Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 03/22] rcu: Size rcu_node tree from nr_cpu_ids rather than NR_CPUS
Date: Fri, 22 Jun 2012 08:17:02 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1340378241-6458-3-git-send-email-paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1340378241-6458-1-git-send-email-paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
The rcu_node tree array is sized based on compile-time constants,
including NR_CPUS. Although this approach has worked well in the past,
the recent trend by many distros to define NR_CPUS=4096 results in
excessive grace-period-initialization latencies.
This commit therefore substitutes the run-time computed nr_cpu_ids for
the compile-time NR_CPUS when building the tree. This can result in
much of the compile-time-allocated rcu_node array being unused. If
this is a major problem, you are in a specialized situation anyway,
so you can manually adjust the NR_CPUS, RCU_FANOUT, and RCU_FANOUT_LEAF
kernel config parameters.
