 =============================================
 
 One of the best applications of RCU is to protect read-mostly linked lists
-("struct list_head" in list.h).  One big advantage of this approach
+(``struct list_head`` in list.h).  One big advantage of this approach
 is that all of the required memory barriers are included for you in
 the list macros.  This document describes several applications of RCU,
 with the best fits first.
 
-Example 1: Read-Side Action Taken Outside of Lock, No In-Place Updates
+
+Example 1: Read-mostly list: Deferred Destruction
+-------------------------------------------------
+
+A widely used usecase for RCU lists in the kernel is lockless iteration over
+all processes in the system. ``task_struct::tasks`` represents the list node that
+links all the processes. The list can be traversed in parallel to any list
+additions or removals.
+
+The traversal of the list is done using ``for_each_process()`` which is defined
+by the 2 macros::
+
+	#define next_task(p) \
+		list_entry_rcu((p)->tasks.next, struct task_struct, tasks)
+
+	#define for_each_process(p) \
+		for (p = &init_task ; (p = next_task(p)) != &init_task ; )
+
+The code traversing the list of all processes typically looks like::
+
+	rcu_read_lock();
+	for_each_process(p) {
+		/* Do something with p */
+	}
+	rcu_read_unlock();
+
+The simplified code for removing a process from a task list is::
+
+	void release_task(struct task_struct *p)
+	{
+		write_lock(&tasklist_lock);
+		list_del_rcu(&p->tasks);
+		write_unlock(&tasklist_lock);
+		call_rcu(&p->rcu, delayed_put_task_struct);
+	}
+
+When a process exits, ``release_task()`` calls ``list_del_rcu(&p->tasks)`` under
+``tasklist_lock`` writer lock protection, to remove the task from the list of
+all tasks. The ``tasklist_lock`` prevents concurrent list additions/removals
+from corrupting the list. Readers using ``for_each_process()`` are not protected
+with the ``tasklist_lock``. To prevent readers from noticing changes in the list
+pointers, the ``task_struct`` object is freed only after one or more grace
+periods elapse (with the help of call_rcu()). This deferring of destruction
+ensures that any readers traversing the list will see valid ``p->tasks.next``
+pointers and deletion/freeing can happen in parallel with traversal of the list.
+This pattern is also called an **existence lock**, since RCU pins the object in
+memory until all existing readers finish.

+Example 5: Skipping Stale Objects
+---------------------------------
+
+For some usecases, reader performance can be improved by skipping stale objects
+during read-side list traversal if the object in concern is pending destruction
+after one or more grace periods. One such example can be found in the timerfd
+subsystem. When a ``CLOCK_REALTIME`` clock is reprogrammed - for example due to
+setting of the system time, then all programmed timerfds that depend on this
+clock get triggered and processes waiting on them to expire are woken up in
+advance of their scheduled expiry. To facilitate this, all such timers are added
+to an RCU-managed ``cancel_list`` when they are setup in
+``timerfd_setup_cancel()``::
+
+	static void timerfd_setup_cancel(struct timerfd_ctx *ctx, int flags)
+	{
+		spin_lock(&ctx->cancel_lock);
+		if ((ctx->clockid == CLOCK_REALTIME &&
+		    (flags & TFD_TIMER_ABSTIME) && (flags & TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)) {
+			if (!ctx->might_cancel) {
+				ctx->might_cancel = true;
+				spin_lock(&cancel_lock);
+				list_add_rcu(&ctx->clist, &cancel_list);
+				spin_unlock(&cancel_lock);
+			}
+		}
+		spin_unlock(&ctx->cancel_lock);
+	}
+
+When a timerfd is freed (fd is closed), then the ``might_cancel`` flag of the
+timerfd object is cleared, the object removed from the ``cancel_list`` and
+destroyed::
+
+	int timerfd_release(struct inode *inode, struct file *file)
+	{
+		struct timerfd_ctx *ctx = file->private_data;
+
+		spin_lock(&ctx->cancel_lock);
+		if (ctx->might_cancel) {
+			ctx->might_cancel = false;
+			spin_lock(&cancel_lock);
+			list_del_rcu(&ctx->clist);
+			spin_unlock(&cancel_lock);
+		}
+		spin_unlock(&ctx->cancel_lock);
+
+		hrtimer_cancel(&ctx->t.tmr);
+		kfree_rcu(ctx, rcu);
+		return 0;
+	}
+
+If the ``CLOCK_REALTIME`` clock is set, for example by a time server, the
+hrtimer framework calls ``timerfd_clock_was_set()`` which walks the
+``cancel_list`` and wakes up processes waiting on the timerfd. While iterating
+the ``cancel_list``, the ``might_cancel`` flag is consulted to skip stale
+objects::
+
+	void timerfd_clock_was_set(void)
+	{
+		struct timerfd_ctx *ctx;
+		unsigned long flags;
+
+		rcu_read_lock();
+		list_for_each_entry_rcu(ctx, &cancel_list, clist) {
+			if (!ctx->might_cancel)
+				continue;
+			spin_lock_irqsave(&ctx->wqh.lock, flags);
+			if (ctx->moffs != ktime_mono_to_real(0)) {
+				ctx->moffs = KTIME_MAX;
+				ctx->ticks++;
+				wake_up_locked_poll(&ctx->wqh, EPOLLIN);
+			}
+			spin_unlock_irqrestore(&ctx->wqh.lock, flags);
+		}
+		rcu_read_unlock();
+	}
+
+The key point here is, because RCU-traversal of the ``cancel_list`` happens
+while objects are being added and removed to the list, sometimes the traversal
+can step on an object that has been removed from the list. In this example, it
+is seen that it is better to skip such objects using a flag.

+would use up to 43 CPUs to run tests concurrently, which as of v5.4 would
+complete all the scenarios in two batches, reducing the time to complete
+from about eight hours to about one hour (not counting the time to build
+the sixteen kernels).  The "--dryrun sched" argument will not run tests,
+but rather tell you how the tests would be scheduled into batches.  This
+can be useful when working out how many CPUs to specify in the --cpus
+argument.
+
+Not all changes require that all scenarios be run.  For example, a change
+to Tree SRCU might run only the SRCU-N and SRCU-P scenarios using the
+--configs argument to kvm.sh as follows:  "--configs 'SRCU-N SRCU-P'".
+Large systems can run multiple copies of of the full set of scenarios,
+for example, a system with 448 hardware threads can run five instances
+of the full set concurrently.  To make this happen:
+
+	kvm.sh --cpus 448 --configs '5*CFLIST'
+
+Alternatively, such a system can run 56 concurrent instances of a single
+eight-CPU scenario:
+
+	kvm.sh --cpus 448 --configs '56*TREE04'
+
+Or 28 concurrent instances of each of two eight-CPU scenarios:
+
+	kvm.sh --cpus 448 --configs '28*TREE03 28*TREE04'
+
+Of course, each concurrent instance will use memory, which can be
+limited using the --memory argument, which defaults to 512M.  Small
+values for memory may require disabling the callback-flooding tests
+using the --bootargs parameter discussed below.
+
+Sometimes additional debugging is useful, and in such cases the --kconfig
+parameter to kvm.sh may be used, for example, "--kconfig 'CONFIG_KASAN=y'".
+
+Kernel boot arguments can also be supplied, for example, to control
+rcutorture's module parameters.  For example, to test a change to RCU's
+CPU stall-warning code, use "--bootargs 'rcutorture.stall_cpu=30'".
+This will of course result in the scripting reporting a failure, namely
+the resuling RCU CPU stall warning.  As noted above, reducing memory may
+require disabling rcutorture's callback-flooding tests:
+
+	kvm.sh --cpus 448 --configs '56*TREE04' --memory 128M \
+		--bootargs 'rcutorture.fwd_progress=0'
+
+Sometimes all that is needed is a full set of kernel builds.  This is
+what the --buildonly argument does.
+
+Finally, the --trust-make argument allows each kernel build to reuse what
+it can from the previous kernel build.
+
+There are additional more arcane arguments that are documented in the
+source code of the kvm.sh script.
+
+If a run contains failures, the number of buildtime and runtime failures
+is listed at the end of the kvm.sh output, which you really should redirect
+to a file.  The build products and console output of each run is kept in
+tools/testing/selftests/rcutorture/res in timestamped directories.  A
+given directory can be supplied to kvm-find-errors.sh in order to have
+it cycle you through summaries of errors and full error logs.  For example:
+
+	tools/testing/selftests/rcutorture/bin/kvm-find-errors.sh \
+		tools/testing/selftests/rcutorture/res/2020.01.20-15.54.23
+
+However, it is often more convenient to access the files directly.
+Files pertaining to all scenarios in a run reside in the top-level
+directory (2020.01.20-15.54.23 in the example above), while per-scenario
+files reside in a subdirectory named after the scenario (for example,
+"TREE04").  If a given scenario ran more than once (as in "--configs
+'56*TREE04'" above), the directories corresponding to the second and
+subsequent runs of that scenario include a sequence number, for example,
+"TREE04.2", "TREE04.3", and so on.
+
+The most frequently used file in the top-level directory is testid.txt.
+If the test ran in a git repository, then this file contains the commit
+that was tested and any uncommitted changes in diff format.
+
+The most frequently used files in each per-scenario-run directory are:
+
+.config: This file contains the Kconfig options.
+
+Make.out: This contains build output for a specific scenario.
+
+console.log: This contains the console output for a specific scenario.
+	This file may be examined once the kernel has booted, but
+	it might not exist if the build failed.
+
+vmlinux: This contains the kernel, which can be useful with tools like
+	objdump and gdb.
+
+A number of additional files are available, but are less frequently used.
+Many are intended for debugging of rcutorture itself or of its scripting.
+
+As of v5.4, a successful run with the default set of scenarios produces
+the following summary at the end of the run on a 12-CPU system:
