Linux kernel stable tree
9407f5c3ec
Currently, srcu_read_lock_lite() uses the SRCU_READ_FLAVOR_LITE bit in ->srcu_reader_flavor to communicate to the grace-period processing in srcu_readers_active_idx_check() that the smp_mb() must be replaced by a synchronize_rcu(). Unfortunately, ->srcu_reader_flavor is not updated unless the kernel is built with CONFIG_PROVE_RCU=y. Therefore in all kernels built with CONFIG_PROVE_RCU=n, srcu_readers_active_idx_check() incorrectly uses smp_mb() instead of synchronize_rcu() for srcu_struct structures whose readers use srcu_read_lock_lite(). This commit therefore causes Tree SRCU srcu_read_lock_lite() to unconditionally update ->srcu_reader_flavor so that srcu_readers_active_idx_check() can make the correct choice.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
