Subject: [PATCH v1 1/2] padata: downgrade padata_do_multithreaded to serial execution for non-SMP
Date: Tue, 13 Feb 2024 19:13:46 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240213111347.3189206-2-gang.li@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20240213111347.3189206-1-gang.li@linux.dev>

Randy Dunlap and kernel test robot reported a warning:

```
WARNING: unmet direct dependencies detected for PADATA
  Depends on [n]: SMP [=n]
  Selected by [y]:
  - HUGETLBFS [=y] && (X86 [=y] || SPARC64 || ARCH_SUPPORTS_HUGETLBFS [=n] || BROKEN [=n]) && (SYSFS [=y] || SYSCTL [=n])
```

hugetlb parallelization depends on PADATA, and PADATA depends on SMP.

PADATA consists of two distinct functionality: One part is
padata_do_multithreaded which disregards order and simply divides
tasks into several groups for parallel execution. Hugetlb
init parallelization depends on padata_do_multithreaded.

The other part is composed of a set of APIs that, while handling data in
an out-of-order parallel manner, can eventually return the data with
ordered sequence. Currently Only `crypto/pcrypt.c` use them.

All users of PADATA of non-SMP case currently only use
padata_do_multithreaded. It is easy to implement a serial one in
include/linux/padata.h. And it is not necessary to implement another
functionality unless the only user of crypto/pcrypt.c does not depend on
SMP in the future.

Fixes: a2cefb08be66 ("hugetlb: have CONFIG_HUGETLBFS select CONFIG_PADATA")
