Subject: [patch v3 0/3] percpu_counter: cleanup and fix
Date: Thu, 14 Apr 2011 10:04:47 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110414020447.979946152@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
7x faster (please see patch 3 for detail).

Note, patch 3 is against Christoph's 'percpu: preemptless __per_cpu_counter_add'
