From: Oleg Nesterov Date: Wed, 4 Oct 2006 09:17:17 +0000 (-0700) Subject: [PATCH] rcu: simplify/improve batch tuning X-Git-Tag: v2.6.19-rc1~44 X-Git-Url: https://err.no/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=20e9751bd9dd6b832fd84ada27840360f7e877f1;p=linux-2.6 [PATCH] rcu: simplify/improve batch tuning Kill a hard-to-calculate 'rsinterval' boot parameter and per-cpu rcu_data.last_rs_qlen. Instead, it adds adds a flag rcu_ctrlblk.signaled, which records the fact that one of CPUs has sent a resched IPI since the last rcu_start_batch(). Roughly speaking, we need two rcu_start_batch()s in order to move callbacks from ->nxtlist to ->donelist. This means that when ->qlen exceeds qhimark and continues to grow, we should send a resched IPI, and then do it again after we gone through a quiescent state. On the other hand, if it was already sent, we don't need to do it again when another CPU detects overflow of the queue. Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov Acked-by: Paul E.
