From 22fc6eccbf4ce4eb6265e6ada7b50a7b9cc57d05 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ravikiran G Thirumalai Date: Sun, 8 Jan 2006 01:01:27 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] Change maxaligned_in_smp alignemnt macros to internodealigned_in_smp macros ____cacheline_maxaligned_in_smp is currently used to align critical structures and avoid false sharing. It uses per-arch L1_CACHE_SHIFT_MAX and people find L1_CACHE_SHIFT_MAX useless. However, we have been using ____cacheline_maxaligned_in_smp to align structures on the internode cacheline size. As per Andi's suggestion, following patch kills ____cacheline_maxaligned_in_smp and introduces INTERNODE_CACHE_SHIFT, which defaults to L1_CACHE_SHIFT for all arches. Arches needing L3/Internode cacheline alignment can define INTERNODE_CACHE_SHIFT in the arch asm/cache.h. Patch replaces ____cacheline_maxaligned_in_smp with ____cacheline_internodealigned_in_smp With this patch, L1_CACHE_SHIFT_MAX can be killed Signed-off-by: Ravikiran Thirumalai Signed-off-by: Shai Fultheim Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- kernel/rcupdate.c | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) (limited to 'kernel/rcupdate.c') diff --git a/kernel/rcupdate.c b/kernel/rcupdate.c index 48d3bce465b..c9afc61240e 100644 --- a/kernel/rcupdate.c +++ b/kernel/rcupdate.c @@ -61,9 +61,9 @@ struct rcu_state { /* for current batch to proceed. */ }; -static struct rcu_state rcu_state ____cacheline_maxaligned_in_smp = +static struct rcu_state rcu_state ____cacheline_internodealigned_in_smp = {.lock = SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED, .cpumask = CPU_MASK_NONE }; -static struct rcu_state rcu_bh_state ____cacheline_maxaligned_in_smp = +static struct rcu_state rcu_bh_state ____cacheline_internodealigned_in_smp = {.lock = SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED, .cpumask = CPU_MASK_NONE }; DEFINE_PER_CPU(struct rcu_data, rcu_data) = { 0L }; -- cgit v1.2.3-18-g5258
