Subject: [PATCH RFC V8 8/17] x86/pvticketlock: When paravirtualizing ticket locks, increment by 2
Date: Wed, 02 May 2012 15:37:54 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120502100754.13206.10986.sendpatchset@codeblue.in.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20120502100610.13206.40.sendpatchset@codeblue.in.ibm.com>
From: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy.fitzhardinge@citrix.com>
Increment ticket head/tails by 2 rather than 1 to leave the LSB free
to store a "is in slowpath state" bit. This halves the number
of possible CPUs for a given ticket size, but this shouldn't matter
in practice - kernels built for 32k+ CPU systems are probably
specially built for the hardware rather than a generic distro
kernel.
