Subject: [patch v2 0/4] percpu_counter: cleanup and fix
Date: Wed, 13 Apr 2011 15:57:15 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110413075715.090406229@sli10-conroe.sh.intel.com> (raw)

Cleanup percpu_counter code and fix some bugs. The main purpose is to convert
percpu_counter to use atomic64, which is useful for workloads which cause
percpu_counter->lock contented. In a workload I tested, the atomic method is
50x faster (please see patch 4 for detail).

patch 1&2: clean up
patch 3: fix bug of percpu_counter for 32-bit systems.
patch 4: convert percpu_counter to use atomic64
