From bf0f2e23834e2bf7d64b467ef07095b1c7e2c04b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso Date: Sat, 5 Nov 2005 17:25:54 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] x86_64: Set ____cacheline_maxaligned_in_smp alignment to 128 bytes The current value was correct before the introduction of Intel EM64T support - but now L1_CACHE_SHIFT_MAX can be less than L1_CACHE_SHIFT, which _is_ funny! Between the few users of ____cacheline_maxaligned_in_smp, we also have (for example) rcu_ctrlblk, and struct zone, with zone->{lru_,}lock. I.e. we have a lot of excess cacheline bouncing on them. No correctness issues, obviously. So this could even be merged for 2.6.14 (I'm not a fan of this idea, though).
