Name

call_rcu_bh — Queue an RCU for invocation after a quicker grace period.

Synopsis

void fastcall call_rcu_bh (struct rcu_head *  head,
 void (* func) (struct rcu_head *rcu));

Arguments

head

structure to be used for queueing the RCU updates.

func

actual update function to be invoked after the grace period

Description

The update function will be invoked some time after a full grace period elapses, in other words after all currently executing RCU read-side critical sections have completed. call_rcu_bh assumes that the read-side critical sections end on completion of a softirq handler. This means that read-side critical sections in process context must not be interrupted by softirqs. This interface is to be used when most of the read-side critical sections are in softirq context. RCU read-side critical sections are delimited by rcu_read_lock and rcu_read_unlock, * if in interrupt context or rcu_read_lock_bh and rcu_read_unlock_bh, if in process context. These may be nested.
