Subject: [PATCH] generic-ipi: make struct call_function_data lockless
Date: Fri, 24 Jul 2009 17:50:16 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4A6983D8.8090805@cn.fujitsu.com> (raw)
This patch can remove spinlock from struct call_function_data, the
reasons are below:
1: add a new interface for cpumask named cpumask_test_and_clear_cpu(),
it can atomically test and clear specific cpu, we can use it instead
of cpumask_test_cpu() and cpumask_clear_cpu() and no need data->lock
to protect those in generic_smp_call_function_interrupt().
2: in smp_call_function_many(), after csd_lock() return, the current's
cfd_data is deleted from call_function list, so it not have race
between other cpus, then cfs_data is only used in
smp_call_function_many() that must disable preemption and not from
a hardware interrupthandler or from a bottom half handler to call,
only the correspond cpu can use it, so it not have race in current
cpu, no need cfs_data->lock to protect it.
3: after 1 and 2, cfs_data->lock is only use to protect cfs_data->refs in
generic_smp_call_function_interrupt(), so we can define cfs_data->refs
to atomic_t, and no need cfs_data->lock any more.
