对于level的个数和node的个数：

crash> !grep CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT  /boot/config-3.0.101-0.47.90-default
CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT=64

CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT_LEAF没有设置，则走代码默认设置

 

在给定由RCU_FANOUT 和RCU_FANOUT_LEAF指定的扇出的情况下，第21-24行分别计算单级（包含单个rcu_node结构），两级，三级和四级rcu_node树支持的最大CPU数量。这些数量的CPU分别保留在RCU_FANOUT_1， RCU_FANOUT_2， RCU_FANOUT_3和 RCU_FANOUT_4 C预处理器变量中。

 

心得：

在rcu的回调中，一般是引用计数为0再挂rcu，然后在执行rcu的时候，用bugon判断一下计数。

static void release_tgcred(struct cred *cred)
{
#ifdef CONFIG_KEYS
    struct thread_group_cred *tgcred = cred->tgcred;

    if (atomic_dec_and_test(&tgcred->usage))
        call_rcu(&tgcred->rcu, release_tgcred_rcu);
#endif
}

如上，可以见到 atomic_dec_and_test ，这通过将引用计数-1然后和0比较，如果相等，则返回1，否则返回0，那么其实就是原子判断引用计数是否为1，

然后在rcu的回调中，通过BUG_ON的方式，确定是可以释放的，这样可以保证资源释放的时候，不会有其他的人在用这块内存了。这是一个好的编码习惯，减少了内存踩来踩去

的风险。

static void release_tgcred_rcu(struct rcu_head *rcu)
{
    struct thread_group_cred *tgcred =
        container_of(rcu, struct thread_group_cred, rcu);

    BUG_ON(atomic_read(&tgcred->usage) != 0);

    key_put(tgcred->session_keyring);
    key_put(tgcred->process_keyring);
    kfree(tgcred);
}

 

rcu的嵌套问题，后面补充。
