This could be like this: enum srcu_nmi_flags { SRCU_NMI_UNKNOWN = 0x0, SRCU_NMI_UNSAFE = 0x1, SRCU_NMI_SAFE = 0x2 }; #ifdef CONFIG_NEED_SRCU_NMI_SAFE static inline int __srcu_read_lock_nmisafe(struct srcu_struct *ssp, enum srcu_nmi_flags flags) { int idx; struct srcu_data *sdp = raw_cpu_ptr(ssp->sda); idx = READ_ONCE(ssp->srcu_idx) & 0x1; atomic_long_inc(&sdp->srcu_lock_count[idx]); smp_mb__after_atomic(); /* B */ /* Avoid leaking the critical section. */ srcu_check_nmi_safety(ssp, flags); return idx; } #else static inline int __srcu_read_lock_nmisafe(struct srcu_struct *ssp, enum srcu_nmi_flags flags) { srcu_check_nmi_safety(ssp, flags); return __srcu_read_lock(ssp); } #endif static inline int srcu_read_lock_nmisafe(struct srcu_struct *ssp) { return __srcu_read_lock_nmisafe(ssp, SRCU_NMI_SAFE); } // An __srcu_read_lock() caller in kernel/rcu/tasks.h must be // taken care of as well static inline int srcu_read_lock(struct srcu_struct *ssp) { srcu_check_nmi_safety(ssp, SRCU_NMI_UNSAFE); return __srcu_read_lock(ssp); } And then you can call __srcu_read_lock_nmisafe(ssp, SRCU_NMI_UNKNOWN) from initializers of gp.
