Currently, this code could splat: oldstate = get_state_synchronize_rcu(); synchronize_rcu_expedited(); WARN_ON_ONCE(!poll_state_synchronize_rcu(oldstate)); This situation is counter-intuitive and user-unfriendly. After all, there really was a perfectly valid full grace period right after the call to get_state_synchronize_rcu(), so why shouldn't poll_state_synchronize_rcu() know about it? This commit therefore makes the polled grace-period API aware of expedited grace periods in addition to the normal grace periods that it is already aware of. With this change, the above code is guaranteed not to splat. Please note that the above code can still splat due to counter wrap on the one hand and situations involving partially overlapping normal/expedited grace periods on the other. On 64-bit systems, the second is of course much more likely than the first. It is possible to modify this approach to prevent overlapping grace periods from causing splats, but only at the expense of greatly increasing the probability of counter wrap, as in within milliseconds on 32-bit systems and within minutes on 64-bit systems. This commit is in preparation for polled expedited grace periods.
