From de03c72cfce5b263a674d04348b58475ec50163c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: KOSAKI Motohiro Date: Tue, 24 May 2011 17:12:15 -0700 Subject: mm: convert mm->cpu_vm_cpumask into cpumask_var_t cpumask_t is very big struct and cpu_vm_mask is placed wrong position. It might lead to reduce cache hit ratio. This patch has two change. 1) Move the place of cpumask into last of mm_struct. Because usually cpumask is accessed only front bits when the system has cpu-hotplug capability 2) Convert cpu_vm_mask into cpumask_var_t. It may help to reduce memory footprint if cpumask_size() will use nr_cpumask_bits properly in future. In addition, this patch change the name of cpu_vm_mask with cpu_vm_mask_var. It may help to detect out of tree cpu_vm_mask users. This patch has no functional change.

Don't let this scare you into thinking SMP cache/tlb flushing must be so inefficient, this is in fact an area where many optimizations are possible. For example, if it can be proven that a user address space has never executed -on a cpu (see vma->cpu_vm_mask), one need not perform a flush +on a cpu (see mm_cpumask()), one need not perform a flush for this address space on that cpu. First, the TLB flushing interfaces, since they are the simplest. The -- cgit v1.2.3
