchronize_sched_expedited
to push all the tasks to
the ->blkd_tasks lists and wait for this list to drain. This consumes
significant time on all CPUs and is unfriendly to real-time workloads,
so is thus not recommended for any sort of common-case code.
In fact, if you are using synchronize_rcu_expedited
in a loop,
please restructure your code to batch your updates, and then Use a
single synchronize_rcu
instead.
