percpu: Resolve ambiguities in __get_cpu_var/cpumask_var_t

2014-08-28T12:58:57Z

__get_cpu_var can paper over differences in the definitions of cpumask_var_t and either use the address of the cpumask variable directly or perform a fetch of the address of the struct cpumask allocated elsewhere. This is important particularly when using per cpu cpumask_var_t declarations because in one case we have an offset into a per cpu area to handle and in the other case we need to fetch a pointer from the offset. This patch introduces a new macro this_cpu_cpumask_var_ptr() that is defined where cpumask_var_t is defined and performs the proper actions. All use cases where __get_cpu_var is used with cpumask_var_t are converted to the use of this_cpu_cpumask_var_ptr(). Signed-off-by: Christoph Lameter Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

cpumask: Utility function to set n'th cpu - local cpu first

2014-06-11T21:58:16Z

This function sets the n'th cpu - local cpu's first. For example: in a 16 cores server with even cpu's local, will get the following values: cpumask_set_cpu_local_first(0, numa, cpumask) => cpu 0 is set cpumask_set_cpu_local_first(1, numa, cpumask) => cpu 2 is set ... cpumask_set_cpu_local_first(7, numa, cpumask) => cpu 14 is set cpumask_set_cpu_local_first(8, numa, cpumask) => cpu 1 is set cpumask_set_cpu_local_first(9, numa, cpumask) => cpu 3 is set ... cpumask_set_cpu_local_first(15, numa, cpumask) => cpu 15 is set Curently this function will be used by multi queue networking devices to calculate the irq affinity mask, such that as many local cpu's as possible will be utilized to handle the mq device irq's.

net: Revert mlx4 cpumask changes.

2014-06-02T04:58:02Z

This reverts commit 70a640d0dae3a9b1b222ce673eb5d92c263ddd61 ("net/mlx4_en: Use affinity hint") and commit c8865b64b05b2f4eeefd369373e9c8aeb069e7a1 ("cpumask: Utility function to set n'th cpu - local cpu first") because these changes break the build when SMP is disabled amongst other things.

cpumask.h: silence warning with -Wsign-compare

Silence the warning when building with -Wsign-compare when cpumask.h is included: include/linux/cpumask.h: In function ‘cpumask_parse’: include/linux/cpumask.h:603:26: warning: signed and unsigned type in conditional expression [-Wsign-compare] int len = nl ? nl - buf : strlen(buf); ^ V2: Rusty pointed out that unsigned should be used instead.

cpumask: implement cpumask_parse()

2013-03-12T18:30:04Z

We have cpulist_parse() but not cpumask_parse(). Implement it using bitmap_parse(). bitmap_parse() is weird in that it takes @len for a string in kernel-memory which also is inconsistent with bitmap_parselist(). Make cpumask_parse() calculate the length and don't expose the inconsistency to cpumask users. Maybe we can fix up bitmap_parse() later. This will be used to expose workqueue cpumask knobs to userland via sysfs. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo Cc: Rusty Russell

cpumask: cpulist_parse() comments correction

2012-07-26T23:59:42Z

As introduced in Rusty's commit 29c0177e6a4, the function has no parameter @len, so need to remove it from comments to avoid kernel-doc warning: alexs@debian:~/linux-next$ scripts/kernel-doc -man include/linux/cpumask.h | split-man.pl /tmp/man .... Warning(include/linux/cpumask.h:602): Excess function parameter 'len' description in 'cpulist_parse' and correct the function name in comments to cpulist_parse.

cpumask: add a few comments of cpumask functions

2012-07-26T23:59:40Z

Current few cpumask functions' purposes are not quite clear. Stupid user like myself needs to dig into details for clear function purpose and return value. Add few explanation for them is helpful.
